Hi, I t is too cold right now for Ales, so I am using an old refrigerator that is sitting int he garage as a fermentation chamber. The only problem is the smell. I cleaned it as good as I could even sanitized it, but at Ale fermentation temperatures it is really smelly. It is the...

Exploding buckets??? Wouldn't the pressure just push out the airlock instead of???? :confused:

It happened to me on my first batch. I used some white bottles, (corona I believe) and they got skunked. It tasted like crap and had the yellowish discoloration in the bottle. Now I'm paranoid about light hitting my brew, and throw out the white bottles. :eek:

Thank you for the reply's. :mug: I had the impression that all light is bad for beer. Would this be a good choice?

Thanks for the suggestions, but isn't light supposed to be bad for your brew? Wouldn't running a light bulb to keep the temp. up negatively effect the beer? Schupaul, what kind of heating pad would that be? Thank you.

I finally finished building my controller. I will be doing an ale next and I am going to use a stand up refrigerator as a fermentation chamber hocked up to this controller. Now my question; what would I use for heating that is not going to melt the inside of the Refrigerator...

I used the same batch last night for EdWorts Apfelwein and it was good. I hope the problems are in the past with this yeast.

After coming across this post I really felt like having some Apfelvein. Mixed it up last night and going strong in less than eight hours. The only change I did was using cider instead of apple juice, It will probably take linger to clear, anyways I want it ready for the summer as for me...

The tow weeks of carbonation is just a bear minimum, imho. I never had a batch that was really ready by carbing it for only two weeks. Drinkable? Yes. Great? Probably not. Why don't you just pop one and try it? :rockin:

I am no expert by any means, but I am gearing towards doing my first lager so I read a lot about this topic. The way I understand it is that you need a large starter and let it ferment until you reached your final gravity. (no secondary) After that move it to secondary and lager it cold...

I should have been more precise about this question. What I meant to ask is; why boast the alcohol content? Just to get a better bang for the buck, or is there something else behind it? Thank You.

I have a few questions about Apfelwein. Does light negatively effect Apfelwein or other wine the same way as it effects beer? Why does almost all the recipes call for extra sugar in the ingredients list? I used to work in Germany at a place where the restaurant was famous for the...

IMHO the fact is that anything you write or the pictures you uploaded will be archived as long as there is Internet as we know it. That perhaps doesn't sound too bad but, almost anything can and will be taken out of content by some people. Your views and opinions of today will most...

Granted. As soon as you touch the money the Police arrest you, for robbing the local Bank. I wish I can do telekinesis.
