    Using Fermentation CO2 to Carbonate Beer?

    You want a certain volume of co2, for me as i brew many lagers, i am spunding between 6 and 10 points above final gravity. I perform a fast ferment test to determine my final gravity for each said beer. This generally allows me 10 to 12 volumes of co2 in the beer. I have no issue with...

    Using Fermentation CO2 to Carbonate Beer?

    I do it all the time, instead of an airlock i hook up a hose from my fermenter to a keg, then from the keg to a bottle full of sanitiser water to purge the keg with pure co2 from the fermentation process, then i push the beer to the keg approximately 8 points above final gravity, and let it...

    Low ABV problem (newbie)

    Low ABV problem (newbie)

    Beer is beer, there is no way to fix beer once it is done, you need to go through your process and determine what came up short, it could be a number of things causing this affect, but more of what i want to tell you is dont get discouraged do not give up. Its is correctable in future batches.

    lager

    Everyones process is slightly different, i ferment until it reaches 6 point above final gravity, the i transfer it to a keg for spunding( the beer finishes fermenting and it carbonates itself in the keg at the same time ) but you need a pressure relief valve so your keg doesn't over pressurize...

    lager

    I ferment at 48° using 34/70 yeast ( usually ). Then i lager ( cold storage )at 32° for 3 weeks after which I begin drinking it. Sometimes i will let it lager longer.

    What's your next brew

    Make a bock for freiling fest (spring fest) April/may that would be a nice 6 months of lagering. It would be a real nice bock.

    best way to fix bad grind on grain

    I always wet condition my malts using a spray bottle before milling usually just a few hours prior to milling, this might be something to put to a test. Unless its already been done. Good point nosybear.

    best way to fix bad grind on grain

    Similar solution as above. Condition your malt the night before( a couple ounces of strike water mixed in well ), and brew as usual, and take notes, for later comparisons.

    Forgot to use protafloc - what to do?

    An ipa is anticipated to be cloudy, and slightly thick, if your trying to make it clear i think cold crashing is your best option at this time, to achieve a dryer less thick mouthfeel you will have to adjust your mash temperature.

    Forgot to use protafloc - what to do?

    Gelatin, if you really prefer a chemical solution, or just cold crash for awhile.

    Rookie question

    The yeast are there to do one thing and that's to eat sugar, no matter what the concentration is you just need to make sure that you pitch enough yeast, and make sure you oxygenate the wort so that the yeast can begin working as fast as possible and make sure when fermentation is finished you...
