So I got an infection. It's in a brand new bucket too! It does have a plastic spigot as well. I suspected a bad batch of yeast due to no airlock activity after 4 days so I took a gravity sample through the spigot. Not sure if that's how I introduced the nasties or when I pitched new yeast...
Has anyone heard of the new yeast from imperial organic coming out? It's called Juice and is specific for east coast IPA's. It's starting to ship this week
I used us-05 on this as I don't really care for Hefeweizen yeast either. Didn't care for it at all. Over the top fruity/lime.Something about the yeast I think mellows that out. If I were to do it again I would use an American wheat yeast.
Just tried an omega dipa. 6 days in and 0 drop in gravity. I've been using the Conan strain from imperial organic with great success. Back to that I guess
Has anyone heard about this or have any feedback? Fully automated brewing and full size batches compared to the pico brew. At the same price as well.

I let it age 4 weeks before I tried it. Just kicked the keg 3 after three months and it tasted the same. Well I shouldn't say the same. The aroma and taste was deff there but not as strong
Brewed a Belgian pale and I'm picking up on a kinda sweet smell. I take a drink and it tastes just like that smell I'm getting. My FG was 1.011 so I don't feel like that's my problem. Maybe it is. Here is the recipe. 90 min boil for the Pilsner malt
Wanting to try fermenting in my keggle. Is their anyway I could spin my ball valve/pickup tube assembly to use it as a racking arm. I see where the new anvil kettle ferment kit add a Teflon washer in between the valve to allow it to spin. Think this could work for me?
Will that unit do cooling? Wanting to ferment in my boil kettle. New anvil kettle with the ferment gasket. It would be nice to do all 3. Mash,boil,ferment control.
Wow schematix thanks for the info. Will give it a whirl. One other question. How would you go about dry hopping in the keg using that method? Or would you just dry hop in primary instead?
