I know what you're talking about. But this is filtered beer, clear as glass. I guess I need something better for cleaning. But funny it is only 1 of the kegs.............. What do you recommend for cleaning lines????

I usually use stericlean (bleach based I believe).

good question. I put iodophor in the keg and run it through the lines.

I vote for adding boiling water. <<< 2 cents>>>

I have done my mash and sparge in the evening, then brought my wort up to 95C or so, close to a boil, and left it. the next day I would do the boil.

Ok, I have two 5-gal kegs. These are used 'pepsi' kegs from Keg Connection online. I did off a couple of batches of beer recently, a Czechvar clone, and a 'cream of three crops' batch. Frankly the Czechvar came out AMAZING! My first lager, and I am hooked. The Cof3C's I have made...

Hi, Did this recipe turn out. I have been seeking a fruli recipe for SWMBO.

Hey, I don't have the book onhand, but Clone Brews lists a recipe for it.

Did you ever find a recipe for this? I'm interested in brewing an english IPA and this is one of my favorite

I did a little research, and realized the error of my ways. It should have been obvious to me, that a saline solution does not have the same refractive index as a sugar solution. so even though the meter shows S.G., it's a translated S.G. estimated on saline, not sugar. oops! Anyone want to...

Hi folks, I picked up an ebay refractometer (I know, some of you might be already shaking your heads). It is listed as a salinity refractometer, and has a built in SG scale to 1.070. Problem is, I am not getting the right readings from it. a SG of 1.020 (measured by my hydrometer) is...

Clearly, The guy was talking about head retention, not MERINGUE retention:ban: That's awsome. :rockin: um.... how the heck do you get that much head?:mug:

you guys make some good points. I'll continue with my own attempts at FWH's and see what I think. I'm doing my first brew that way tomorrow (and introducing a friend to all-grain brewing at the same time)!~

Ok, I just read this on beertools.com (http://www.beertools.com/html/articles.php?view=245), written by Eric Watson 1) First Wort Hopping: Don't ! This was a technique adopted by German brewmasters in the early 80's under the premise that it produced a "finer bitterness" than traditional...

Thanks, I was incorrect in the beer, I meant Northern English Brown Ale. I had my next two batches mixed up! That would definitely be too much alkalinity otherwise!

Thanks, My local water profile looks like this: Source Water Calcium (ppm) 2 Magnesium (ppm) 1 Alkalinity as CaCO3 7 Sodium (ppm) 4 Chloride (ppm) 6 Sulfate (ppm) 0 Water pH 7 After additions I am...

so, I've been doing some AG brews for a while now, praying my local water is good, and using 52 stabilizer. Things are going good, but I'd like to start adjusting my water chemistry. I got a copy of the local water profile, and using Palmer's spreadsheet...

So I'm doing another run of Orfy's hobgoblin clone, which is excellent by the way, and was thinking about doing some First Wort Hopping. So, having read a number of sources, I'm confident to go ahead and toss the flavor hops in with the first runnings (which I would normally add with 15...
