Getting it under Co2 will help, hopefully?
What about using priming sugar instead of gas? The yeast will kick back up and use any O2 that was absorbed.
Waiting until the very END of yesterday's brew day to find the dead spider floating around in your star-san bucket.
I know, I know, the beer will be fine, he's now just a very clean, dead spider. But still...
Don't do that.
One time, I was nodding at the computer, & a black widow lowered itself into the last drink of HB left in my glass. All the while, a grand daddy long legger had lowered itself onto my forehead, & I could feel the hooks in it's legs digging into my skin with every step! YuuuuK!!
Drink beer at unions house. Don't do that.
I can't stand spiders & any kind of bees. I hate anything that bites or stings, & can look at me several ways at once! Yuuuuk! But snakes, lizards, & the like are way cool...go figure?
Just.....Oh, HELL NO!!!!!!! Spiders are the one thing I am deathly afraid of.
Thank God we don't have those camel spiders!
Four gallon kettle with three gallons in it. I'm brewing an extract kit, so I steep my grains and decide to rinse them and add the rinse water to the kettle. That added 4-6 cups. Then I added my LME and DME. Now I am maybe an inch and a half from the top of my pot. I managed to not only get through my boil without boiling over, but also boiled out a half gallon or so, enough for my wort chiller to fit without spilling over.
Using too small of a pot, or too much water, DONT DO THAT!
OG on that three gallons was over 1.06, I added around 2.5 gallons to bring it down to just under 1.05, and 5.5 gallons of wort.
Better check your measurements. 3 gal of 1.060 wort gives 180 points. Add water to make 5.5 gallons and you have 180/5.5 or 1.033 wort. You are making a session beer.
