Hello, I have made a video of a full brew day that shows many of the low oxygen techniques. But this is not just a low oxygen video. I made it to document my process and equipment in the hopes that we can discuss and learn from each other. Also, newer brewers can see a lot of things that are...

Hello, I tried searching for this but there are too many overlapping terms. I was wondering of anybody has put a pot inside a pot of boiling water to execute a decoction? I heard this on a Brewcaster episode many years ago. The thought is to remove scorching risk by putting a smaller stock...

Hello, I have an ISpindel that I have not hooked up yet, so I not really up to speed yet. I was wondering if there is a proven way to utilize the temperature reading coming off the ISpindel to connect to a smart plug and control on/off of a wine fridge? I have seen some stuff on the web about...

Hello, I am thinking of picking one of these up after reading an Amazon review for a different brand of induction burner. The other brand apparently does not do well at lower wattages. Some chefs said the unit basically just runs at full power but cycles on and off when you have the power...

Hello, I am looking for a replacement lid for the Kegmenter 4" opening product if you have one you might want to part with. Thanks!

Hello, Just wondering if any Torpedo keg owners had a micrometer and could measure the outer wall of one of the kegs? If that is even possible... The manufacturer in China said the thickness was 1mm and I just wanted to verify as that sounds pretty thin (.039"). Thanks!

Hello, I brewed a Belgian Blond today with WY1214 and decided to add my Florida Crystals sugar in the fermenter instead of the last five minutes of the boil. My concern is if the wort is going to foam up when I inject the sugar solution through the airlock hole? I tried to add sugar to keg...

Hello, I have been reading and listening up on Kveik yeasts. They are very interesting to me. I am looking to brew with one but would like some usage opinions before picking a strain. I am more of a West Coast fan than an East Coast fan, so that would be my first preference. I listened to a...

Hello, I wanted to ask some questions to the forum and hopefully this will help everybody overall. How long does lactobacillus from grain live outside of its host? Or does it have a host? Like many, I have some brew buckets that I use during the brew day. These either have grain in them or...

Hello, I was thinking about my fermentation setup and would like to do some dry hopping. I use a SS Fusti for fermentation and spund to kegs for finishing. My hope is to be able to dry hop with loose pellets in the primary but do not want any hop particles making their way into the service...

Hello, I have started brewing with an Anvil Foundry and have come across an issue with wheat beers. Basically, there is too much mash sediment/particles falling out of the basket which causes the unit to protect itself from scorching and shut down. I do a recirc but the process is not...

Hello, I have been looking for a metal bucket or two. I have some normal 5 gallon buckets but when I put chiller runoff water I feel them getting soft from the temperature. Also, just got an Anvil Foundry and the mash basket does not fit in a normal 5 gallon bucket to let drain empty before...

Hello, I am about to bring this up to my LHBS and wanted to ask if anybody is doing this at their LHBS. Why aren't the LHB'S taking direct orders from homebrewer's for their yeast orders? I would assume they are ordering from the makers every week or two. The long time approach has been to...
