Brewed, fermented, and lagered a Shiner Bock clone all-grain kit per recipe kit instructions. Bottled and primed using Buckrider Bottle Shots and used one tab per 12 oz bottle per instructions and bottle conditioned for 4 weeks per the instructions. The beer tastes great, but it's flat. I'm...

Brewed a double batch of NB's Caribou Slobber a few days ago and the yeast was Lalbrew Windsor, which I knew from another post on the forum here was a really fast yeast. It was quite active for about 36 hours and flatlined after that (according to the Tilt). Shows as 4.33% ABV which is close to...

Just brewed my first ever batch on 7/11 and it's in the fermenter now. It's a Shiner Bock clone recipe kit from AHB. The kit recommends pitching at something under 80, slowly reducing temp to 50-55F for 10 days, diacetyl rest at 60-70F for 2 days, then transfering to secondary to lager at 40F...

Any reason I couldn't pump hot wort after boil into the fermenter that is equipped with glycol chiller and do the wort chill in the fermenter?

Any recommendation for a summer beer that can be made quickly that would go with a lemon or lime zest addition? Thanks in advance

I'm planning on adding a second fermenter to the inventory. The first one is the GF with built-in cooling jacket and controller. My chiller is supposed to be able to handle 4 units. I'd like to add another stainless conical. I was thinking about drilling the sides and welding in a stainless wort...

Anybody ever make their first batch and it turned out so good they didn't change anything and that's all they ever made and they were happy ever after? .....and I just received my first grain kit today (Caribou Slobber). Finishing my enclosure on the back deck and I'll be in business

Just setting system up now. Using Brewzilla 35L. I bought a NB Hullwrecker mill that goes down to 0.025" gap. If I mill down to minimum gap, am I asking for trouble with clogging the lower screen? Thanks in advance

For electric all grain systems, seems there is always a recirculation pump, which makes sense to me, but no talk of using the pump to transfer wort to the fermenter. Any idea why not or have I not looked at enough systems and some do?

I like to go into projects full-speed, so needless to say my projects can be expensive. If I start to home brew, in a perfect world, I'd like to have the gear I'll use to the bitter end. Leads to question, 1. Is top-notch gear re-sellable without losing excessive value? May sound morbid, but if...

Name's David. Pondering starting a system so in a search I came across this forum. I love doing things myself and add to that I can't find my favorite beer anywhere around here. Still have a lot of research to do but looking at a BIAB system with controlled brew system and controlled fermenter...
