Normally someone would use beer gas to pour a peer off of "nitrogen" or "nitro", as en example, Guinness is poured using beer gas. Also pouring off of nitrogen...

    Beerstone Deposits in Bottom of Used Keg

    In my opinion, One of the nice things about a snake keg fermenter is because you can boil them with PBW in there and I have had great success in cleaning that gunk off. I think heat is a nice trick to use for cleaning since they are able to take it, heating just as you would a keg kettle...

    how to raise air temps during fermentation

Then I attach the probe on the other side of the carboy where not touching heater, then I tape there. Then I attached some bubble...

    Old Yeast Recommendation?

    Thanks for the advice and recommendations. I only have one stir plate but maybe I'll make two starters with some mason jars I have lying around. I'm thinking a 500ml starter for the Kolsch yeast and then a liter starter for the two Dusseldorf Yeast vials. I suppose since the yeast is old I'll...

    Old Yeast Recommendation?

    Hello everybody! I just made an IPA out of leftover hops from my freezer. Now I'm cleaning out my fridge and I have found three old vials of White Labs Yeast! Two vials of WLP 036, Dusseldorf Alt Yeast and one vial of WLP 029, German Ale/Kolsch Yeast. They are all three expired for several...

    Hop Rocket used as a Filter

    Hey there, I don't post often, as I am an avid reader.... But I believe I have the solution for you. People use these scrub pads for filtering on their racking canes all the time. Maybe buy a few and just stick them in the hop rocket. I have one as well and never thought of putting anything else...
