I think i watched a beer smith podcast with chris white about pressure fermentation like last year maybe. They were talking about traditional lagering vs pressure fermenting at around room temp. Basically they said you can make a lager quicker by pressure fermenting i think and depending on the...

Ah yeah. I dont like having an empty ferment chamber... I still want to try no chill one of these days. i should have done that with my brown ale i just brewed. Oh well maybe ill try it with my next non hoppy beer. Cheers, happy halloween

Dude what i just started doing is refrigerating a lot of tap water since i have more refrigerator space than freezer space. I have a 5 gallon water bottle and then use a bunch of gallon bottles. We use gallon jugs for babys formula milk so i have plenty. Even used a keg full of water once. I...

I already have a chiller and stuff in the top so my lid doesnt fit on my kettle very good anyway but itll keep some stuff out. Thats crazy about the water incident. Thats why i put two hose clamps on each end of my chiller. Dont want to take any chances

Well bending stainless isnt very easy unless you have a tubing bender. Idk if im going to try it. The spincycle on brewhardware has a clip that holds it on the side of the kettle. I just bought a 1/2 inch racking cane on amazon that has a clip on it and is only bent to 90 degrees so ill stick...

Hey has anyone ever built a whirlpool arm? Like a drop in whirlpool tube? I have a 90 degree elbow for whirlpooling but i want to add something to my second outlet hose from my pump. I want to be able to pick it up and stick it in a fermenter to transfer wort also. I prefer stainless. Was...

Awesome man! I didnt get off work in time

I never did either till like this year. I really got my kettles to be perfectly clean and shine by cleaning with pbw then scrubbing with bar keepers friend with a soft cloth (i used paper towels lol) but my kettles havent ever been so clean

I dont believe it. It was 100 here on friday. Remind me never to even visit texas unless its like winter. Also, are you talking about your home brewery? It sounds more like a big brewery. Ive heard texas has hard laws for breweries. Idk i saw it in a documentary once, maybe the laws have changed...

Awesome man! I think i should make it as well. So im going to brew on sunday, the day before. What do you guys think about an amber ale. Projected Og 1.051, srm 14, 39 ibu, 5% abv? Im gonna brew a 10 gallon batch?

Awesome! So im going to try to make both of those if possible. Decembers might be hard for me to make. I can request relief of overtime except the month of december. So how do i join PSB?

Hey guys. I just wanted to say i went to the palmetto state brewers club meeting last night and had a blast! Got to meet some cool people and share some of my beer and got to talk a lot about beer. Drinking beer, meeting brewers and talking beer, almost as good as actually brewing! i guess i...

I always keg carb it. Take it easy though the dry liquid seems to soak up the c02 more quickly than beer. Ive overcarbed it before trying my normal quick carb procedure

Id think it would be fine to reuse the yeast. At least once maybe twice. Probably easier than harvesting and washing and it will probably get going faster since its already built up its colony. The only reason i havent tried this is because the yeast is cheap. Got a 10 pack for like $6 on amazon

Lol nah. I usually dont get drunk just pretty tipsy. I usually drink beer but this stuff is good

Hey everyone. So i made another batch of apfelwein and thought id share my results as its really good! Haha. So i started with somewhere close to 5 gal walmart apple juice and around 2 lbs corn sugar. Used the updated wine yeast formerly known as montrache. Lol and then added a lb of frozen...

Nice! I tried my hand with a herms setup last brew. I bet the rims works a lot better

I always cold crash my beers ever since ive been able to. Although im starting to wonder if the suck back through my air lock is hurting my beer. I tried capping my last batch of mango apfelwein instead of just moving the fermenter with the airlock into my freezer. It probably still sucked in or...

Sounds like a lot of oats to me but ive never brewed a hazy ipa before

Ah ok that sounds good. I meant for the space dust though cuz they are all space named hops
