Just did my first AG batch with BIAB technique. Since I used Pilsner Malt, I mashed for 90 minutes and boiled for 90 minutes with the intent on getting as much DMS out of the batch as possible. I chilled it down to 90 degrees in about 20 minutes and had a significant amount of what I assume...

Okay, this looks pretty darn cool. Anybody with access to the full report? http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nbt.2018.html#/author-information

Not a question but a observation/revelation/statement. I thought it was nuts when I looked at all the folk's signatures and see how many beers they have in their fermenters. First, the cost of the carboys (or pales, or other mostly enclosed vessels), and then second the size of a fermenter in...

So I got to thinking this morning and while I don't think there's an issue, I figured I'd ask the more experienced. I just converted a chest freezer to a fermentation chamber. Does a great job of maintaining temperature and is rarely on. The only negative thing is that I need to buy more...

There's always a story before a question like that. Shortly before Labor day weekend, I went to go fill up two growlers from my kegerator only to find no beer was running. Thinking the beer line froze, I check the lines and all is well on that front but my CO2 tank is empty. The day before I...

I haven't had time to read the whole paper yet but I figured I wouldn't be the only one to find it interesting. http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2011/08/17/1105430108 Caught the article on my BBC feed this morning. Edit: Oops, may have gotten ahead of myself. It's just the abstract and...

I know flavors from yeast are influenced by temperature so I built a "Son of a Fermentation Chamber". It's not pretty, but it does a pretty decent job of keeping everything within a few degrees. I've had it down to 64 and can keep it at 68 with 12 hour ice swaps. Considering I keep the house...

My first attempt at homebrewing was years ago when I made a Caramel Oatmeal Porter but it never turned out quite right (though after 6 months in the fridge, it was at least drinkable) but I decided to jump back into game. But I also want to figure out where I go wrong with each batch and...
