I was quite surprised by this phenomenon. I have no way to control temps. This weekend I brewed a brown porter and pitched this yeast at 61F which was Sunday. So I decided to put this in my garage which is seperate from my house and unheated. Here in the tri-state area (NJ,NY, CT) it...

Hey guys. Anyone else here take the plunge? Your thoughts & experiences would be appreciated.

Just posting a heads up for all you overnight mashers. Normally I'm around 75% if I just do a 90 min mash. Mashed for 12 hours. 8.3lbs of grain yielded a SG of 1.035 at 8 gallons pre-boil!. Now it looks like my English Mild has turned into a Brown Porter hybrid. Here's the recipie...

Are there any tangible benefits, despite a couple of gravity points, to doing really long mashes like 4+ hours ie. overnight?

I've been brewing for 3 years now and all my beers have this homebrew taste that is prevalent in all my beers no matter what beers I brew. I started using a charcoal filter and campden tablets. While this has alleviated the problem somewhat, there is still this underlying aftertaste that...

Title says it all. Thanks in advance.

This is my first time using the Home Depot oxygen canisters. My question is how long is optimal for a 1.060 beer on full blast with the regulator commonly sold to homebrewers?
