Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
I converted a freezer and keep a ball-lock keg in there with a long hose to a picnic tap. I have a tower which I've never hooked up because I'd...
Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like freezing is unnecessary, so I'm over it! If the yeast will remain viable in the fridge for 6 months......
I'm getting ready to farm some yeast for freezing. My question is regarding the glycerin. I know it needs to be "food grade", so can I use any...
good stuff guys... thanks. I've been playing with an old kegerator that I use to cold crash, and I'm able to keep it from exceeding 70. Since it's...
I am using starters based on the yeast pitching calculator, always first generation. I actually may have jumped the gun on this a bit... After I...
I've seen these "bottle bags" (for lack of a better term), that you can put bottles into, normally liquor, that have air bags on them to protect...
as a follow up... I DID substitute a large 30 min hop addition of Willamette to Cascade (what was on hand...), but the Cascade has a higher AA...
My last few batches have turned out... weird. Both IPAs, turning out much sweeter than the same recipe in the past. I've noticed that as we get...
I don't know either! But it's gotta be better than nothing! Larry's method of weighting down a bag is probably better. But there are pluses and...
quick update... I kegged that clone tonight and pulled a test glass. I'll have to go get some some lagunitas to do a legitimate comparison, but I...
Thanks all! I appreciate the input. I think I'll just leave it alone and spend my time and money on more batches of brew!!
yea, you're probably right @LarryBrewer. I've actually got a big old kegerator I'm using for crash-cooling with the tower hole plugged up, but I...
I've converted my mini fridge to a kegerator (as pictured in my profile pic). Basically, I just bent the freezer-shelf/cooling unit down, modified...
I haven't tried it yet, but its gonna be hard to "set and forget" the carbonation on this one! This is my first time brewing it, and it's in...
Of course!! Enjoy! http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/r ... -ipa-clone
here's a quick video i just did... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-7J0Zb ... ata_player
If you wait a couple hours, you'll have only CO2 in the head space. Then you can "swirly" the hops around in there without oxidizing your brew. I...
I don't think it would catch much, and some of those window screens are actually made of plastic or vinyl or something. Some of them are sprayed...
Makes sense. I don't actually add em all to the mash, I just mix them into the water in the mash tun, and then drain all the water to two kettles...
That's a brilliant name!! I googled it... they beat you to it. The REAL tragedy is it's in North Carolina so I'll probably never get to try it!
