So, I'm still pretty new. I have full temp control for my fermenters, and just started brewing some lagers. I had done a couple before with 34/70 at ale temps, and had mixed results. Had a great marzen, and terrible marzen, (diacetyl) and a pilsner that started terrible (diacetyl again), but...

Brewed a hefe yesterday. 50/50 wheat and pale malt, 15 IBU. I did a heavy pitch of wyeast 3068, and am going to ferment at 65F. This, by all accounts keeps the banana flavors low, and helps the clove shine. I have some blackberry puree, and I was originally thinking of doing a blackberry...

So, I got an icemaster g20 a little while ago so that I can start doing some lagers "properly". Done a pils and a couple marzens with 34/70 at ale temps, but everything else has been an ale. My normal process is to fement in primary till I hit FG, then I add sugar to the bottle or keg, rack the...

I know it is a long shot, but does anyone have one for sale?

Hey all, I'm going to be starting a yeast bank in the near future. I'm a newer brewer, and don't have a ton of experience, so I'm looking for recommendations on which yeasts to keep on hand. Here are the styles that I currently make, and the yeast I have for it. I just got a glycol chiller...

Hey all. I am going to start storing frozen yeast, and I want to use a mini fridge to keep my vials in. I know it will get pretty cold, as in it has the capability to freeze pretty hard, but I want to make sure I can get it down to around -20C (-4F). I have some inkbird 308's, and was going to...

Planning my glycol chiller build, and I am having trouble with this part. Is there a clean way to mount the Inkbird 308 type controllers to/in the chiller? I like the functionality of these, and I have two already, so I would like to use them to keep costs down. But, the octopus of cords kills...

Hey all, I really did try to find the answer to this, and I'm sure it is here somewhere, but I can't find it. I have a couple of brews going, and will be filling my first kegs pretty soon. My plan was to prime the kegs, fill, and condition for a few weeks. (Like I do with bottles) I have a...

So I am wanting to start doing some lagers. I don't have a chiller built yet, but the plan is to use 34/70 to ferment at ale temps, (66-70 degrees) keg, and lager in the the fridge. I think quite a few people use basically this technique, and get really good results. I have never done a...

Hey all, Just getting my basement brewery build underway. I'm in the planning/ rough work phase right now. I've got a good general idea of what I am going to do as far as plumbing, electrical, and the actual brew area. I have found that most brewery builds focus on the brewing area. I'd...
