Hi, this is my first entry in the journal. I just made a starter for a steam beer. (Wyeast 2007 pilsner.) I plan to brew with a freind,we only have 1/2 day wo I will do an extract. I just tapped my last brew, my own recipe, just 11 lbs, MO and 1&1/2 lbs Munich, the hops were Kent goldings and Cascade. I was trying something less bitter. It turned out a little too bitter anyway, I think because I had too much volume and boiled so too long. I'm will be trying to use my Son Of Fermentaton chiller in the winter to warm instead of cool. I will put a small light bulb in the main chamber to heat it and then let the fan and ice cool it back down. It worked great in the summer, it held the temp at a steady 68 deg contiunually. Hope it works to heat as well. |
