The thing is I'm not sure if I had problems, but I have had batches that did not taste that good and want to learn if oxidation was a contriubtor to them. I've been ignorantly blaming it on oxidation, but could really have been something else, like underpitching, temperature etc. I guess I...

@Pappers_ I'm not quite sure how I will do it yet, but might just go with cold crash and gelatin. I think I will bottle straight from fermentor with priming sugars inside the bottles, just to minimize oxidation risk. If it works, great, if it doesnt, atleast i know, and being a pale ale...

Does gelatin work only with cold temperature or can I add gelatine and just bottle after a few days without cold crashing?

I have a pale ale in the fermentor and planning to cold crash it after fermentation is over and then add gelatin for the first time, before bottling. I'm curious if this will be a problem with oxidation. First of all I need to cold crash and I understand that it will cause pressure; so when I...

Ok, thanks. I just took the advice from this artcile https://www.homebrewtalk.com/lagering-101-need-know-making-lagers.html , where it says to keep it 2 days at 65f, but i started to cool it down already. My plan is to cool it to 60f first and then down to 50f, probably over the coming night.

Looks normal to me, no need to scoop it or anything. Just let it be and it will sink to the bottom when fermentatuin is over.

Yesterday i brewed my first ever lager, I'ts a maibock and I got an OG of 1.070. Prior to brewday I made a 2l yeast starter and I used one smack pack of wyest 2124 (bohemian lager). Only 5-6 hours after pitching the airlock had activity. Now I have read that when makeing a lager you need to...

Thanks for the advice, I guess i'm going to try the product I have, probably wont hurt the beer. The instruction are pretty forward and will create a solid sediment that falls to the bottom. Won't be needing it in a few weeks though.

What if you're going to bottle condition, do you need to transfer to secondary and then use the gelatin and what's is the difference between liquid gelatin and the powder form? I just bought that product so i need to use it, maybe I just use the gelatine I dunno yet.

Vinoferm Klarvit is a product that use 2 liquid components (kieselsol and gelatine). I searched the internet for reviews, but did not find any. I'm just interestend what kieselsol and gelatine does and why would they work together? If anyone can share anything about this, that would be much...

Cool, thanks. How effective is it, do you get to over 80F?

Where I live we only have few hombrew shops in the country and they only have the 25w one, 40w sounds good though.

No it's a medium sized chest freezer. I have been reading threads, but I just wanted opinions on the 25w pad and i guess it's a bit small. I read some information from reviews and seems that it's not intended to heat it up so much. But i guess i'm going to run with this system, it produces fair...

My space heater turns off, well it's on, but the heating and the fan are not working and after maybe 30min it turns on again for a few minutes. I have gotten the temperature to rise for a beer im fermenting atm from 64 to 68 in about 6-8h, so it works but i'm not so happy with this solution. I...

Hello! I use a chest freezer that is connected to an inkbird as my fermentation chamber and I'm looking to add a heating source to it. Today I bought a small electrical heater, but the safety is over sensitive and turns it off after just two-three minutes inside the chamber because of over...
