It's brew day today so last minute input would be appreciated before I used it

Thanks day, mine is brand new so I was concerned. Is this the case for anyone else? I want to save myself the hassle of lugging it back into my LHBS

Basically I wanted to know if you look at your glass carboy in the light can you see tiny specs on yours?

I can but the specs won't show, from different things I have read I heard it could be tiny bubbles in the glass? There are probably 100's of ball point specs throughout the carboy

Hey everyone so I just purchased a new 6.5 gal glass carboy, finally upgraded and when it got it from from Bell's Brewery it looked like their was dust particles inside the carboy so I grabbed some pbw and a carboy brush to clean and it would not come off, I rubbed the outside clean too and have...

I can tell the thicker particals on bottom are tiny hops that made it in, next time I will strain kettle going into primary Also beer temp in glass is 42 degrees

Okay so the beer taste 100/100 like Bells Oberon!! Clone so successful I can't believe it!!!!! But what the heck, why hasn't these yeasts or whatever they are fallen to the bottom? I poured and dumped about 2 pints in the sink to make sure the nasties were gone but there is still stuff in...

Thank you, that is all very helpful information for me!!! Much appreciated!

I'm wondering how I missed my FG? I'm actually happy it was lower than expected so my ABV is higher but what causes that? I've never missed an FG on the low side before, could it be because my OG was really off?

Thanks for sharing that picture, mine definitely doesn't look infected after seeing those pictures, mine was very even. I kegged as soon as I took that pic yesterday night so I should be pouring in the next two days or so! Hoping for the best! Thanks all

Here is the receipt and yeast, what are yeast rafts? That's normal? They did seem really slimy since they were in the beer. I considered getting a temp control but with summer approaching I wanted to wait and see what temps would change too.

So I did my first all grain batch two weeks ago, I ran into several problems. Like missing OG ( I got 1.040 ) was suppose to be 1.056 1.Beer was too cold (61-64 degrees so I moved to upstairs day 2) where it kicked off and reached temps of 72. After 2 days I then moved to basement again to...

Haha yeah!! I just drilled for a nice little door tap, just got another week in the primary until I can keg for the first time 😁

So I'm basically worrying for no reason. Thanks for the helpful info, you are correct, I do not know much about these mini fridges. When I first bought it and kept all the interiors inside the back wall was a perfect sheet of ice and now droplets form from constantly checking is my guess. I will...

I only checked it after I woke up this morning and it was obviously going through its defrost cycle because soon as I closed the door the unit started up and once I came back about 5 minutes later the water droplets on the back of the fridge were frozen. isn't the point of a defrost cycle to...

The fridge is a magic chef 4.4 ALL fridge no freezer. It is the standard 0-7 dial and right now I have it on 6. I was doing some research online and it says the liquid on the back is just the heating coil going through its cycle and draining the liquid (frost). I dislike this because I feel it...

Well the fridge goes through auto defrost cycles where you can see the liquid on the back of the fridge draining down and then once it kicks in it will freeze these droplets, I even purchased the fridge again because I didn't think this was normal and both do this!

I know why I Just want to make sure this won't negatively affect the tank like with possible liquid getting in or something ?

Hey guys, I knows I've posted a lot of questions recently but is it okay for a co2 tank to "sweat" or have slight liquid running down them during the deforest cycle of my mini fridge? Just worried because I know liquid and co2 do not mix. Any advice would be nice. I use a 4.4 cu ft magic chef...
