    I am away for the weekend so I can’t look at the shipping box for the dimensions. It’s the box that the Grainfather came in so the website may show the numbers. .

    For Sale Grainfather 30L/120V -- $500

    I'm offering for sale my 30L Grainfather. It's the 120V model with the blue tooth controller. I've brewed 5-6 batches with it so it's basically barely broken in. I'm letting it go because I prefer brewing 10-gallon batches. I'd prefer local pickup (28054) but I do have all the packaging and...

    Am I doing this Lager thing right?

    It sounds as if you've done things more or less by the book. Often, you won't see a lot of air lock activity with a lager so I wouldn't be too concerned by the lack of activity when you did the D rest. I'd check gravity and if it's where you want, rack to kegs and lager. For the clearest...

    Brewing with Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison

    I use this yeast strain exclusively for my saisons. I've been pitching at 80 and letting it rise on its own to 90, and holding it there til it finishes. It makes, IMHO, the best beer I've ever tasted. I must admit that I've had it stall and take 4+ weeks to finish but sometimes it pushes...

    Speidel Fermenter... Question about Spigot

    I use the speidel with the factory spigot. For me, the spigot is the best thing about this fermenter. I do not have problems with leaking. Mine is the 60L model. I don't think the trub has ever come above the spigot with any of my beers. I do get a little bit of yeast and trub when I...

    kegging a beer cocktail

    I added about 2/3 bottle of red wine to a Belgian Dark Strong Ale that I brewed that was 'missing something.' Simply put the wine into the keg, sealed it up and turned on the gas. It definitely improved that particular beer. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if circumstances call for it...

    Saison Questions

    Bruhaha I just pm'd you with my recipe. You have on hand everything you need to brew a saison. Decide which hops you want for bittering (my standby is german magnum) and pick from your stash your favor aroma hops for finishing. I get most of my ingredients from Alt Bev; it's about 15...

    Saison Questions

    You're right about the grain bill. Use what ever assortment of grains you like (or that you have on hand). I go simple on the grains, mostly pale with about 10-15% wheat and a handful of crystal thrown in for color. Mash low, add honey at flameout and chill to about 75F and pitch. For me...

    Gelatin Finnings: what happens to the gelatin?

    It shouldn't wind up in your bottles. If you gave it 24 hours or so at really cool temps, the gelatin and the stuff it grabs hold of, will have fallen out of suspenSion and you'll have clean beer in your bottles.

    What do you call the beverage when you add a portion of wine to a l much larger quant

    I guess the subject tells most of the story. The rest of the story: About 8 months age, I brewed a dark Belgian strong ale similar to The recipes posted by saq and CSI I screwed up my volumes and wound up with somewhat tasty but thin, i.e., no depth of flavor, dark Belgian ale. I...

    CO2 prices up 50%

    I ran into the same problem with AirGas about a month ago. The counter man told me they had been running a promotion, hence the $20 refills. Promotion ended, lower price too. I didn't like the sound of that. We have a number of industrial gas supply companies in the area so I contacted Arc3...

    Using EC-1118 Champagne yeast to carb up a troublesome DIPA?

    I know it's bad form to say, Me too, but I add champagne yeast to carbonate all my bottle conditioned beers. I'd probably empty the beer back into your bottling bucket, pour the re-hydrated yeast into the batch, give it a very gentle stir and re-bottle. The level of carbonation comes...

    First Lager

    I misspoke with that post. I use 2 packages of dry yeast for my ten gallon batches. Obviously, my mouth (or fingers) were moving more quickly than my brain. Sorry for the error.
