Currently I have this. It's mounted under a hood. I want to get rid of the hose. I have two plans, but I need help if plan#2 ("Plan #1" is btw a great song by norwegian band Motorpsycho, free goodie right there) will work. #1. I'll cut off the whole "tip" of the funnel, the part the hose is...

I like to experiment. I just read a post where oxygen in the wort was a "brewing myth". There are LODO's and non LODO's. I'm a very simple person when it comes to trying out stuff for my own research. I overdo it at first, and if it has a noticeable effect I just believe it has an effect even at...

I ferment some of my beers in cornys. I was thinking, is it a bad idea to pressurze the corny with o2 instead of pure co2? Co2 is "poison" to yeast. And yeast needs oxygen.. About it being "to much", one could maybe dillute the co2 to pressurize if you want to ferment under pressure (lagers)...

This is a puzzling thing to me. Sometimes (like now), when I start to drain to the BK, large amounts of air rises up through the mash bed, and basically destroys it. Grains just starts to float around, quite dense, and I get pretty cloudy wort into the BK. I'm using an Infussion MT and a march...

I did a high gravity beer yesterday and diluted it to a target OG after boil. This is my second attempt where my OG is low. I can't figure out why. I use beersmith. I've taken my equipment-profile and copied it and adjusted some numbers for HG-batches. I basically doubled the batch size, and...

This should be straight forward. However, it seems like it's not, for me. For instance, I just copy the "new brewsheet.htm" file which is located in my documents/Beersmith2/reports and paste it, rename it to whatever.htm. I edit that file, go into Beersmith and add it to the reports. It...

I'm looking into brewing high grav, then dillute the post boil wort with tap water into the fermentor. I'm using Bru'n'Water. The only dillution option I can see is RO or Distilled. Can I just adjust the parameters for distilled water in Bru'n'Water to contain the numbers which is in my...

I think I've tried this some years ago, but it didn't work Does anyone know a way of syncing all the data in Beersmith (recipes, equipment, grains, hops, etc) to the cloud on the fly? Without have to do it manually? I feel like I need a backup in case my desktop SSD decides to travel to the...

If so. What are your experiences? (Almost) just for fun I got myself a small pressure cooker the other day, as I'd want to boil some of the wort in it to get some more maillard-reactions without boiling for several hours. The thought of DMS lingers in my mind. My plan for my initial test is to...

I see their website has gotten a revamp. When I click on "Magazine", very top left corner, I'm being directed to a "subscribe to BYO" page. I'm already logged in and my digital subscription expires in feb.

I don't know where to start as to googling this topic. I don't brew with a very wide variety of hops, but this goes especially for Cascade and Columbus. I didn't brew in 2016, and didn't catch the 2015 harvest before I took a pause. Last year I got some really terrible Columbus hops, used...

I have an imp stout in the fermentor. I'd like to dillute half of it so I can enter it into both the stout and imp stout category. It will be kegged. How do I go about dilluting it without ruining the dilluted portion?

Is this available somewhere?

So, I recently brewed a beer which is kind of my standard house SH APA-procedure. Except. This time I used MJ M15, instead of us05, and did not dryhop. I used motueka. Last time I brewed with motueka, I got direct lemon and lime from it. So I thought this hop tastes like lemon and lime...

I recently made three batches with 833. They all had this subdued smoked taste to them. If you could translate the flavor into the smell from a fireplace. I've been thinking about if there's anything in my setup, but I don't think it is. I've only had this experience with 833. Have also made...

I currently use a Sestos PID-controller. Works flawlessly, but I'm after a PID where I can program my steps, the SYL2352P (the one for SSR) look like a great investment because of its functions. However, I have a few questions, which I maybe have answered myself, but I'd like some confirmation...

A few years ago I had a problem with my March sucking air into pump. I figured that out as it was air bubbles forming and getting trapped beneath the FB and getting sucked into the pump as the HERMS heated the water. Since then I've put together a new system which has been running flawlessly...

I just tasted an IPA i used a CPF to fill a bottle with. I'm ashamed. I can't give away this to friends. It tastes like it's been bottle carbonated. I pay extreme attention o2 pickup during transfer to keg. Closed loop into a keg which has been full of star san then emptied with pressure. "No"...

Does anyone have any experiences with these regulators? http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/secondary/yh-76s-4-four-gauge-secondary-regulator.html Is this something I will buy once, and not look back? I live in Europe, so if it breaks it's kind of a big deal since I can't...
