Prozac Time…2 empty Fermenters and 2 empty Kegs now. What to Brew…What to Brew ? May try a "Smoked Ale Beer"

I kinda do the same as you just a lil different. After cold crashing, I put about 3-4 psi co2 on my fermenter and push the beer into the liquid line of a sealed sanitized keg. I leave an open quick connect on the other post to bleed pressure. When the keg is full I pressurize the keg to 25 psi...

Hi BC. i know what you’re saying here. One 6-8 hour brew day has me horizontal the next day. The back and neck pains associated with lifting pots and equipment has me asking the wife to grab a handle. (And it’s only 5 gallons). I’ve been brewing for 5 years and wish I woulda started 5 years...

Hang in there…I made it to retirement but my back is letting me know it when Brewing Beer. (Me to wife) Grab that other handle. 😆

Wow… you are definitely a Brewer. How do you store those full Kegs? Carbonate and chill? Leave at room Temp? Keep carbonated?

Empty Fermenter Blues…just wonderin… 🤔 Does anyone have underlying anxiety’s as their cleaned Fermentor sits idle for a week or more ?¿ Even though you have 2 kegs of Beer already 🍺 Feel like lost brewing time.

A 20# cylinder (food grade) cost me $41. Double the cost for regular co2 I was told. I refill 5 gallon tanks from it. You can easily buy hoses to do this and save money. You have to flip the 20# tank over before transferring or if you can get a 20# tank with a siphon tube you can transfer...

Kinda a touchy subject: Food Grade CO2 vs CO2. After my 20# tank ran low I swapped it out for another 20# tank at a local Gas supply house. I called them yesterday and talked to someone there ad asked about Food Grade CO2 and he said dont worry about that because there’s no difference. Well when...

Named after the Bayou I live on. there’s a company that will make your own tap handle as they did ours. Write down your Brew that’s on Tap. (Excuse the Rubber-bands) for now

Are you talking about Anvil Fermenters? if so, I have 3 different fermenters. SS Brew…Chapmann…and Anvil. I believe Anvil is the best built one. The drain valve/faucet and racking arm are far better than the other two. I even put an Anvil drain valve/faucet on my Chapmann Fermente. It has a 1/2...

I made a pretty good Altbier and used WLP 029 Yeast Dry Yeast Substitution : Nottingham, BRY-97 American West Coast Ale Yeast (Danstar)

Thanx…that’s a relief
