yes i would have a hard time telling the difference between 34/70 at 64 vs 54 if the beer was cold conditioned for a few weeks .

whats hard lime aid . that sounds good. is it carbed or still and just forced out of the keg ? is it fermented or just kegged vodka with juice? could you post recipe.

i would leave it i like to ferment my lagers at 54 . i often find changing the temp can throw my yeast for a loop. let it ride

you need to do the homebrew pour. a shoulder height 90 degree wrist rotation that lets the beer flow out of the bottle at an even rate all in one go stopping just before the dregs start to flow out with the beer. usually about 1/4 inch is left in the bottle. dont dump it chug it if yo like...

dont fear the sedimetn. i used to think my beer was off because it was the amount of yeast in the bottles and the tastes i was getting that i didn't like were from the dead yeast. its not . once i started controlling my fermentation temps it didnt matter how much stuff was at the bottom of...

i always have a lager in the winter or kolsch in the summer on tap. i try to have a stout or two ready by november to keep on tap til february. i never brew ipa 's or ambers or wheats. i also try to keep a cider on tap year round

s-23 .....no 34/70 much cleaner much more tolerant . i agree it makes great beer at ale temps. however i have done split batch side by side and the diference is noticable. id like to say its preconceived bias but i have given it to others who say the cold fermented tastes better. the one...

yes if you can get it on shore and get to its roe. lol and smoked sturgeon is the absolute best cold smoked fish even better than sable around us they are ultra protected species cant fish for them or even possess. i have caught a few in the hudson river and i have seen a few in the new...

i use vexilar t-pod on the skiff . i tie it on but it is also castable. it works great and is color . but it uses up the phone battery fast. a portable charger or an outlet on a boat solves this...

i wouldnt have dumped it. i would have fermented it then made a decision. there is something called raw beer that isnt boiled. you prolly would have made beer and who knows it might have been good. hop utilization is a different story.

i get my vevor 110 to boiling in no time at all with the refelctex that made the biggest difference for me

kalik sucks i still have some from my last trip to nassau. its canned so no clear bottle skunk flavor but still a tasteless beer, i really like krombacker . bitburger aint that bad better than most commercial amercian lagers. they sell wolters all over my area for a buck a can its definitely...

yes it is ok. flat warm uncarbonated homebrew is also ok . i often find myself nipping at the fermenter prior to kegging.

it wouldnt make sense to me that its the cord but i am not an electrician. a few things . 1 what is the ambient temp 2 a hard full boil might not be necessary 3 wrap it up in neoprene or reflectex. - reflectex really helped my aio get to a boil and stay there. 4 as a last resort you can throw...

welcome to homebrew talk the "precipitates" as you call them are homebrew sediment. there are several threads on this. there was a very recent one actually. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/bottle-conditioning-sediment.729854/ cold will compact the sediment in your bottles. gelatin and...
