Any idea what would cause a Speidel Fermenter to develop a pink discoloration?

Does anyone have contact info including phone # for Tilt Hydrometer? My wife apparently ordered me one and it didn’t show up. She has emailed them but they haven’t returned her email. Thanks.

I just finished a brew day and had a strange final gravity reading that I can’t Figure out. Maybe one of you has some ideas. Per Beersmith my I hit my preboil gravity and volume. 1.035, 7.5 gal. At end of boil my gravity was supposed to be 1.047, 5.5 gal. My volume was pretty much exact by my...

I’m recirculating using a Wilser bag and getting a stuck mash. I’m milling my grains down to about 32 mil. For those using a similar process, what size are you milling your grains to?

I have a Portuguese Floor Corker that I bought several years ago. It’s also been several years since I’ve used it. I’m using it to cork and cage Belgian 750ml bottles. I don’t remember having any issues corking Belgian Bottles in the past but it’s been nothing but problems now. The corks don’t...

I made a saison using 3711. I let it rip for 3 days then added Brett brux. After sitting it primary for 3 weeks I just transferred to a keg to age for several months. When I took a gravity reading, it had fermented out to 1.000. Will the lack of residual sugars inhibit the Brett from doing its...

I have a Brett beer that I brewed about 2 weeks ago. I’m planning on transferring to a keg to age for a while. Is there any reason to cut the dip tube on the keg? I wouldn’t think I would need too but maybe someone on here has experience.

Typically I get my wort down to about 80° then throw in the fermentation chamber overnight to chill down to pitch temp. For those that do it this, do you aerate before pitching yeast or just pitch?

I Love Saisons! I’m an intermediate brewer. I Build my water from RO, have controlled Fermentation temps, and can’t figure out WLP565. I don’t have the typical attenuation problems, it’s a beast and alway ferments down to damn near close to 1.000. But I can never get that awesome Saison...

Getting ready to cork and cage a saison. i have an open package of unused new cork stoppers that are probably 5 years old. They feel and look fine. Are these ok to use, or just toss them since new ones are pretty cheap?

Outside of cost, what’s your experience of pros/cons grain bag vs basket. I’ve been leaning towards a basket because it looks sexier, but as wondering if there is any real advantage? If you have experience I’m curious of your thoughts.

I’ve just acquired as Blichmann 10g kettle with a boil coil that I’m planning on using as my new BIAB set up. It looks like the top of the coil sits at about the 3.25 gallon mark. I’ll have some type of false bottom on top of the coil to protect the grain/bag. I’m having a hard time wrapping my...

Hello all, I've just graduated from all extract brewing and am starting some partial mash brewing. This past weekend I just brewed my first partial mash kit. It went fairly smoothly. I have partial mash recipe for a SNPA clone that I plan on brewing next. My question is, what are the...
