Brewed a batch last night of the muse someone had posted on here. I changed a few things in the recipe. This was my first all grain alchemy said my target OG was 1.067 I was at 1.061 which should be fine. Made a starter a week ago 1L, after a few days it had some krausen then fell. I shook...

I also added nottingham yeast in mine and after three weeks it's almost there. I couldn't help myself I've waited so long and it is way past my expectations! In the future I plan on adding yeast just in case. I think it would be fine if you didn't but could possibly take longer if there's not...

PS Ive done a sour beer and what was on top of my first starter did not appear to be a pellicle and it smelled pretty strong. I dunno could've been fine but didnt look like what most peoples' starters look like

Alright need some advice on a brett starter... using Brett L wyeast, usually don't make starters but Ive switched to all grain and want to start to ensure healthier fermentation and guaranteed fermentation. That said... I tried to make a starter the other day with this using 3/4 cup extra...

Ditto on the alchemy just got it and the iphone app it's pretty cool. You get them on the same network and they will sync all recipes and inventory for you. Pretty handy I'm pumped to have it.

Probably look at adding a nice secondary regulator in the future. Went ahead and order this kit like I wanted at kegconnection with perlicks 525SS: http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=499 Free shipping for halloween woohoo! Saved $33 Also ordered the same analog a419 that TomSD used...

Try to get the grains and hopes he uses in Erics ale. Almighty had some good questions about a mix or if they pitch the bugs seperate. I asked a bunch of those questions when I went to new belgium and went in the foeder aging room but the tour guide had no idea.

Not quite sure every starter I make I pitch all of it, but the wlp belgian sour actually says not to make a starter because the brett thrives better in that environment. I anxious to hear how it goes.... For my folie clone I pitched sacc then after krausen started to settle a few days later I...

The problem is that they all "work on the remaining sugars" at different rates. The thing about pitching a white labs belgian sour is that they have to correct proportions. The sacc will probably take over most of the starter and possibly inhibit another. Not positive but this was my...

I definitely want a secondary regulator but they are upwards of $70 for a 3 line system right? I have to call them about the perlicks... they have this option on their website...

This whole thing is setting my back somewhat so I won't have money to brew fro a few weeks. I do have a hopfather clone that is sitting in secondary waiting to be kegged. I am upgrading all my equipment to get into all grain too. Hopefully I can get a batch brewed next Sunday, but I doubt I can...

Thanks Tom I actually just got on here to clarify that and saw you already did... honestly if it was my fault or if I made more money I probably would've let it go, but $41 is a good amount of money to me! Applied the poly and it is looking good! I'll get some better pics soon. Here's a link to...

I'm only putting three taps in. I don't brew quite enough to keep four going at all times and I didn't want to deal with the air flow issue by packing it too tight. If I decide I want more taps in the future I'll probably build another collar anyway.

Kinda new to posting pics so they are turning out pretty big any suggestions?

Cool I ended up going with TomSD's measurements on 1x8 red oak. Pieces were 36.5" and 19". Came out pretty good just waiting on the poly to dry. Here's a link to my thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ge-7cf-keezer-build-204484/

Here's some of the finish on it...

Ok everyone so after reading a few threads and tired of bottling beer I've decided to make the jump to kegging. I found a GE 7cf freezer on craigslist that was less than a year old and in perfect condition for $100. I think it normally goes for $190 at HD. Immediately took the lid off and the...
