Hey everyone, I know this isn’t about cider but I can’t find a thread in seltzer. So, I’m sorry about that but hoping you can help. I’m making a 5 gal seltzer with Kveik Lutra and white lanes seltzer max yeast nutrients. After fermentation, I’ll be adding root beer extract, back sweetening...

Okay, so, I am making a hard root beer. I am going to use a regular root beer recipe and pitch my yeast like I would normally do with any other beer. Then I will allow it to ferment, and I will back sweeten with the appropriate amount of sugar for priming and xylitol for sweetness. My question...

Update: I have a recipe using 2 lbs of sassafras root but it’s expensive and not feasible.

Hey everyone, I want to make an alcoholic root beer for 4th of July and I’m having a really hard time finding a recipe. Does anyone have a good 5 gallon recipe for an alcoholic root beer? I don’t want to use an extract kit if necessary as I usually brew all grain. I cannot find a clone recipe...

Awesome, great advice. Thanks a ton!

Awesome, thank you! Do you think this adapter would allow for me to connect a regular tank?

I’m having the same issue with my Vevor 8L kegs. I have 2 and I want to lose the co2 cartridges and instead connect a tank. But, I need to split the hose as well, to go to both tanks at once. Did you ever figure this out? If so, I’d really appreciate your help. Not sure which parts to buy to...

5/6 gal*

Hell yeah! I always sparge and did so this last time. I found out that if I strike with 6 gal and up to 17.5 lb grain that everything fits. If I sparge and dilute, I end with 7.5-8 without affecting my ABV or taste profile. I think this’ll work out well moving forward.

Okay, so my father in law bought two of these Vevor mini kegs —> VEVOR Beer Growler Tap System, 270Oz Mini Keg, 8L Pressurized Beer Growler, 304 Stainless Steel Mini Keg Growler, Comes with Dual Pressure Display CO2 Regulator Faucet 20" Beer Hose Relief Ring, Black | VEVOR US They take the...

Nvm, guess that would be closer to 6.5 gals…

Assuming I’m reading processing your response correctly.

Baller. You’re awesome! Thanks for the advice! I’ll plan on 8 gal brew days with this new kettle, moving forward.

Hey everyone, I just received this electric brew kettle from Vevor —>...

Thank you, I appreciate you avoiding my typos, lol currently I’m not using anything like BeerSmith three but I will start using it. I brew about 5 gallons at a time but I am afraid that what I’m putting into my firm. Enter at the end of my boil isn’t actually 5 gallons. It doesn’t help that my...
