    Mash Question

    I've read a post a while back where brewers mash one day then boil the next. I'm not if there is a benefit other than cutting down on brewing time. Thinking about giving it a try as I will be short on time. I was planning to work a half day today so I could brew but that changed. Tommorow I...

    No Boil NEIPA

    Anyone brewing these? If so have a good recipe to share with the process? I pulled one of of Omega Yeast web site that seems good but just curious if there are any others brewing this way? Sanitation wise, I guess a good soak in Starsan would work. I brew on an electric system so i would need...

    Omega Voss Kveik

    I've brewed one batch using Voss and it was basically a pineapple juice bomb. Fermented in mid 80's. For those who have more experience with this yeast does the taste profile carry across the entire temp range? or would there be more or less citrus flavor fermenting at the lower end or upper...

    US 05 Issues

    Brewed a pale ale Saturday. Pitched a pack of US05 Saturday at noon. Temp was 65. It took roughly 30 hrs before any signs of activity. Forward to today and here's what it looks like. US05 has always been slow to start even when rehydrating. The pressure is at 10PSI. Something just seems odd...

    Pressure Fermenting a German Pils

    Just as the title says. I have only brewed a handful of lagers over the years so this is somewhat unchartered territory for me. Yeast: Yeast 2124 Grain: German Pils Malt and maybe a touch of Victory Hops: Hallertau Mit all added during the boil and WP. No dry hops. Fermenter: All Rounder under...

    Passivation using citric acid

    I have a 10.5 gal bayou classic kettle. It was purchased used as part of an electric set up. I'm not sure if the previous owner passivated the kettle. My issue is what appears to be beer scale build up. It takes a lot of time to clean but I have not been able to 100% remove. I'm thinking...

    Diaphragm Sounding Valve

    Received my All Rounder last week. When using the diaphragm spunding Valve do you need to attach a tube to the exit end and into starsan or can I just use it without a tube?

    Clear Beer Draught Sysytem

    For those using this, when you replace the tubing what are you guys using? I'm thinking EVA Barrier would be a good choice, just not sure which size. Thinking the 5MM maybe? Any other alternatives? I have the 4mm tubing and it is definitely too small, just not sure the 5MM will be big enough...

    Milling flaked oats

    is there any drawback to milling oats? I ask because I picked up my grains to brew the All Together IPA and didn't realize they included the oats in the same bag as the grains.

    Floor Malted Pils vs Pils Malt

    What's the difference? Is it just the malting process that separates these or is it taste?

    German Pils

    Looking to brew one in the coming weeks. Is there any reason to add any other malt besides German Pilsner? I've seen some using a touch of victory malt and some with a little melanoidin malt. Grain: German Pils Hops: I'll be using Warrior for bittering and the rest will be Hallertau Mit...

    Pina Colada IPA

    Had a Pina Colada IPA for the first time yesterday. It was pretty damn tasty. The coconut was there in a subtle way. Would like to to make an attempt at brewing one. I've checked out a few recipes and most add lactose. Is lactose a necessary component for a pina colada IPA or even just a...

    Electric Brewing question

    So i recently picked up a High Gravity 120 system. I've made two brews with it and so far it's been great. Question: When I added my chiller at the last 10 min of the boil, the temps dropped and the boil stopped. It didn't have enough time to recover by the end of boil time. Is there any issues...
