    For Sale Small Batch Equipment - Very Gently USED -- SFV/SO CAL

    I’m in Inland Empire area. Let me know if you still have the SS MINI bucket and the mill. I’m interested in both.

    Maximizing Dry Hop Aroma

    Yes, absolutely should clarify. Not air dry as in I walk away and wait for hours until it is purely dry. Merely removed from solution into a sterilized mason jar to transfer hops into.

    Duofiller?

    Beer gun was a nightmare for me. I have the blichmann beer gun and it was an awful experience all the way around. Leaks in the handle, replaced the unit twice, and all it did was leak like a sieve. I only use it for the CO2 if I am filling from the tap lol. I use oddly enough the kegland in line...

    Maximizing Dry Hop Aroma

    You can also do multiple muslin bags. Do like 1 or 2 ounce increments per bag. You just need to have SUPER on point sanitation. Boil the bags for 10 minutes, let them sit in star san, and air dry. Use ethanol based sanitizer for your hands. The level of sanitation I go is probably beyond extra...

    Duofiller?

    1. A catch tray for the beers as it drips between cans. I purchased my own drip tray to go under the unit but honestly it would be better it was all included in one solid unit. Since both the Duofiller and the Cannular Can filler both need to be bolted down, most likely to a wall it would be...

    Maximizing Dry Hop Aroma

    Definitely second that. Also look at adding a larger hop charge at the end of fermentation. Or if you have the capabilities to control fermentation then go ahead and crash to 50F and dry hop there. That helps keep the aroma in the beer as well.

    What I did for beer today

    Hazy IPA ended up with less aroma than I wanted. Went a ahead and added 4 ounces of hops to the keg. We will see how the aroma goes.

    Letting the wort "settle" after cooling?

    You would still want it to settle with a light whirlpool action and then stop to let it settle and cone up in the center. If you dont it will likely cog eventually unless you are using hop spiders for heavy hopped beers and what not. I do that personally to avoid any issues, but to each their own.

    Too high of a pressure?

    The pressure isn't too terrible for the yeast. You can go pretty high rates before any significant issues happen. A lot of breweries maintain ~28psi pressure on their lagers. I have tried that before in the past with a few lagers as well with great success. Of course I had to plan and severely...

    Stalled fermentation

    I have used Omegas hazy yeasts. They typically end on the higher end. Albeit this higher than I have experienced. Im sure the act of you mashing at 168 and cooling down likely made plenty of long chain sugars that was hard for the yeast to break down. You can always rouse the yeast see if it...

    Hi everyone and need brewing suggestions

    For me it depends what I am trying to do with the cherries. I have added them in the last 5 minutes of the boil to great success as far as aroma and light cherry flavors. I have pasturized the cherries before as well, which requires a double broiler and you basically mash the cherries and heat...
