Scored a weber smokey mountain this morning for 50$! Cant wait to use this thing. Have heard a lot of good things.

Hello from Barrington neighbor!

I've used the hot head with great success. Have not tried Omegas new kevik yeast but I did just rack off the cake of the new tropical ale yeast and I like that one too. Very fruity. The hot head in my experience doesn't leave a big flavor profile kind of more neutral but so nice to use in the...

I brew 6 +% beers for the most part. 4 or so tunes me up. I dont do that every day though. I love my home brew such a great hobby

Whats the range on it?

im going to let this starter ferment out then decant on another and taste it. Then go from there

Found and old sealed pack of wyeast forbidden fruit in the fridge. Decided I would make a starter to see if it’s still ok. Smacked the nutrient pack and it swelled. Pitched it into a small starter just in case it was bad. Pitched it to the starter but it smelled funny. It’s been on the stir...

Correct 5 gal batch. I will up the 2nd hop addition to two ozs. I also have some uk golden promiise around 40oz left- or is that just getting the water muddy?

Omegas hot head is great for summer brewing and it likes it hot- like I set in on my deck in the summer sun to re-invigorate the buggers. It does not floc well but otherwise a great summer time yeast that you dont have to look after.Booze travler show had a segment on the kviek yeast just the...

So does anybody know if any of the titles above are in audio books? I would like to start getting some of those titles as i drive 30 to 40 min each way to work. Never looked into audio books at all.

Anything from thermoworks. All their stuff is quality. I have the dot model works great not that expensive either.

Great idea!

Personally I think people take this way overboard. I triple rinse when I drink hem then store open side down then on bottling day I rinse with super hot water and then use the avonator to spray with starsan. Never had a problem.

I cleaned the dip tube and re assembled and it clogged instantly. Ripped back apart removed the quick connect fitting from the out feed side and put pressure back on it to purge the crap. I did this in the backyard. trimmed the pickup tube and reassembled. All good now. There is a lot of hop...

Racked a rye beer into my keg threw it into the fridge and tapped it 24 hours later and i got to much trub in there. Its clogged. Any suggestions to purge the gunk?

I cant knock three vessel but I love my BIAB set up. Average 73% brewhouse efficiency. 3.5 hours start to finish for a 5 gal batch. I couldnt give 6 plus hours to a brew day so for me it allows me to brew.
