I put this in the fermenter a week ago. I had trouble finding the frozen lemonade so ended up with 6 cans of lemonade and 6 cans of limeade. I looks like it will be a little darker then the pictures I see of others. After 7 days I am still getting airlock activity. One bubble every 3-4 seconds...
I have a Monster Mill 3 roller pro that I picked up really cheap because it needed a little work. I replaced the drive roller and all of the bushings. My first time using it I used my cordless Dewalt DCD796. On the low speed setting I had no problem driving it at a low speed but it did seem to...
Thanks for the suggestion wognot. I am on the west of the city so going across the river is a bit of a hike. Im only 15 min from MO malt so that works really well for me.
I just relocated to the St Louis area and am looking for opinions on the best LHBS. I visited Steampunk and it seems like a decent place, but without visiting every one in the area I dont have much to compare to. Seems like there are several around here.
OK so I guess just the act of kegging it handles the cold crash. So I will just end up with a little sediment on my first pour. No big deal. Appreciate the replies.
I have an IPA in the fermenter that I will be kegging at the end of the week. I have not cold crashed in the past but like the idea of having a much clearer beer. I understand just putting my fermenter in the fridge will suck in air and risk oxygen getting in which we all know is bad. I have...
What do you guys think of this? I am going to put 2 kegs in it right now and mount the faucets through the door. Bonus, it has a refrigerator mode so dont need to add a temp controller...
It is supposed to be an Amber Ale. I found it on line but dont remember exactly where. I copied the text to a local doc. I did plug the numbers into a spreadsheet calculator and I can definitely see that the OG number in the recipe was way off.
Hop schedule:
60 min 0.75 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (60...
So I guess I still have some work to do. So what tips can I use to raise my efficiency? I will go through my steps.
Preheated my mash tun.
Added 4 gallons 170 deg water to mash tun.
Added grains while wife stirred.
Checked temp of mash and it was at 157.
Mashed for 45 min.
Sparged with 168...
So I have been brewing for a little over a year. I finally got a mash tun built and a new brew pot so I jumped into all grain a few weeks ago. My first batch (IPA) is still in the bottles carbing but pre bottling taste was very good.
My OG on my first batch was a little lower than the recipe...
Last weekend I bottled my first beer. It was a hefeweizen extract kit. I know its only been in the bottle for a week, but I just couldnt wait to taste it. So I popped one in the fridge a couple of hours ago and just poured a glass. I have to say I am very happy with it. Even my wife was...
Yes it did get warm here today. I have it sitting on a tile floor and it is currently just over 80. So I will wait a little longer and pitch the yeast.
