I built a fermentation fridge with a brew pi and am going to try my first Kolsch this weekend (morebeer.com kit with Wyeast (Kolsch) - 2565) I have never had a fermentation fridge before and never done a Kolsch...so I am looking for some tips on the fermentation schedule. Any help is much...

This is my first time using something like brewpi. My fermentation control has been limited to...the basement seems about the right temp. So, I was wondering if anyone would like to share any brewpi profiles they may have?

After burning up one of the wifes plastic entertaining tables, and knocking a bunch of stuff over: It seemed like a good time to build my first stand. I am very fortunate to have an Uncle who welds and is really pretty awesome. This is the start:

My keezer is on a crawl space next to my taps, the run is about 15 feet...Should I go with the 1/4' line?

Just thought I would share some stuff from my project: This is getting stuffed into a crawl space, so beauty wasn't a top priority... Bought the fridge...about $269 I believe. Made the collar, nothing fancy, just 2x8's then some pine trim. Painted the collar with chalk paint...

My brother is getting married, I told him I would do some beer for the wedding. I have a couple brews I made...a hard apple strawberry/raspberry rhubarb cider, and a passion fruit wit beer. I wanted to make the portable dispense with parts I could reuse later...so I came up with this: I...

I had the plastic one...it broke. I got a pyrex one, it is WAY too big. Any recommendations on one?

This may belong in the beginners section, but I tried to proof 2 different packets of S-04. I tried doing the sugar solution as described here: http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter1-1.html Nothing happened. I pitched one into the batch...since they were the only 2 I had and the...

I got one of those little water bottles. It got hard, I opened it to check for a good level of carb...and POP...'sploded. I cautiously then checked the bottles, and hardly any carbonation at all. Do I need to use a bigger plastic bottle to do this?

My latest batch went from 1.070 down to 1.040 pretty quickly, it was a very murky batch and so I went from a secondary after 2 weeks (1 in the primary, 1 in the secondary) into a 3rd to try and clear it up some. I seem to be all but stuck on 1.032 though...is it because I went into the 3rd...

Just trying to wrap my head around what should be a pretty simple concept. If I start at an SG of say 1.070 and get it down to 1.030, and then cap it for carbonation down to 1.015...is my alcohol reading from 1.070 to 1.030 or from 1.070 to 1.015?

It started with a desire to partake in an old mill town tradition, and will result in...well, I have no idea...but put it this way, in my first batch I made the mistake of putting the yeast in with the rest of the ingredients and bringing it up to 160...and then not realizing I had to put water...
