I'm fermenting a Vienna Lager in a fermzilla 30L. After 3 days I attached a blow-tie spunding valve to start fermenting under pressure. A couple days later I check and saw the pressure gauge read zero. I discovered I didn't have the spunding valve seated properly so the Fermzilla was sealed...

Ok, I cast my vote for hybrid.

Answer: None of the above I Mash & batch sparge in a picnic cooler and boil using a propane burner

In addition to the questions that @Sandy Feet asked, what was the OG and volume of the beer? I would recommend using a yeast pitching calculator to see approximately how much yeast you need. You don't need to be spot on; just in the ball park. I used the calculator & entered in typical...

Join us and we can also tell you what you should and shouldn't pack. What could go wrong? :p

This is also the reason I don't step mash.

Josh, how can it be a Vienna Lager if there is no Vienna malt in it? :p But, tomorrow will be my first ever Vienna Lager so obviously I don't know what I'm talking about! :) My recipe will be 93% Weyermann Vienna. I plan to brew another batch where I use a Vienna/Munich split to see how it...

After I posted I remembered that you had one that was 100% Vienna Malt. Google research shows that the original Vienna Lagers were made that way. So I think I'll go that route. What hop(s) and yeast did you use?

I was leaning toward brewing a Dunkel as well this weekend but, after sampling a good Vienna Lager at a local brewery I suddenly want to make a Vienna Lager! Never brewed one before. Just have to find a recipe. In post #1476 of this thread @Ozarks Mountain Brewery lists his recipe. Does...

Before I had temperature control, I used a blow-off every time for the first 2-3 days. Now I only use one if the fermenter is pretty full or the gravity is high.

@Brewer #479341, Welcome to the forum and to home brewing! Sounds like you had a real adventure with your first batch. It's amazing the way we can abuse the brewing process and every time (almost) we wind up with beer! So, while this probably won't be your best beer ever, I'd say just...

Sounded familiar but, I still had to look it up to refresh my memory. Love Abbott & Costello! I think Whose On First is one of the funniest comedy routines ever!

I've done a couple of the Flash Brew Irish Ale kits and thought they were good. Maybe a step down from what I make and two steps down from the Pros but, still good.

I brewed Sunfire's Golden Ale today. Everything went great except that I accidentally swapped the 0.25 oz addition of Citra at 10 minutes with the 1.5 oz addition of Citra at 5 minutes. I'm not worried, I've made worse mistakes.

Glad to see you back Herms!

The end cap of the filter is now weighted so it should sit lower.

My LBHS got in a couple of the new All Rounder fermenters. It comes with the complete pressure kit including blow-tie spunding valve). Haven't had time to brew with it yet but hopefully in a couple weeks.

Normally I listen to The HomeBrew Happy Hour podcast when I'm doing something home brew related. And normally I just listen on Spotify instead of watching on YouTube. But there was something they covered last year that I wanted to refer to so I went to their YouTube page and saw a face that...

Is this a or a event?

I'll drink to that!
