    Chilling and racking prior to fermentation???

    Has anyone ever considered or tried chilling your finished wort down to 30-40 degrees allowing it to sit for a few days and racking it off the trub prior to pitching your yeast. At these temps I assume it would be very difficult for an infection to take on the task of fermentation and you would...

    So it begins (Brutus build)

    Well after staring at the steel in my garage for the past few weeks I figured it was time I actually started this build. I got a pretty good deal on the steel $50 for 40 feet.

    Promash grain bill % seems off.

    I love using Promash but one thing that bugs me is that I cant simply input percentages of each grain then set the SG and have the program figure out how many pounds of each grain to use.

To my surprise it started to spout so I planted it. Its been a few weeks since I planted the rhizome...

    Oxidized Beer..... Yes I did a search

    Ok as the thread title states I have searched and not found a definite source of oxidation in my beer. I have recently brewed two batches a pale ale and a n amber both of which taste stale. I am pretty careful not to aerate the beer/wort at anytime in the process of racking it. I auto siphon and...

    4 Batches of high FG beers ????

    Heres the story I recently switched to all grain and my first four batches have had very high finished gravities. None of the batches have been too high on the OG but FG's have all been around 1.026, I have tried a second hydrometer to confirm this and it too reads high. The first two were...

    How many points does priming sugar add?

    Like and idiot I added my priming sugar to my beer before I took my FG reading. I was wondering if anyone knows how to calculate how many SG points X number of oz of sugar adds per gallon of beer. I added 3.1oz of corn sugar to ~3.8 gallons of beer, Ended up with a FG of 1.022 which is high but...
