Has anyone tried putting pancakes in their mash? If so, did it produce any pancake flavor?

I had always read to boil lactose with some water before adding it to secondary/keg.. but ive done it twice now, and once it cools it becomes as hard as a rock! Am i doing something wrong?

so, wondering if anyone has run into this before... I am in my garage (door open) with my propane tank and bayou burner. I have used this burner for a couple of years now, but something strange happened today. I have just mashed in, and I turned off my propane flame (I only turned the flame...

Ok so i might be reaching for a unicorn here, but I'm looking for a pump that can be used both for my cip and for brew operations.. hot liquor, wort, finished beer.. and i want to spend around $400 or maybe less. I am at 10gal brews now, but very soon i will be at 60gal. If i should get two...

Ok so ive read a few posts on this and I thought i understood how top do this.. i have a frigidare 5000btu unit listed here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W2KG92Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_O80lDbFBZKGTS I took off the cover and moved the copper temperature sensor out. I bought a night light...

I zested 3 organic limes and three key limes and covered with vodka. I haven't tasted yet, but this doesn't look good. Is this normal?

For those of you who have built kegerators, did you secure the gas and liquid lines to the inside of the collar and what did you do?

For those of you who have non-brewing related jobs, how much do you think about brewing at work?

so i made the mistake of trying the no chill method with the fermonster... it didnt end well (see attached image) after about a gallon i noticed this and transferred the rest into my white bucket and then poured what was in the fermonster into the bucket as well. it didnt melt any holes...

If I want to add multiple adjuncts, say cocoa nibs and chipotles or bacon or vanilla or whatever.. For a single beer, should I make a single tincture for all, or should I make multiple tinctures and keep them separate?

So the background is I tried whirlpooling and it didn't quite work.. I ended up leaving more wort in the kettle than I wanted and my og was 8 points off (target 1.060, actual 1.052) I want to bring that up to target. I know I need about 1lb of dme, but I'm worried about giving it too much body...

I am daydreaming again... but, if I wanted to do BIAB on a commercial scale, and I had 1 (or several) bags hanging that I wanted to squeeze, and I wanted to create a squeezing mechanism (a gigantic rubber band? a cinch? not sure), how much pressure could I apply before I would split/break the bag?

First time kegger, wondering if ive ruined my beer.... So ive been using the auto siphon for a while, and yesterday im starting the auto siphon and it seems to move beer on the initial pump but the flow is not working.. so I have to pump it a LOT to get all of the beer moved from the bucket...

So I brewed this Black IPA sunday that called for 8oz of dextrose in the boil - however I have also read that adding it after primary fermentation is finished can help reach a better attenuation level... so I left it out for now. I am planning to add it after a few days (5? 10?) with the dry hop...

So this is probably a dumb question but something I can't get my head around.. If I bottle condition, I want a little yeast in there to carb.. But if I cold crash, aren't I dropping the yeast out of suspension, and (i guess?) out of what would go into the bottle?

Heres my scenario: day 1, Pitch two packs of s-33 in an imperial milk stout (1.094 og) day 11-13, gravity readings, shaking and warming told me yeast was toast at 1.054. pitch fresh pack of s-05 on day 13. airlock activity 12 hours later. day 18 airlock activity has stopped. my plan is/was...

I have an imperial stout that after 10 days has only gone from 1.094 to 1.054. It had been in an inkbird controlled chest freezer @ 64 degrees. I took it out, shook it and put it in a closet where it is now warming up to probably around 70 degrees. Is that going to get the yeast going again or...

When I held the set button down for three seconds as per instructions, nothing happened. It didn't seem to matter if it was heating, cooling, blinking or normal. The manual also said I should see the "set indicator" light come on, but I don't even know where that is.. ?

I am strongly considering brewing an imperial stout my next go (may 20th). I have been searching and have found an overwhelming number of recipes.. What has been your favorite, and can you post the recipe? I am partial to the chocolatey ones (Foothills Sexual Chocolate, Southern Tier...
