Re: Cleaner

Oh good, I was just like "oh great, and now..."

Its a 2 gallon batch. Hopefully it will go to town, off to the Washington coast for 2 weeks then home and bottle it.

Thanks

Cleaner

Damn, I can't wait to have a larger workspace. Today while cooling my wort in the sink, I accidentally splashed a couple drops of onestep (diluted) into the wort. Did I just make sure my yeast will die when added?

Sugar

NO I'm not being fresh :lol: I just bottled (4th batch) the Zombie Dirt, 2 weeks in the Brew Demon and 2 weeks in bottles, then cold crashed in the fridge for over 24 hours. So heres the rub, I thought going to 16 Oz flip tops made sense. So from my 2 Gallon BD I bottled into 16 oz fliptops and exce...

Re: Welcome New Members

Hey guys! I’m am newbie here. Not really a pandemic brewer but maybe since I am getting started into this realm during the pandemic. My girlfriend bought this kit for me for Father’s Day and just now slowing down enough to give it a shot. Never realized what a huge amount of things actually went in...

Re: What do I do with it

Not sure I understand, why did you open 3 packs of the same kind of yeast, using half of each in a batch? Next time just do as they said above, and then use the other 1/2 of a pack in the next batch, that way you don't end up with a bunch of extra opened packs simultaneously and instead will be sav...

Re: Traub

I remember when I used the Mr Beer fermenter I put a couple of CD cases under the fermenter in the front where the spigot is. That allowed the trub to gather towards the back keeping the spigot clear. Not sure if that will work in a Brew Demon or not. I’m not sure if the pump is a good idea. I’m no...

Re: Dry kit vs Brew Demon Canned kit

Thanks for all the cool thoughts and comments. I will try grain brewing eventually, I live in 800 SF condo so space is limited :D And I still want my wife to like me. Cheers I completely understand. I brew outside for the same reason! I have even less room outside and I'm on the 4th floor :lol:
