Hey Guys, I have a saison I am brewing for a friend that started with a quick lacto sour, pitched lacto around 120 degrees after boil and let it sit with Wyeast and WL facto for 3 days. I then boiled for another 60 minutes, added hops and pitched Wyeast 3711. Saw a little movement in the...

I have used my ToP a couple times without any problems. I am using all Blichmann stuff, burners, kettles, etc. The problem I am having is that my ToP will open the solenoid valve and the burner will lite, but it does not recognize that the burner has lit and will turn off the gas after the...

Hey guys, I am going to be getting a top tier soon and would like to add a gas line going up the stand. I've seen pictures of this, but don't know what are the best materials and what all I would need. Going with 2 burners and would like a ball and needle valve to be on each burner line. Any...

So I am trying a fast sour method of Berliner Weisse. I mashed around 148 and boiled for 15 minutes, cooled to around 115 and pitched some WLP677. After a day I got a ton of DMS. There's a hint of sourness under it, so I'm willing to salvage if something works to save it. I was thinking...

I brewed an Imperial Stout that had about 7% roasted Barley, which gave it a good, but more intense roasted coffee flavor than I wanted. The next one I do I want to add actual coffee grounds to the secondary. If I do this, should I decrease the amount of roasted barley, thinking it will give off...

I'm using my Ss Brewtech Chronical fermenter for the first time on a stout. It has been fermenting for about a week and it's help its gravity reading for a couple days.

Thoughts on this? The chips will be soaked in woodford reserve. Should I add a little vanilla? How much cherry? Aroma hops? The idea is not to have an old fashioned in a beer, but a beer that will remind you and have similar flavors of an old fashioned.

In my recent batch, a honey wheat, I missed my OG by .019. My OG was 1.03, which I thought was too low for what I wanted, so I steeped .5lbs of caramel 10l in .5 gallons, then boiled and added 2lbs of DME... Added that to fermenter (within 24hrs of fermentation) and it went nuts, but it's quited...

Ok, I made a honey wheat last night and my OG was off. Here's what I did wrong: I forgot to add .5lbs of 10l, which I had to buy separate, so just forgot. Found that out and added .5lbs of dark brown sugar to the boil to make up for ABV lose. OG came in around 1.03, when it should have...
