I just bought a Cornelius double body regulator (one for the brew and one for my kids kids brew -root beer they made). This regulator doesn't have shut offs for each output and they are threaded. Anyone know.....can I remove these threaded fittings or get an adapter to convert it to barbed...

My head is spinning trying to find an answer... Kegged for the first time (Red Ale) and following the "set and forget" instructions. Once I purged the oxygen from the corny, I set the pressure to 30PSI, left the gas on, temperature at 40 degress. It's been left like this with gas on for 5...

Just saying.... With the help of this site and all of information I'm now on my fourth brew! First two were a huge success, and two are fermenting. Thanks to everyone, you rock! :mug:

Can I add more than the 6 gallons of water to my Midwest Kit to make a bit more? The kits are probably designed/calculated for 6 gallons right? But is there a way to add a bit more to account for the loss throughout the process? add more ingredients? Easy way to calculate it? I was just...

Checked out a bunch of threads but getting frustrated.... Pitched wyeast 1214 for my Belgian Tripel last night (about 16 hrs ago) and nothing yet. Should I be worried??? (I am). Will it s l o w l y start? Leave it or do something?? Help, please!! INFO: smacked the pack, it...

Haven't found anything and looking for a comments or suggestions... Midwest's Lemon Coriander Weiss is the brew I'm making. Recipe says 1 week in primary then transfer to secondary and add the lemon zest. My question: Will it make my beer better if I leave it in the primary for longer...

My 1 gallon of raspberry wine has the raspberries in there (7 days now) but according to the recipe, it says about 5 days before it should hit 1.030sg. At that point I need to take the fruit out and transfer to secondary. Day 6 is was 1.020 and today was 1.016. I searched out the forums but...

My brew is in a secondary and has a bunch (maybe 6-8 that I can name if I wanted to! They are ugly!) yeast rafts I sucked up when I transferred from the primary (my first time racking). The largest one is about 1/4" diameter and is suspended in the brew, not sinking....just hanging. The rest...

I started my first brew-Midwest Liberty Cream Ale. I followed the recipe kit exactly and I think it's turning out pretty good so far. -My 7.5 gallon kettle with Bayou burner boiled in 14 minutes. It cooks! -Extract in, hops, cooled it with my wort chiller I built thanks to everyone here...

I've read tons, tons of pages. Think I'm going to skip on the secondary (contrary to what I originally planned) and keep it in the bucket for 3 weeks and then bottle it. If I do this, can I just skip taking any gravity readings until I crack it open at bottling? There would be no reason...

Thanks for an awesome site and all who contribute. After reading hundreds ( probably more) of pages on everything from carboys to kegs, I just finished my first brew. Overall I think it went well. I started off with a light ale as recommended for my first brew. My starting gravity was...

Newbie here.... Forgot to get the grains crushed.... After reading pages and pages on this topic, I attempted and crushed them myself. It took awhile and used a rolling pin just enough where I could see they cracked. I'm sure theyre all not cracked... Should I make a run and buy new...

Great site. Great information and thanks to everyone who contributes. As a newbie I've been glued this site making sure my first brew will go well. (starting it in 3 days!) My question: Using Wyeast 1056-ferm temp recommended at 60-72 degrees. My primary will be placed above the...
