So.... what #'s do y'all use for manually brewing on the Pico C? I estimated the following: (based on Pico Pro Crafter https://picobrew.com/Z_Crafter/Z_BiB.cshtml) Brew-house efficiency: 50% Hop utilization: ~35% of normal utilization (3.5%-14% range, this is terrible) Do you all design the...

Yea, I have no idea either, some people say use a coffee filter, but I'd think that could reduce the flavor as well... well like every homebrew it will be an experiment right?

I'm just saying, it's not being sanitized, that's a fact. If you're beer still came out great, cheers. I'm just not going to risk it. There's safer methods that get just as good if not better results. Also whole beans could extract oils into the beer reducing head retention. I don't see a...

Even if the brew was 8% alcohol, it takes at minimum 60% ABV to properly sanitize things, so I don't buy that theory. That's not supported by science. Dry-hopping you don't have to worry as much because hops are naturally anti-bacterial. Nevermind, I found the proper answer to this question...

How do you sanitize the beans?

So if it asks for 1/2 cup of grounds, that's equivalent to 8 tbsp of grounds which usually equals 8 cups of coffee right? 8 cups = 64 fl. oz. which is 1/2 gallon of coffee brewed. So you're saying I should add 1/2 gallon of brewed coffee? Is it a strong coffee flavor or hint?

Bueller? Anyone?

Yes, it's already in primary, because our recipe said to add 1-day prior to racking to secondary. So would you assume they mean to take 4oz. of coarse ground coffee beans and boil with a cup of water to sanitize, then drop in primary for a day, then filter during the rack to secondary?

So the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of coffee and adding it 1-day before racking to secondary. ... a) That's only 4oz. Does that mean it's coffee grinds (which you would then filter out when racking to secondary)? b) How do you sanitize ground coffee? c) Would you just use 16-24oz of steam...

GREAT DIVIDE IS A MUST!!!!!!! Dry Dock a close 2nd but it's out in Aurora (won small brewery of the year award - GABF 2009) Falling Rock is great (100 beers on tap, most local) but not a brewery or brewpub. I'd also suggest Vine Street Pub (a local favorite brewpub and sister brewpub to...

Great place to start for beginner home brewers. Use the 5 gallon for secondary when required. Price Payed: $24.00 Recommended? Yes Pros: Less expensive than glass. Cons: Scratches easily if scrubbed.

I live on Gaylord St. My neighbor (she's lived on the street 40 years) said they used to call it "Happy Jesus" street. Would anyone find "Happy Jesus Street Brewing Co." offensive? lol.
