Good info guys. I think that I will give this a try.

I typically brew 5 -6 gallon batches and I keg, but the kegs only hold 5 gallons. I have been bottling the rest with carb drops, but I much prefer the beer that's been on the gas over the ones that are bottle carbed. Has anyone used a carbonation cap to quickly carb a 1 or 2L PET bottle? I...

I use a wort chiller and can get the wort down to pitching temps in about 10-15 minutes. To reduce the water waste, the water that comes out of the wort chiller goes into a spare bucket or 2 that I have and I use it for washing my equipment once I am done. I have to pump through about 10 gallons...

I was wondering if there is a calculator or formula to determine your exact boil off if you have Pre boil gravity and post boil gravity? I do BIAB and I try to have 7G Pre boil. I just want to double check some measurements.

I've read countless threads about bottling conditioning to carbonate and to further condition the beer. My question is if you keg, how can you condition your beer further? Some flavors mellow over time in the bottle at room temp, but if you've kegged how can you achieve the same thing? My...

I will have to check and make sure when I get home.

I think that i got pretty much all of it off using the flat head, one step sanitizer, Bar Keepers Friend and scrubbing. That BKF sure does get the kegs clean, Looks great now. Thanks guys.

Thanks. I was able to scrape pretty much all of it off. Have it soaking again in some one step. Should be able to get it all off. Thanks for the replies.

I got some used Kegs and one of them has a weird mark on the inside. At first I thought it was, still could be, but do you think that this keg is garbage or can it be saved? I have attached a picture. I have soaked it in a CLR/water solution for at least a couple hours and this is whats left.

I am looking at some Extract recipes and I see some calling for DME Pilsen, DME Amber, DME Light, LME Wheat, LME Pilsen... My Local homebrew store on their website lists out only having the following: DME - Bavarian Wheat DME - Golden Light DME - Sparkling Amber LME - Pilsen Light LME...
