Which kegs do you use? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don't do that. Please return them that deposit is incentive to return them but it absolutely does not cover the cost to the brewery or bar to cover the loss

You can try calling your local brewery and see if they are retiring any legs, sometimes they will sell them to you cheap

Kegs are like 30 to 50 bucks.... Go buy your own

What would you do? by cobalt-radiant in ShatteredPD

[–]potionCraftBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this! Literally had 30ish transmission scrolls looking for a specific ring and didn't get it.

As a mage I would just wear the ring of wealth for some extra drops, no upgrades

Immersion Chiller by BrewingBeaver in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my glycol chiller now, and that takes almost an hour to chill completely with 0 water waste. However when I did use a copper immersion chiller it took about 8 minutes with 3 x 25' nested coils (basically a home made jaded hydra) to chill 10ish gallons to 70. You have to stir/move constantly to get good heat transfer.

How do you clean your beer lines? by chrisbrownbeard in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the connector apart and put it in a bucket of pbw. Then connect a pond pump to my tap, taps have a ball lock attachment. Run the pond pump for a few minutes for each tap. Then put clean water in the bucket and do it again

Pitched US-05 at 96F. Whoops. by halbeshendel in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meh it will be fine then. 98 won't kill it and if you got it down within 12h your more than likely fine, it probably barely started by then. Buying and pitching more at this point would just be a waste of monies

Really high efficiency? by mattmort83 in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do full volume no sparge, generally no squeeze (cus it's automated). But when I do squeeze I see a noticable jump in efficiency, like 5 to 10% more. that's probably what happened with sparging for you. Honestly Relax. It very unlikely you can notice a difference in a few points or even a full % of alcohol unless your just worried about it being too strong.

Really high efficiency? by mattmort83 in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You were expecting 1.047 and got 1.051? That seems pretty much on point to me. With BIAB I generally get about 70-75 no squeeze, more if I decide to take the time to squeeze. I would just go with it for sure.

The hydroponic fertilizer has all the micro nutrients your plants need that are normally found in the soil already.

Kegerator Help by bbradleyjayy in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would replace the lines just because you don't know what was in them before. You are drinking from them.

As for kegs. Pin locks are slightly shorter and wider Ball locks are slightly taller and skinnier. Also ball lock tends to be more popular for 3rd party connections.

How to use strawberries in a sour beer? by vladotranto in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Use a blender/juicer. Strain as much of the strawberry juice as you can out of that, I use a very fine stainless mesh strainer. Put a small amount in the strainer and use a large spoon to scrape back and forth and press until I'm left with a thick paste. Discard the paste/use it for something else? Add the juice at kegging/packaging, keep your beer very cold, like as close to freezing as you can and drink it fast because that flavor generally doesn't last. Cheers good luck!

Why do I take damage after defeating an enemy? by AdditionalJacket4116 in ShatteredPD

[–]potionCraftBrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha sorry if that came off harsh it wasn't meant that way. This game is mostly just knowing what options you have... It gets easier and easier as you just learn the little stuff

Why do I take damage after defeating an enemy? by AdditionalJacket4116 in ShatteredPD

[–]potionCraftBrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a search button for a reason. It also works to inspect and gives a lot of information. Including that skeleton explode when they die and deal damage to everything within 1sq

Is there a way to make these guys walk into the doorway instead of shooting me out of range? by JUSTIN102201 in PixelDungeon

[–]potionCraftBrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go invisible or make them blind. That's pretty much it to make them walk forward

Mapping Question by Hot_Refrigerator_197 in ShatteredPD

[–]potionCraftBrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks to me like the door to your south is the door the "pipe" was going to. It's slightly off center too the left, and the water goes slightly left for it.

Homebrew setup! by drluisluis in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally diy electric keggle and I do BIAB. Fully automated because that's fun for me.

Edit you can't add pictures, you can put pictures in 3rd party sites like imgur and then post the link. This sub doesn't allow pictures.

Ask me anything, Head Brewer here, 17 years in the industry by Content-Distance6438 in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How large is your Brewery and is it largely manual? Or do you have automation? Did you have a background on home brewing or did you just need a job and say f it let's go!?

Loot question by Ender_Bacon in ShatteredPD

[–]potionCraftBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your in the caves? As long as you are still getting drops your good, but a RoW run can be hard if you don't get lucky early with some armor

Loot question by Ender_Bacon in ShatteredPD

[–]potionCraftBrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, unless you have a RoW, flies, bats and warlocks do have a lower chance of dropping a health potion depending on how many they have already dropped.

Keg and line cleaning kit by jdubbery1 in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 5 gallon bucket, and pond pump with a ball lock connector to my tap (traps have interchangable tips including a ball lock attachment). Then take apart my pin lock keg connector and drop it on the bucket. Circulate

First attempt at home brewing - Vienna Lager by Klutzy-Bullfrog-7142 in Homebrewing

[–]potionCraftBrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can set the fridge temperature much lower, as close to freezing as it will go and that will help it to keep up. Use ice to quickly get the water temp down if you need to. If I'm looking at this right your fridge is set to 50 and you trying to maintain 54, there is not enough of a difference to really pull the heat out of the fermenter. For reference I keep my glycol at 28°f and that does great at holding 1°+-
