    BUG: SG Disappearing From Brew Log

    I hope I'm posting this in the right place, I couldn't find a section specifically for bugs. I'm having an issue when editing Brew Log entries. If I click edit – to add pH, comment, etc – the SG disappears and needs to be re-entered. Wasn't a big deal at first, but I went to add a comment...

    Draft Equipment

    One suggestion I'd make is to invest in a dual regulator. This way you can carbonate one beer at a higher pressure while still keeping other kegs at serving pressure. You could also use the dual regulator to serve different styles at different pressures. Also, when I first put my kegging...

    Adding Acid to Lower pH *During* Fermentation

    Thanks for the reply. What's interesting – to me, at least – is that I did have the pH I needed going into the fermenter. Color is definitely the most important factor affecting pH, which is why I use it to calculate my mash/sparge additions. Wouldn't it also stand to reason that if yeast...

    Adding Acid to Lower pH *During* Fermentation

    Maybe it's strange, but I always have. After 3-5 days of fermentation I pull samples every couple of days to just see how things are progressing/capture data. I take a gravity, temperature, and pH reading. My experience with most beers is that pH drops to the low 4's pretty soon after yeast...

    Dumb Transfer Mistake

    Circling back on this for future reference. The beer (Mosaic Dry Hopped Blonde) finished carbonating and was tapped on October 7th. I was pulling samples everyday to see how the process was going. As @jeffpn predicted, I think it sped up the process by a day or so. Taste was great. Two and...

    Adding Acid to Lower pH *During* Fermentation

    I've got an IPA fermenting – WLP001, OG of 1.065. Mash pH was 5.27, boil pH was 5.32. After 4 days in the fermenter at 68ºF, I'm down to 1.016. However, my pH is a little high at 4.55. Wort was aerated well with O2, yeast was pitched from 1.5L starter using 2 packets. Fermentation has been...

    Dumb Transfer Mistake

    Yeah, that's how I feel. It was filled with CO2. I load corny 2 up with sanitizer, and push through everything into a bucket for that reason.

    Dumb Transfer Mistake

    Wondering if anyone has made the same mistake I just did. I do secondary in a corny and then transfer to another corny for carbonation/serving. Pretty straightforward, CO2 to push from the liquid out in corny 1 to the liquid out in corny 2. I was moving too fast and ended up transferring from...
