    Treehouse Human Condition Clone

    Wondering if the lactose gave you a thicker mouthfeel as that's the biggest missing piece I find with GF stouts is that they're always super thin mouthfeel.

    Sapporo Inspired Ale

    Gotta say it's been over a decade since I had a Sapporo. How close do you think you got to the flavor profile?

    How to wire 240 to an L6-30 receptacle?

    Or you could just get a L14-30R installed and buy an adapter from L14-30P to L6-30R like this one Amazon.com: Parkworld 886368 Adapter Cord NEMA 14-30P Male to L6-30R Female, 30A, 250V, 1.5 Feet : Electronics. At least I hope you can do this as that’s what I just got installed because I want to...

    Munich Dunkel Lager

    You want to do a diacytl rest at the tail end of fermentation and take it to around 66F for a couple of days. After that I would bottle and "lager" for as long as you can resist cracking them open at mid 30's. As mentioned above many people warm ferment lagers and especially W34/70 so you...

    Completed Brew Room

    Where’d you get that stainless shelf? I just installed a stainless sink and I’m looking for something exactly like those shelves you’ve got on the right side.

    Gluten Free Equivalent to Pilsner and Marris Otter

    Blasphemy!!! LOL I use half Vienna millet and half Munich millet base in my Vienna Lager and it makes an amazing beer. FYI the ZT wiki has collated a bunch of the GFHB flavor profiles as well as a bunch of other stuff - Zero Tolerance Gluten Free Homebrew Club. Flavor profile is under...

    Chocolate Oatmeal Stout

    FWIW that's a really old recipe and in gluten free brewing that really makes a huge difference. A good trick on the GFHB website for recipes is to look in the URL for "recipeid=***" with the *** a number based on when it was posted. For instance that double chocolate oatmeal stout is...

    Vienna Lager

    Nice! I just tapped my Vienna Lager and it is Amazing!!!

    Vienna Lager

    With your grain bill it’s going to be a pretty light colored lager and not quite BJCP range color for a Vienna lager. If you use a recipe tool like Brewers Ftiend or Beersmith it should give you an expected SRM. Also not shilling for these products but a Tilt hydrometer is one of the best...

    Vienna Lager

    Yes these fermonsters seem to do this frequently. I have the same thing happen when using with a brew jacket. You may want to check the lid gasket next brew and also I bought the lid tool as well.

    Vienna Lager

    Here's a nice YouTube video that Brian from GFHB did a few years ago for reference. I'd recommend not removing the bolt head though as that seems unnecessary with a socket drill adapter. I believe I bought the bolt and drill to socket adapter at Home Depot. Pretty sure the bolt size is...

    Vienna Lager

    I have the same type of corona mill that you're using. What I did was bought a big bolt which screws right into that mill and then used a 13mm socket and a drill bit that converts to a socket attachment. Then I bought a cheapo Harbor Freight drill and now I've got an electric mill. This is a...

    Vienna Lager

    Are you milling by hand? Oh my I tried that once and never again :)

    Bitter Sorghum taste

    If you have access to grains from Grouse or Eckert I highly recommend steeping some of those milled grains to enhance flavor profiles in your beer. You could just get a grain bag and steep for 30 minutes and it will definitely make a difference. If not then try using those citrus hops as...

    RIMS Tube Stand & Mash Tun Mod

    Yes silicone tubing and I'm happy with the time it takes to ramp up so I'll skip additional insulation on my system. FWIW here's an old thread talking about RIMS tube insulation: Insulate your RIMS tube?

    RIMS Tube Stand & Mash Tun Mod

    I haven't touched it yet LOL. I've honestly watched a ton of RIMS tube videos and have yet to see one insulated. I guess you could do that if necessary. Really I think the main point of heat loss is the tubing between RIMS tube/pump/tun. I plan on shortening those up as much as possible to...

    RIMS Tube Stand & Mash Tun Mod

    Check out this calculator https://manskirtbrewing.com/calculators.aspx. For me doing 5 gallon batches and typically mashing with 4-5 gallons it takes around 30 minutes. Now it's winter and I just got this system. I live in Seattle where my garage is probably around 50F. Using that calculator...
