Thanks. I've read about the maillard reactions and carmelizations and such. Might have to try this. Thank you

Sorry for the hijack, but can you explain how you change boil time while maintaining OG to affect the fullness? I'm trying to learn how to make a stout the way I like it.

Not an expert, but this got me thinking. Where is your temp control probe located? If it's insulated against the keg, the air temp in the keezer may be getting warm before the compressor kicks in. This might allow the beer lines to warm just enough to allow the CO2 breakout that daytripper...

Ouch, like a dagger to the chest.

You made your adjustment pre-boil? Then, yes. IBUs will be the same.

If your batch size is now greater than 21L to achieve the predicted OG, technically your IBUs and mineral concentrations (Ca, Cl, SO4, etc) will be lower. How much effect this will have on taste depends on how much extra water you added.

Hmm. My guess is poor control of mash acidity. You need a mash pH of 5.2 to 5.4 to ensure proper conversion, taste, and storage. Outside of that range, problems can occur. You should read up about this. It's obviously too acidic if it's eating through the glass, creating pinholes for the beer to...

An over carbed beer won't be foamy inside the keg. The foam appears in your glass as the CO2 rushes out of solution as the beer is depressurized. I just fought this same problem. I didn't warm the beer back up, just closed the tank, pulled the valve and let the beer sit. I had to pull the valve...

Excuse me. Really sorry, but we have to pause for our sponsors. Can you stay with us until after the break? Thanks.

"Attaching a blow-off tube is advisable and necessary to remove the brown Kraeusen. The latter gives the beer a harsh taste if it is allowed to fall back into the beer." This was taken from Braukaiser's page on brewing hefewiezen in the beginning of the Primary Fermentation section. I dont know...

There used to be five or so suggested threads at the bottom of the screen that were related to the thread you were currently reading. They've been gone for a while. I always found that really helpful when researching a topic or question. Why are they gone? I'm on a smartphone, but just on a...

I already told you, it's a screen for a septic system. Not like you actually care.

Nice leech field screen.

Beer..... If it's wet, it works!

Keg the beast, and pour one ounce of it into your glass before filling with something else. It'll be gone in a couple years!

I honestly don't know, other than a few reviews on Amazon say that it can only push the beer not carbonate it, and that setting it to not foam like crazy was quite hard. I don't have any experience with the product.

You should have gotten a 15hp. Why mess around?

On a more constructive note... It sells for$110 on Amazon, and got pretty shotty reviews. Maybe explain to her that this contraption is for bringing carbonated beer home from a brewery and serving, which doesn't help you that much. Only you know your wife, and how she'll react.

RIP, Pyg.
