So somehow I made a doofus mistake. After force carbing for 30 hours at 30psi and purging the keg I dialed the pressure down to 13psi but somehow forgot to open the CO2 valve. Don't know how this happened as I even checked the next day and can swear the valve was open. So anyhow, I reset it to...

Been a while since I've posted, but haven't stopped brewing! So hello all, hope you're all well and healthy :rock:OK so it's quite obvious IMO that they're all using the same additive in their beers as I taste the *exact same* sweet candy like pumpkin spice flavor in their beers. It's kind of a...

Posted about this a long time back. Here's the response I received from Fred about adjustment: "If you make sure that the adjustable roller is coming up from UNDERNEATH the drive roller on both ends when you set the gap, then the thumbscrews should hold. There is TWO positions of the adjustable...

I have been using the Ss Mash tun for 5 months now, made 10-11 beers with it. I preheat mine using 5 gallons of 170 degree water. Been working flawless this way. In the beginning I tried less water like 4G and lower temps like 160 but I found some small temp loss in the mash. Preheating with 5...

Just a heads up - running grain through twice doesn't make up for not using a tighter gap setting. Wheat is smaller than barley and without tightening the gap up it likely won't get crushed much and depending on your gap setting if at all. Many here use a gap setting of .024 for wheat and .030 -...

Called into NorthernBrewer, they are replacing all the lost malts and apologized for the mistake . Very happy they were so nice and easy to work with correcting this. Rev.

Thanks man! Definitely seems I got rye by accident. Like mentioned I've never brewed with rye before. I didn't notice a difference in smell but that is likely because I had a pound and a half of Briess Cherrywood Smoked malt mixed in with it. My friend and I mostly noticed the smokey smell. I...

Duuudes, you guys are so right! I just looked up rye (never brewed with it before) and the pic on Morebeer looks exactly like what I received! https://www.morebeer.com/products/briess-rye-malt.html Is rye really that gummy in the mash? Rev.

So I've been brewing something like 8.5 years. I've made pumpkin ales without ricehulls early on so I'm totally familiar with a stuck or slow runoff/sparge, but with those it was always just a very slow runoff. This was 99% stuck with a dribble. I was doing a beer with 8.5lbs Franco-Belges...

Here ya go. The only thing I'd like to ask is if you brew this as-is (unmodified) if you wouldn't mind keeping the name. :) Waterloo (Watermelon Jalapeño Wheat Beer) - Recipe by Rev Ingredients for 5G Batch: 5lb 8oz Rahr White Wheat Malt 3lb Briess Pale Ale Malt 1oz Hallertauer 4.1% AA (Boil...

If he bottles and uses potassium metabisulfite to kill the yeast how is he going to get the beer carbed up in the bottles? Rev.

Nope, this is Kenny Wilson's thread, I only commented later. So no that's not the recipe. I can PM mine to you if you'd like. Rev.

It has the actual jalapeno flavor, a lot of it! When you first smell the beer the jalapeno is very prominent on the nose with the wheat beer behind it followed by the watermelon which is the least noticeable in the smell - it's mostly jalapeno. Then when you sip it you first get the watermelon...

It is indeed!! :) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/watermelon-wheat-first-version.653309/#post-8618313 Rev.

Yes you can add cutup blueberries but why not just press the fruit to squeeze out the juice?? Just adding cutup blueberries is only going to leave a barrier between what you actually want to extract (the inside juice) and its container (the flesh). You will need to use more blueberries than if...

*Note, the following opinion is primarily if you are kegging*. I'm of the mentality that I typically A) Don't want to ferment out the fruit sugars on fruits that aren't super incredibly sweet and B) Personally feel sanitizing the outside of the fruit should be adequate enough if not added to the...

Rather than create a new thread just figured I'd update here in Kenny Wilson's thread. My Waterloo (Watermelon Jalapeno Wheat beer) was a major success, everyone absolutely loved it. I went with 1 quart of 100% fresh pressed watermelon juice from a local juice bar since I don't yet have a...

I use a 1650w Hotrod heatstick combined with gas stovetop and let me tell you if I turn the gas up past mid way the rolling boil is more aggressive than when I boiled outdoors on a Blichmann propane burner. Plugs into a standard 120v outlet as well...

I'll look into it. Though up till now as mentioned I haven't noticed any issue and my IPA comes out great. Could be though that it would be even better doing pressure transfers with CO2 and I just don't yet know what I'm missing :) Rev.

Gonna cut it up and dry hop it for one week in the fermenter. I typically sanitize the outside of the peppers (I've used habanero and jalapenos already) then I cut up the peppers on a sanitized cutting board with sanitized knife then add to the sanitized mesh bag and weigh it down with a heavy...
