It isn't doomed, although it might have a tendency to be a bit dry. Keep in mind that gypsum is hard to dissolve, so any excess probably ended up in the trub in the bottom of the brewpot.

As long as all of the fittings, seals and gaskets have been sanitized, the keg has a tight seal, and you're only using CO2, nitrogen or beer-mix with the keg, it can keep for many, many months. I have a friend who kegs his mead, and has more than a few that have been in the keg for 3+ years. As far ...

Mack, 78F is pretty warm. You can still brew and ferment it at that temperature, but the yeast will produce more fusel alcohols and more esters. Even up here in the north (NY), fall tends to be the start of brewing season. There are all sorts of tricks to keeping the fermentor cool. One effective me...

Thanks for your replies. Just a follow-up question. What if you have a large quantity of beer and you'd like to keep it cool, do you think placing it in an airconditioned room is practical? No reason to get too complicated over an issue like this; storing the beer is a cool dark corner of the basem...

Kabbo, First things first, relax, don't worry and have a homebrew. Next, brew a batch of beer without adding any brewing salts. If you're still having haze problems, then the brewing salts are clearly not the cause. That being said, I think your haze problem is VERY unlikely to be caused by added br...

Re: Filtering during transfer to ferm.
Hello, I was wondering if it would be OK to cold-filter the beer between the kettle and the fermenter to reduce chill haze ? If so, should I use coarse filter pads ? Kabbo, If your goal is to reduce chill haze, then unfortunately the method you've outlined won't work. In order to reduce chill haze,...
I've never filtered a homebrew, but I used to work in a microbrewery and filtering has a variety of effects on the finished beer depending on how tight the medium is. First, if you filter out the yeast before carbonating the beer, you can add all the priming sugar you want, but it will always be dea...

Thinking about that a little more, how much gluten is too much gluten? For example, I'd think that highly roasted/kilned malts (roasted barley, dark chocolate malt, etc), which are kilned at 350+ deg F, would denature just about any proteins in the kernel. It would certainly allow a little more crea...

Hi, By definition, a steam beer is made with lager yeast, but fermented at the lower end of typical ale fermentation temperatures, so a cool fermentation of this beer really isn't to style. Looking over the temperatures you've posted, you've gotten a little ahead of yourself. Lager means to store, a...
