surely, as with other cool new inventions, the 3d printer is also causing a boom of media attention. it basically makes producing super intricate parts for relatively cheap prices. i was reading an article about a guy who built a centrifuge using 3d printed parts and a hand held power tool...

Hiya, I recently moved to a very humid and tropical weather and have to use a fridge for fermentation. I use the analogue Johnson temp controler and if works just fine, but the fridge I use only goes down to 12c (53f), so basically if I set the Johnson to 0c (32f) the fridges' temp will only...

Hiya, I recently started using an unused small fridge as for my fermentations. I bought the analog johnson control to regulate temps. It does a neat job, altho the nob and the actual temps are off by a few degrees, but other than that, it works great. However, I want to cold crash to 0c but my...

Hiya, Im about to brew my first imperial russian stout, and according to the research ive made, most ot recommend aging the beer (anywhere from 6 to 12 months), i was wondering, is this really necessary? to my undestanding, aging is inly really necessary for us homebrewers since we cannot...

Hey everyone, Im gonna be purchasing a nice used conical n will be able to control temps pretty well, and i was thinking if during the stationary phase of fermentation i could drop or raise the temp by a few degrees in order to force the yeast to clean up after themselves a bit faster? put...

Hiya, so ive started readin about sanitation a bit and theres a question i cant seem to answer by the stuff ive read. and most of the time all brewing questions, no matter how obscure or specific, have already been asked n answered. but in this case i havent found anything. basically, what...

Hiya, I was wondering, what's the physics/chemistry behind yeast cells (ale yeast at least) falling out of suspention i.e. flocculating? And by the same token, why does yeast stay in suspention? I googled the question but the answers were highly technical/sciency for me to understand...

Hiya, so I was thinking, why is it that the co2 produced in primary fermentation is not used for carbonation, and instead is blowed off thru the airlock? If carbonation occurs when the deadspace in the keg/bottle is saturated with co2, it then has no other choice than to go back down into the...

this is a follow up to this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/ag-how-lauter-without-using-grain-bed-367889/ i started a few days back. basically, i messed the lauter up and had did not sparge, resulting with a cloudy wort which i decided to leave settle overnight. went to bed, woke...

Hiya, the title might seem odd i guess, but this is what happend: this is the first time i brew, and i went AG. So I mashed my grain alright, no major problems, then i went to lauter, but the lauter tun i build was really crappy (bucket with ball valve and a ss braid) and when i dumped...
