More than likely BrewersFriend is what I’ll use again, Anymore just about anything you can think of to do with brewing is available on the net somewhere , honestly I think we’re all a bit spoiled with how easy it is to gain info , I have big time respect for the old timers & pioneers of home...

now that I’m getting back into the hobby I’m curious as to what websites most are using these days for their calculations and such ? I used Brewer’s friend when I was brewing on a regular basis but lost all info I had saved when subscription ran out . Just wondering if their all about the same...

Funny you mentioned that cause I was just looking at a Youngling clone thinking the same thing

It’s been a couple years or so since i did any home brewing or visited this site , reason for the stoppage was my fermentation fridge went out and I never replaced it due to work, life & maybe a little laziness but that’s all about to change starting today New fridge is scheduled to be...

My (4.4 Galanz) mini fridge crapped out sometime early this morning, the ink bird alarm woke me up when the temp started going up… looks like the compressor seized up and to have it replaced would cost more than what I paid for the mini fridge to start with and yes there was a keg with about...

After seeing Beermeister32’s set up in a different thread I wanted one for myself but I went cheap with an Amazon set up it works ok but having a hard time getting it balanced, I usually run around 12 psi in keg @ 35 degrees but even with the tap having an adjustable setting it still foams...

I threw in a 1/2 Lb white wheat malt

How much Dextrin or Carapils would be good for a decent head (retention) ?? 5.5 gallon brew using the following 6 lbs of 2 row 1.5 lb of flaked corn .5 lb of flaked rice 1/2 lb or so of rice hulls ( just incase ) This grain bill gets me around 4.3 ABV Using US-05 yeast. Shooting for around...

Why in the world did I open this thread !! Everything looks so good and it just reminds me of how bad a cook my wife really is ,, LOL

How is that Blood Orange Wit ?? I’ve thought about trying it more than once just never got around to it ..

When I read the OP’s question I knew this was gonna an interesting thread and I needed to pay attention, I to have wondered the same thing from time to time while transferring to keg. The further it goes I can’t help but think about the eternal question of is the glass half full or half empty...
