    Check Valve Opening Pressure Question

    I recently installed check valves in my gas lines after an accident that almost cause beer to go into my CO2 regulator. Now I am carbonating the first beer after installing them and I am finding my beers undercarbonated. Kegland says the check valves has a opening pressure of 1PSI, does this...

    Wyeast 1084 at high temps

    Anyone with experience with 1084 (Irish Ale) at high temperatures? I had a bunch of issues during my brew day that end up pitching the yeast at 23C (73F) and fermentation when most of the time at 20C(68F). Anyone had any experience with that yeast at high temperatures? What should I expect? The...

    How to use TSP (Trisodium Phosphate)?

    I bought TSP (Trisodium phosphate) to clean my new fermenter but now I have approx. 1kg (LHBS didn't have smaller packages) of this stuff around. Now I am trying to figure out a way to fit TSP in my cleaning routine. Can I use TSP as a detergent when cleaning my equipment? There is any...

    Water Treatment with tap water

    I am not in the US, so no Walmart. :( As for RO waste, I don't think I would be able to use it all, by my calculations for a 20L batch I would have 100L or more of waste water. That's simple too much, I don't have use for all that.

    Water Treatment with tap water

    I am new in the water treatment for brewing. So not sure what would be narrow ranges, this are the values I have: <min> - <avg> - <max> Calcium: 38.27 - 40.55 - 43.8 Magnesium: 7.83 - 8.95 - 9.91 Sodium: 57.5 - 66.4 - 77.6 Chloride: 83 - 93 - 105 Sulfate: 40 - 46 - 52 Carbonate: 147 - 153 - 156

    Water Treatment with tap water

    My water provider give the water analysis every quarter with minimum/average/maximum of every item needed for brewing. I input the average into BrewFather but never added any salts. Since RO filters are not an option as they have too much waste and distilled water is a lot of work (local...

    Baltic Porter

    Yes, I did. The original recipe was with D-90 but both my LHBS didn't have them on stock only the clear candi sugar in rocks.

    Baltic Porter

    Cool. I'll try that, not sure if I'll manage to do 10L because my smallest fermenter is 10L total, so I'll probably do 8L or so.

    Baltic Porter

    I don't think I've ever drank a traditional Baltic Porter. The ones available to me are mostly from Pohjala and some local breweries.

    Baltic Porter

    Yeah, I know! I have my fair share of high gravity ales (Double/Triple IPAs, Belgian Tripel, Stouts, etc..) but lager is my first one. The profile of WY2633 yeast got my attention that's why I want to use it, one tactic I used before in high gravity ales with success is pitching a neutral more...

    Baltic Porter

    Interesting. I'll consider that, but I would like to get the baltic porter fermenting over the winter to take advantage of the cold weather, especially for lagering.

    Baltic Porter

    Recently I got addicted to Baltic Porter so I decided to make one. It will be my first lager, so I'll try to take advantage of the cold weather in the winter to brew this one. I have a semi temperature controlled fermenter (conical fermenter with heating + ice bucket with pump and coil) that...

    Duvida Brow Ale e sensibilidade dos maltes

    Adiciona o malte durante a lavagem dos grãos, melhor coisa pra extrair cor sem adicionar muito sabor. Enviado de meu SM-G935F usando Tapatalk

    Fermentador muito grande

    É isso que o amigo falou aí em cima. Detalha o processo pra gente e se puder adquirir um equipamento pra 10L~20L,é a melhor pedida no momento. Eu tenho um equipamento de 80L e um de 10L, testo as receitas no de 10L até deixar ela Redonda e só depois disso passo a fazer Ela No de 80L...

    Informações sobre a levedura TECKBREW

    Infelizmente não tenho o equipamento nem o conhecimento, então só me resta acreditar no fabricante. Você já fez? Qual foi o resultado? Enviado de meu SM-G935F usando Tapatalk

    Informações sobre a levedura TECKBREW

    Pode usar sem medo. Tenho uns amigos usando e falando muito bem das leveduras da levtek, a vantagem sobre a Bio4 é que a Teckbrew vem com 200bilhoes de células, mais fácil pra propagar e tem uma viabilidade bem melhor sem starter. Se precisar dos arquivos do beersmith, no site da levtek vc...

    Airlock Sterilock. Alguém já usou?

    O gás gerado na fermentação é CO2, o mesmo gerado na refermentacao, entao, não tem problema. Máximo que acontece é a cerveja já sair com um pouco mais de gás do que o normal. Enviado de meu SM-G935F usando Tapatalk
