« on: Today at 05:43:08 AM »
I am curious, what difference does the shape of the fermenter make? Why would yeast behave differntly in a square or round fermenter?

I don't use the fermentation profile.
How does BeerSmith know when my beer is done fermenting?

Just a thought, could you use the false bottom from your old cooler?

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: Danstar Munich Classic Ale Yeast vs.Munich Wheat Beer Yeast
« on: September 05, 2016, 08:44:24 AM »
The discription for the Munich yeast says " Aroma is estery to both palate and nose with typical banana notes."
The Classic says "Aroma and flavor have balanced fruity esters and spicy phenol notes"
I am going to brew the Roggenbier. I think I would prefer spicy phenols to banana. So I'll probably use the Classic.

I have a pack of each of these and was wondering if anyone has tried them both and what your preferences are?
I am thinking of brewing up a Dunkleweissen or Roggenbier.

Equipment and Software / The Food Lab: How to Seal Foods Airtight Without a Vacuum Sealer
« on: August 23, 2016, 04:45:57 PM »
I wasn't sure where to post this.
I know lots of folks use the vacuum sealr bags for hops.
And I thought was a pretty cool alternantive.
Haven't tried it yet.

Are you sure that your hydrometer or refractometer isn't out of whack?
You also might want to brew the one of the same recipes you did previously that had the higher efficiancy.

All Grain Brewing / Re: First all-grain, water concern
« on: August 21, 2016, 01:19:11 PM »
I would just get the cheapest "spring" water you can find, and not worry about it to much. I know water chem. is important but for your first all grain I wouldn't sweat it. I still just used carbon filtered tap water. Maybe a teaspoon of gypsum for hoppy beers.

I brewed the extract version at Big Brew Day.
It turned out well.
I just checked my notes and I never took a FG reading.
But I doubt it was 1.000.
1.010 seems reasonable.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: 6 oz of hops
« on: July 31, 2016, 06:26:03 AM »I brew an APA with about 4oz of hops and consider it hoppy. It's too bad that the extreme has become the standard when it comes to hoppyness. I like IPAs with 12-16oz per 5 gallons just fine, but IPAs with 6-7oz still have their place.12-16 oz of hops in a 5 gallon batch!
I don't think I ever saw a recipe like that.

Make sure you didn't put that plastic pin thing in upside down.
