Just curious if there is a down-side to storing un-milled grain in containers in a freezer. If it makes a difference I am thinking primarily specialty grains. I am assuming they need to defrost prior to milling, any other gotcha's?

Hi all, firstly apologies if this is already covered somewhere - I did a search and couldn't find precisely what I was after so here is a new thread. I have an upright Fridge/Freezer (Westinghouse Model BJ514V-R if that helps) that I would like to use the Fridge section for fermenting (using my...

I attempted a Reiterated Mash last night with the following Mash Schedules and I'm curious what folks think of my logic. The aim is to get a pretty fermentable wort to avoid too much cloying sweetness in the final beer. I mashed the first 5kg of grain at 68*C for 30 minutes, no mashout. My...

I'm using craftbeerpi3 to monitor fermentation from my Tilt and writing to Thingspeak and it's working perfectly. Prior to that, and still now as craftbeerpi3 is still under test, I was/am logging the Tilt to brewstat.us via a spare Android phone and the Tilt Android app. Once craftbeerpi3 and...

Decided to measure temp of wort out of the chiller today - surprising results detailed here. Results I guess as expected but a variance of 14*C surprised me :blink:

I wonder if this story goes some way to explaining Coopers' relatively recent explorations into non-traditional (for them) markets?

An idea I've been toying with is connecting my 'standard' Coopers-kit type plastic fermenter (with it's standard sized plastic tap) via tubing to the beer-in post through a QD fitting. If I then leave the pressure relief valve open I could just let gravity move the beer from fermenter to keg...

Up until now, I have thought bottled beers that I have intended to cellar for some years (mostly higher alcohol - RIS, BW, etc.) need to be kept at somewhere near fermentation temps (say 18*C) so that the yeast can continue working and evolve the beer over it's life. So, I have kept them in a...
