Is there any detriment to lagering for say 5-6 months? I want to brew some lagers/pilsners in the fall and let them sit in my ferm chamber over the winter.

I don't think it's infected but just some co2 coming up through a thick, cocoa infused crausen. Thoughts?

Can't argue with citra!!

Apologies if this is somewhere else in this forum ; Anyone make 5 gal of 1.04 OG wort from DME and pitch their starter into it in order to grow a large quantity of yeast? Basically, I'd like to gather a large quantity of a strain so that I don't have to overgrow my starter and save some yeast...

Anything wrong with using an 8 cu/f chest freezer as a glycol chiller since that's what I already have? I suppose the cost of glycol would be pretty huge but imagine the cooling power to be pretty great? I'm currently using the spike flex+ directly in the freezer. Any benefit to having the...

Damn. Wish I had the space and 3k kicking around.

Awesome! I'm in !

That is a gorgeous setup!

Just what I'm looking for! Fancy a road trip to Canada?? :)

Anybody here have experience with more powerful pumps? Ie 1hp? Wanna know what I'm getting into

7774 + 34 Gal of mostly IPA and a YOLO pale ale (totally winged the recipe and hop schedule, was a delicious brew) =7808
