Re: Year old Yeast

You can only go as fast as the yeast will let you. A learning process, which is good for us all... Let us know how it goes as it can help others too.

Re: Year old Yeast

Can you get replacement yeast elsewhere? This would be best. It is possible but will take some time to get this yeast built up to where it should be. I would add a week and at least a second starter and brew it next weekend... If you brew and pitch this weekend anyhow, realize fermentation will take...

Re: Kegged vs. Bottled Beer

Thanks for responding mally Meant to say hoppier. As in too many hops. (Spell correct or typo mistake). The third paragraph I was saying that only a couple days previous I had been blending it with a less hoppy Helles to make it easier to drink. Was planning to take the crazy step of opening up newl...

Kegged vs. Bottled Beer

When brewing beer I normally brew extra beyond the 5-gallons that fits in the Corny keg. Normally will have between 1 and 3 gallons in PTFE containers (to top off the keg when getting low). Also bottle some beer for competitions and mostly gifts. Sometimes will bottle in larger 1-liter or 1.25 liter...

Re: My first BIAB, first AG

Thanks Tony. I have the BCS book. It’s my most used brewing book with well worn, dog eared looking pages. For me getting what style it is helps find what you are doing a lot quicker. May not have memorized the recipe name so if we also have the style it helps connect the dots quicker.

Hi Tony,

I don’t know what the Munich Madness recipe is? Which brew...?

Good job. Love doing experiments (Brewing one now as well...)! Let us know what you think, for certain.

Thanks,

Re: My first BIAB, first AG

I’ve never used the quick lager method, and about 2/3 my brews are lagers... :scratch: Brülosophy blog says the quick lager method - think they said they could not taste difference in outcome... Perhaps I will try in the future if need to quicker open up the fermentation chamber for another brew. So...

Re: My first BIAB, first AG

Hello Dreadpiratewes , Good job filling it out! :thumbs: For the most part it looks really good. A couple things I noticed... Section D, for BCS Book recipes we put the VAW @ 21.77 Liters / 5.75 gallons. And fermentation time, think you had 10 days plus d-rest, which may be a tad low for a lager. No...

Re: More BIABacus function

Hi Tony,

Pat has said that in the past he uses much more automation in earlier versions, but had lots of issues with compatibility with people using different versions of Excel and not working properly. So he stripped out much of the automation to avoid that.

Re: BIAB competition success

@shetc ,

I meant to communicate “good job” on this. It means you have your “process” down where you are getting consistently good beer. And that is important!

Congratulations! And good job.

Re: First try at using BIABacus - can I get another set of eyes to see if I did this right?

Thanks Pat. I did not put the B for Boil Only. That explains the problem. Didn’t know that we need to. What does S for Steeping do to the calculation? I used to steep but normally now just make the grain part of the mash. Easier and seems to work fine. But some of these grains have no diastatic powe...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello gdp66 , and welcome to the forum! I always would recommend going a little larger than you plan to brew. Can always scale it back but cannot scale it larger without new equipment. For example, I thought 10-gallon brew kettle would work for my planned 5-gallon batches and almost went that way. O...

Re: German Rauchbier Recipe

Awesome Greg! Nice to hear. Let me know how it turns out. A couple guys at my homebrew group thought it good but slightly harsh... Not my opinion, theirs. Kind of like a person having their first IPA, but this is not “over the top” at all, in my opinion. If brewing “for the masses”, perhaps I would ...
