Very excited to try this recipe out tonight I am brewing the full 11 gallons and am going to ferment in 2 different buckets so I am going to try 2 different yeasts to see what happens. Going with white labs california ale wlp001 with 1.5L starter and gigayeast Vermont IPA Yeast GY054. So just...

Well that is reassuring thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So brewed sunday, made a mint chocolate stout for the holidays. Everything was going perfectly, the aroma was amazing, color was perfect, I was hitting my numbers. When I was chilling I heard the worst noise ever. The hose had come loose from the copper coil and sprayed an amount of water that I...

The temp varies because I keep messing with it dont have it down perfect yet. So should keep the co2 disconnected? Should purge and then put a different psi on?

Sorry if this has been posted but did not see anything specific to my problem. Kegged my oktoberfest last friday. Temperature at a constant 32-38 degrees. Set PSI for 30 over night, when tried the next day I released co2 and turned it to 10 psi. Beer was flat and cloudy. So I turned to 30 psi...

Alright here is my question. I have a single tap kegerator, I am going to convert it to a double tap so I can get 2 ball lock kegs inside. My problem is the gas line, I am also going to get a dual gas regulator so I can have different psi in different kegs, but I do not know how I am going to...

So I am preparing to transfer to the all grain method. I am going to make my mash tun out a of a cooler because that seems like that is the cheapest way to start off. I am just trying to figure out what size of cooler I should get. I am going to most likely be brewing 5 gallons at a time. I like...

Awesome thanks for the quick reply everyone. I am hoping that my second batch goes as well as the first one and then I think I might try brewing the all grain method.

I used mutons dry yeast that came with the kit.

Hey everyone. Second batch, brew all malt extract dark German beer. It's been a little over a week since I brewed. The beer looks very cloudy still and I can see sediment floating in it. I did have a problem with blowoff but I thought I resolved it quick enough. I am just afraid that the batch...

Hey everyone, on my second time brewing. Brewing from extract a german dark beer. SG before pitching the yeast was 1.40. How often do I check a hydrometer reading and when I do, do I dump the sample or can I put it back in?

Hey everyone, new to this homebrew talk. I joined because this is only my second time brewing and had a problem, however I think everything is going to be ok from some older posts that I read. I am brewing a german style dark beer. Had a little problem with the kraussen filling up my airlock...

So how long can I keep the blow off tube on? I have it in a pot with sanitized water and covered with foil. It looks like I am in the clear, but my S-Airlock top snapped off and am waiting for a new airlock to come in. Would I be ok just leaving the blow off tube on?

So the same thing just happened to me. Brewed last night and this morning woke up to a mess. It snapped the top of the airlock off and blew the rest across the room. Did your beer still turn out ok?
