    Oatmeal Not Converting

    I've made several Oatmeal Stouts using grocery store oatmeal and never had a problem with hitting my projected OG. I spread the oatmeal out on a cookie sheet and roast it at 300 degrees for 15 minutes, add it to my mash and it's always been fine. I have read that all oatmeal is made by steaming...

Flaked Wheat 1.6 SR .6 oz East Kent Goldings (60 minutes boil) .75 oz Coriander Seeds crushed (5 minutes boil) .75 oz Bitter Orange Peal (5 minutes boil) WY 3068 It's a little over 24 hours since I pitched...

    Brew Day pH results

    I brewed a Wit beer today based of Brad Smith’s recipe. Brad’s is a 10 gallon, I reduced it to 5 gallons, reduced the IBUs and used WY 3068. Other than that, I followed his recipe pretty close. Below is the data. I don’t know if there is anything useful in it, but never-the-less here it is...

    lactic acid or phosphoric acid?

    This is my first time adding acid to my mash. It’s a Blonde Ale, the recipe and MME numbers are attached. Is 7.08 ml a lot of lactic acid for an 8 gallon BIAB full volume mash for a 5 gallon batch? Am I going to get a sour taste? At what point should I consider using phosphoric acid? This...

    Bru’n Water, am a doing this correct?

    I used the data from the Fort Worth utilities web site for my existing water profile. The latest data is from 2016 and its spread across a large are so the accuracy is probably poor. The grain bill is for a Blond Ale 5 gallons batch BIAB 8 gallons mash 1.53 OG 20.2 IBU 5.8% ABV 3.9 SRM Bru’n...

    I forgot to purge the air before I force carbonated

    I made a Chocolate Porter and everything was going too good. I hit my OG and FG within a point or two. There was more trub than I expected so I only got about 4.5 gallons in the keg, but only .25 gallons short of target. I didn’t cold crash so the wort was at 70 degrees. I hooked up the Co2 and...

    Does harvested slurry behave differently than original?

    Whenever I have used a packet of Nottingham yeast, including the one I harvested from, it takes about 6 to 8 hours till I’m seeing airlock activity. It picks up speed till the airlock is a constant bubbling and continues for two and a half days then slows till it stops by the end of day three...

    Pitched a sloppy slurry 4 days ago

    I made a very light SMaSH, 3.5% using Nottingham yeast and saved the slurry. When I ran the boiled wort through a CFC I let it drain into my fermenter through a 200 micron filter shown below: After 2 weeks in the fermenter I transferred it to a keg and left 1/2” of beer behind. I swereled the...

    Is this Brew Bag too coarse a mesh?

    I bought this at a LHBS. It seems to be quite a bit coarser mesh than the one I made out of voile curtain material. I sold that one along with the rest of my brewing stuff when I moved. This bag is plenty tough and well constructed. Do you think this material is too coarse? The 3 brews I have...

    Is double crush a waste of time?

    Yesterday I bought yeast, hops and grains for two different beers that I am going to brew. I asked for a double crush because they don’t do a fine crush. Am I wasting everyone’s time asking for this? Every time I buy grains at this store I get an eye roll or a hesitation on the double crush...

    Equipement for building a Kegerator

    Hello, new to the site. After a long move in which I sold all of my brewing and kegging equipement, I’m now ready to rebuild. I found some conversion kits at a good price plus free shipping but I am not familiar with the seller. They are “Keg Equipement”...
