I’m a bit puzzled. I’ve been brewing for several years and have never had a stalled fermentation, but I think that is what I’m dealing with here. I pitched yeast Sunday morning. I ferment in this King Junior with a blowoff tube attached and at no point has there been any bubbling. I have...

Brewed a Munich Dunkel this weekend.

Installed some new tap handles and a drip tray. Yes, I realize it isn’t big enough for all three taps. I never have 3 on anyway 😎 If you are looking for an easy magnetic solution for a drip tray on a keezer, this CMS Magnetics tray does the job. You can find it on Amazon for about $20. Cheers!

Looks beautiful. NEIPA is a bold choice for a first beer on a new system 😎

Finally got around to fixing up a keezer I bought over a year ago. I don’t have a before picture, but it looks much better. The little keg is my German Pils and the King Junior has my Oktoberfest that is currently lagering. Prost!

Does anyone have a suggestion for cold crashing in an Anvil King Junior, or any similar type of plastic pressure fermenter? I’ve tried it once, and because a dunce, I didn’t realize the temperature change would cause it to dent inwards. It didn’t do any permanent damage, but I know it can’t be...

Survived a big layoff. This one is got the homies that didn’t make it. New Glarus 30th year anniversary quad.

HB German Pils was perfect for a scorching Carolina summer afternoon.

After 10 years, I think I have finally figured out my home brewery name. Tau Brewing. Simple, but with a lot of meaning for me - I love St. Francis https://aleteia.org/2014/10/28/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-cross-so-loved-by-st-francis/ Now I need to get some beer glasses made with the logo.

HB German Pils Latest version, first pour (6 weeks of lagering).

Marzen brew day is complete. I did a decoction mash because I hate myself. I tried to compensate for the high efficiency I have been having, and by doing so I went a little lower than expected on the original gravity. 1.049. I’m using a high attenuating yeast (s-189) so it will probably...

Accidentally shutting the door to kegerator/fermentation chamber without making sure the temperature probe is inside. Don’t do that. Luckily the Pilsner was nearly kicked and I need to move over my new Pilsner from the other ferm chamber to put on tap. Now I’m wondering what, if anything...

Newest version of my German Pils. Down to 1.010. I did a (single) decoction mash this time vs a single infusion mash on the last one. Also lightened up on the flavor/aroma hops. Interested to see how that changes it.

Actually… No 😝

HB German Pils with homemade brats and homemade Bavarian potato salad. Prost!

Proper glassware for my HB German Pils. This is quite good.

HB German Pils. This has been lagering for over 2 months.

Unfiltered Pilsner Urquell straight from the source in Pilsen.

Pilsner at a beer garden in Dresden, Germany a few days ago.

Cheers from Prague!
