Selling all my brewing stuff after 1 use. I thought I would have time to get back into my hobby but not entirely the case. So up for grabs are the following: Grainfather G30 110V all in one system with all necessary attachments to include the counter flow chiller. Works amazing andonly used...

Question regarding bottle conditioning as I haven’t done it in over 2 years. I have my experimental Dunkel ale that I bottled Monday and decided to check the process and so far carbonation looks like it’s going well no volcanos and such. However I noticed a small sulfur taste to is. Everything...

I made multiple batches and none did. I didn’t smell it though

Just bought this one 3 weeks ago so idk

Last night during bottling I had my caps sitting in a small plastic bowl with sanitizer and my wife mentioned a weird smell described it as rotten eggs. Mind you this was 3/4 of the way through the bottling. The beer smelled fine and looked fine but does star San interact weird with some plastics?

I will tomorrow didn’t have time to dig kids stuff out of one tonight

So little update on this adventure. Bottled the beer today, I know lame who still bottles lol. The color is a tad darker than I expected it to be. The aroma is good a little sweet. Taste well warm and mixed with the priming sugar was hard to get a good taste but nothing harsh or off. So now to...

Oh he is most definitely part of the family.

Kinda how I feel about it. He just jumps on top of the lid every once and awhile

Hey odd ass question but I recently got back into brewing and my family adopted a cat not long ago. The cat loves getting onto things, to include my Anvil crucible. So how much could this end up effecting beers if at all. I’m switching up to a glycol setup soon but but concerned that something...

sorry it will be around 66-68

So drawing up a belgian blond with 11# pils, 0.5# aromatic and 2# candi sugar clear. East kent goldings 1oz at 60 min and 1 oz at 10 min. Yeast is lellamand abbye ale 2 packets. Mash at 150 with a mash out at 167. 60 min boil. System is the Grainfather G30 110v

so I have yet to have any temp control for fermentation. Best I was able to do is hope and pray the house didn’t get warm.

If you had to choose between starting to can beers or having a glycol chiller for temp control which would you pick and why? I am looking at getting either the brewbuilt glycol chiller or the cannular top can seamer. Any advice would be great.

I guess that's a good thing. lol I feel like a fool for no looking into my recipe better but thats what happens when excitement over runs

Yeah that’s kinda I feel. I think I said Dunkel and it was automatically that idea of a dunkelweisse. I’m gunna let it run it’s course and check it out. Someone said it could be a dampfbier idea so maybe

I used Munich classic though that’s the issue lol

Ok so I haven’t brewed in 6 months due to having a child, buying a house, dropping my claw hammer and breaking it. So I bought a Grainfather as a Christmas gift to myself. I have wanted to brew a Dunkel for awhile just have no way to control my fermentation temp. So I reached out to my LHBS for...

So brewed a clone of Allagash’s Tripel using WLP500 for my yeast. Used 2 packs made a 1 liter starter. Fermented at room temperature between 68-72 within the parameters. Around the first week to 10 days the smell when pulling a sample was pleasant with some fruit and bubblegum like aromas. But...
