What’s the best type to buy & how long do they last? Before now, I never realized there was a gasket in there. Need to replace. Should I buy a few just to have on hand? Cheers!

I am throwing together a brew day this weekend with very little (if no) preparation. Originally I was thinking of a modified version of Mike “Tasty” McDole’s Janet‘s Brown Ale. The difference being with a lower ABV; my personal preference being 5.5% ish. The hang up being that I do not have...

Last fall, I placed a warm starter underneath an apple tree in my backyard. A few days later, there was signs of fermentation. I built up the starter (2) more times before putting it in the fridge. On Friday, I made (7) gallons of a blonde ale. The picture of the carboy on the left has 2...

I recently was "gifted" a 14 gallon demi-john. I don't really remember telling a friend that I'd like it, but here I am. Apparently, i did because he dropped it off last night. What would you do with it? I typically brew 5 gallon batches. In my five years of brewing all-grain, I've only...

New to kegging (4th 5 gallon batch): nothing coming out of the beer line. When I push on the beer poppet, nothing at all. When I push on the gas poppet, beer comes out. I tried to swap out picnic taps, but still no luck. There is CO2 in the tank, i cranked up the pressure for a couple hours...

I recently purchased 2 used kegs & both held pressure when purchased. I filled what I consider to be keg #2, put it on CO2 for a week & began enjoying the beer. Now I only have 1 picnic tap. After a week of consuming beer from keg #2, I decided to remove the tap to have a couple pints from...

I am going to brew in a couple weeks. I generally use traditional American hops (Cascades, Centennial, etc.) In my beers, but I recently bought a pound of Amarillo. As the subject line says, I am looking for a recipe to showcase Amarilo. With that being said, I prefer beers in the 4 to 5.5%...

Looking for suggestions: I was planning to bottle 5 gallons of west coast style I PA with a final gravity of 1.010. Due to a large amount of hop material in the carboy, I did a poor job of siphoning it and ended up bottling about 4.75 gallons. I cold crashed the leftover cloudy beer then...

I brewed a 14% barleywine which calls for soaking oak cubes in bourbon, for one month, for the secondary. I haven't been a whiskey/bourbon drinker since college. Which was many year ago. Any ideas or suggestions? I am thinking any of the following: Jack Daniels, Jim Beam or Maker's Mark. Tim
