I have still not quite figured out how to read the "remaining co2" part of the co2 regulator I purchased. I've got a full Keg already carbonated I need to dispense for a party today. Can anyone take a look and let me know if I need to make a co2 run? New item by Chris Edwards New item by Chris...

So the feet on my Mash & Boil basket have finally called it quits after me having to bend them back into shape every so often. On 2 of them the thin metal of the feet have broken, and the 3rd is on the way out as well. It's rather disappointing that it's only made it through ~20-30 brews, but I...

I really don't know what you can do with a finished product besides drinking it so fast you cant taste too much. Is there a reason you used a secondary? You want to minimize air pick-up during racking, filtration and packaging because oxygen causes alpha-acetolactate in beer to convert to...

Thank you! This is he honest answer I was hoping for. I figured as much since like I said no one seems to mention how it tastes just that you can.

Saw a bag of cracked corn at 12$ for 50lb (https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-cracked-corn-50-lb), and I couldn't help but see if I could use it for brewing. My local brew shops sell their flaked corn for ~2$ a pound so .24 cents a pound makes it so I cant not look further...

That's what I was about to say I use S-04 in everything from beer to mead and I've never had sulfur from it. I would for sure try it out at a higher temp.

Pre-carbonation results are in! Ended up fermenting at 75F and rose up to 80 at the end of fermentation. Thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn I had to go out of state for a few days, so it had to sit at around 65-70 while I was out of town. Dry hopped at that temp for 2 days and bottled yesterday. Ended up...

OP can you share the recipe you're planning on making with the Malto Dextrin?

I've been using the same setup during the warmer months, and I've had pretty good success with it. Just be sure to keep the beer in the dark so it doesnt skunk

Infections are scary, but I'd like to tell you a story. One beautiful sunny brew day me and my brew partner spent a lot of time and money on a beautiful batch of beer. We also enjoyed our previous batch while doing so.... My brew partner ended up dropping the garden hose in the wort on accident...

I love my tilt, and would buy another one in a heartbeat if mine broke or something. It's far from perfect, but it's still the best way for me to get a temp and gravity reading without opening the fermenter. Just like Vike said it's best for knowing once gravity has stopped changing, so I always...

The problem is I don't have a fermentation fridge, and while I've made some killer lagers with W34/70 at around 64F it's about to be warm weather. Currently I'm putting the fermenter in a big bucket full of water, and dosing with ice to keep the beer at 64F. It'd be nice to have a yeast that can...

After searching around forums I came across this reddit post: "I'm happy with it in my 1045 og pale ale dry hopped with Citra and Sabro. Fermented at 30c(85f) to start with and took the temp down slowly to 25c(77f). Tastes very much like what I'd get with us-05 but maybe a touch cleaner. Pretty...

I picked up some Lutra in hopes of making some pseudo-lagers this summer, but I've also seen that people recommend it for West Coast IPA's. Unfortunately though no one has listed what temperature they fermented at. I'm not sure what temperature I should try out for the WC IPA profile. Omega says...

I've been messing with my NEIPA recipe for a while now constantly mixing up the hops to keep it interesting, and I'm just trying to push that hoppy flavor/aroma to it's limits now. I've been putting a minimum of 4oz in the whirlpool at either 170F or 150 for 20 minutes, and then dry hopping post...

What makes you think you did something wrong? 25g of cascade is going to have to do a lot of work to stand up to a 20Lt Munich SMaSH, and 10g at 15 is certainly not too much. Cascade is citrusy, so I'd think if you are getting citrus from your beer that'd be a good thing right? You say it tastes...

😁 to be honest I use plastic fermonsters because I'm cheap. I hope someone else can give their opinion. I had just seen that black stuff enough times on the forums to figure that was likely the issue.

Hey man don't get disheartened my dumb self had to throw out the first few batches. Now I can pick just about any style of beer and get it mostly right on the first try.

Yeah I will have to agree with Dgallo on that one. Dealing with loose hops is totally worth the extra flavor contribution. I use a bouncer/in-line filter I picked up off amazon super handy for a heavy dry hopped beer.
