I like to throw the hops in when at the end of fermentation right before cold crashing. This lets the yeast kick up some co2 action from the hops and purge out the head space of air I just let in while dry hopping. so right after I dry hop I wait about an hour or two and then turn the ferm...

I stopped messing around with strainers. with the fermonsters with a spigot you can just cold crash them a litte to drop the hops and tilt it back to slant the hops to the side away from the spigot. If you want to strain the hops so you can harvest the yeast... top cropping before dry hopping in...

That seems to be the most agreed, good form, of pitching harvested yeast. Thank you. If I store the yeast for a week or 2 should I pitch more than 100 ML? I guess the only way to know for sure is to try it and take notes on fermentation. But I really like top cropping the hefe it is a different...

I brewed a Basic German wheat beer using WLP300, as I noticed the Krausen like no other I have seen before I decided to Harvest about 3-400 ML of what appears to be pure yeast. I filled a quart jar with pure creamy Krausen from my Fermoster. I added sterile water and put in fridge for 24 hours...

Thanks f or the tip I am not having any problems, but I just heard of several people finding their kegerators with drained kegs from leaks on the liquid post! plus they are hard to put on and off. I just put the most small amount on them and wiped it off and it is much easier, but I'll pick up...

The ingredients in Aquaphor starts with Mineral oil, I think I am going to try this on my Keg posts to prolong the life of the orings and prevent premature damage. My liquid and gas posts are always so stiff so might as well lube them up right? pun joke. has anyone used Aquaphor for keg posts...

grain to glass in 15 days, I am sure it will get better with age, most the brew was bottled in plastic pet bottles which I squeezed while capping to get the O2 out. I think I am going to put the glass in the fridge tomorrow so they don't blow. I believe the final gravity was still going down...

My 3rd brew after 2 great brews I have noticed something a little scary, I may have some bottle bombs on my hands. I bottled 2 days ago a NEIPA 10.066 OG 10.010 FG but I bottled after only 11 days as the acivity was low and the color started to clear, and to have some brews for Fathers day. I...
