I started a batch yesterday. Is the malic acid necessary?

What yeast, what temp did you ferment at? 3 days of heavy fermentation with a lot activity doesn't seem to be far off on a light blonde ale. I have made several centennial blondes that had a similar schedule.

I do not own any new kegs but I am not sure the attraction. I own 8 used cornys and my kegs reside in my chest freezer. They function properly and vary in appearance. Outside of showing the new aesthetics I am unsure of what upgrade a "new" keg offers.... I am satisfied with used and will...

Welcome to the club :) You need to place the end of the line in boiling water. At the same time, I used a flaring tool that was heated with a heat gun and mated the two together to stretch out the lines. You may need to do this several times and add some oil/grease to your flaring tool to...

^^^^^^^ Thanks for the feedback on the taps and setup! I have thought about tightening the tap wobble in the manner you describe however its the far left tap that I added a lot of insulation in close proximity that I am unable to get my hand in to tighten sufficiently! Glad to hear about the...

I copied your design of the box (airflow) as well as ran the piping higher to help distribute the cold airflow. Works awesome! Thanks for the guidance!

On my last 5 gallon I went with Nilos 12 and I used .5oz of coriander and 3oz of OP. I think I had some room to add slightly more coriander but this batch was almost spot onto Blue Moon. Its the only beer that I will start making 10gallon batches of due to popularity.

I went with poplar and created the fron front dispensing area. I scored the 5x15 drip tray and built the poplar holder around to match the area around the perlicks. I finished it off with some nice backsplash and purchased the black board contact paper and framed that in to give it a finished...

I had to cut through a stud in the wall to get the box/taps to fit in the location I wanted. I used 3M adhesive spray to attach the insulation to the collar and wood in the box. One slight mistake was attaching the shanks to the insulation instead of the wall. The taps are firm but not 100%...

After reading hundreds of keezer builds and several that specifically targeted running taps and lines through the wall I finally planned and built a keezer. I found a few threads/posts on this site and I was able to make a few adaptations to fit my build! Start of the keezer build! I went...

Agreed knowing what I put in my 5gallon batch I would suggest 6ozs of OP in a 10 gallon.

Agreed... Very easy to gap and does a good job milling my grains...

Just tapped Nilo #12 at a birthday party last weekend and everyone said it was better than Blue Moon! This is definitely one of those beers that will be a staple on tap! Thanks again for a great recipe! The only comment I have is my corn starch gelatanized in the bottom of the kettle but...

I wanted to update everyone on the thread with my credit card issue. I met with my bank credit theft department and we were 100% able to determine this was not caused by my transaction through Midwest. I will admit when I was on vacation and had my card shut off and viewed this thread it...

I had the same issue on Friday. I am on vacation and went to use my card and was told it declined. Shortly thereafter my bank called and said my account had been compromised. They were unable to determine what caused the issue but I recently placed an order through Midwest.

Same here! 3 had the relief and 1 was static! All are holding pressures and look better than others I have normally paid double and triple for as well!

Same here! I bought this a month ago and think its a great mill for the price!

Just finished my second batch! This will be a staple in my rotation! 4086+6= 4092

Thanks! I have a keggle and I believe this will be my method. Are you rinsing with cold or warm water?

What size kettle are you using? I BIAB and want to move to ten gallon batches on tried and true recipes as well!
