I put frozen fruit(blackberry, raspberry and blueberry medley) in the fermenter and I assume some wild yeast got in from the fruit. I now have a fruited sour. Definitely a film on the top and to me it does not look like yeast rafts. Let me know your thoughts, please.

I really need one. I have 3 different thermometers and they all read different. I ordered a new one from overseas but it never arrived. Go figure.

If this is not already bottled, can't one just make a hop tea for a bitterness addition?

I knew this before when I was researching BIAB. I had never continuously went back to squeezing that late after the mash before. No but I do plan on entering this in a competition so I guess I will see what feedback comes back from the judges. This is the first time I have brewed with rye.

I have brewed many beers but this is a first. This is only the 2nd beer I have kegged. I poured my first one and the beer smells like grain. It tastes fine. Rye Pale Ale The only thing that I can think would have caused this was how much I squeezed the BIAB bag. I squeezed it several times...

I have built my keezer. I cannot accurately dial in the temp with just the freezer dial alone. I do have a temp controller that I can add. Should I leave the freezer temp dial as close to the desired temp I want when hooking up the temp controller or should I just crank it freezer dial and...

Hard to say since its a dark beer to see the haze. It's been sitting in the primary for 1 month. I have heard the yeast stays in suspension longer so maybe it is that. Thanks for your comments. I will let it bottle condition and sit for a while.

So I brewed a Munich Dunkel. It has a tangy after flavor. this is not necessarily a bad flavor just different than I was expecting. I used German Pilsner and Munich malts with a little of chocolate malt and carafa II. The yeast I used was a Wyeast 1007 German Ale. I realize this was not...

Anyone have any experience with these knockoffs? They look good and the price is great. What do you think could be the downsides? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5338413729&icep_item=264070451073

Me too. Count me in. USA

I have one and use it often. It works great. I have it mounted to the wall for fermenting but on brew day, I bring it upstairs with me to clean and sanitize. It sits almost perfect in my 6.5 gal bucket with the collection ball attached. So I use my wort chiller with my kitchen sink and...

I have a dunkel going now but will be doing a roggenbier right after using the same yeast. Couldn't I just rack off the dunkel and pour fresh wort right on the trub/yeast cake? Any drawbacks to that?

Consider your access needs for your CO2 tank as well. Most kegerators have them mounted on the back but I realize you could have it elsewhere.

I am trying to get a routine going and these HBT threads keeps making me rethink my whole process :)
