Hello,
Any tips, from grain milling, fermentation disaster and success, to sanitation and simplifying the process of brewing, any tips welcome!
Here are some more personalized/specific questions
Now my most recent IPA. Tastes better than three different ipa’s I bought at the store so in my opinion a success however,
I did have some questions:
1. How important is water PH? Because I don’t adjust mine and the beers I’ve made have come out great, except two one had a pretty bad infection the other I burnt the grain bag.
2. Krausen After 3 week ferment (california ale yeast white labs) dry hopped at first day of fermentation(next one I will do after 5 days) temperature fluctuated a lot in that room. And the sediment was CRAZY like up to the 5 liter mark on my bucket. Even though we strained the flour from the grains after milling. Is this also an infection? The lid of the bucket had mold, but again the beer tastes great.
3. if I add fruit during fermentation (specifically frozen fruit on day 7 of a wheat beer fermentation) does the flavor carry over in a three week ferment?
