    Spigot for Brewpot DIY

    Can anyone point me to a DIY parts list for spigot for my turkey fryer kettle? I did a search and didn't find any DIY versions - only mail order pre-configured ones. How about same for mass tun cooler? Thx:mug:

    Lager Color

    This may seem like a stupid question but: I made a lager from a recipe that called for 3.3 light LME, 1 lb Rice syrup and 1lb honey plus hops and irish moss. The color is pretty dark - maybe more like a bitters or ale. I already see the irish moss pulling a lot of crud down to the bottom but...

    Sugar for bottling

    I have some cider that is ready to be bottled. Can I use cane sugar to get the carbonation going in the bottle? How much per bottle? I'm going to try to mix it with some water and boil it like when bottling my beers but not sure on quantities per gallon of cider. Couldn't find any corn...

    Short Fermentation?

    Newbie here. Made a partial grain Stout - lots of DME & LME - Irish Ale liquid yeast. Expected the fermentation to go a long time with that much ME in there. Started bubbling in just 4 hours, went crazy for only 60 hours, now on it's 4th day it's down to 1 bubble every 30 seconds. I know...

    Secondaries

    A local restaurant has the same food grade 6 gal plastic pails that my brew shop does, for sale for $1.50 each. My question is: Do I need to have an airlock on the pails or can I just put the cover on them. Anything I put in them would be down to one bubble per minute in the airlock in the...

    Stout Recipe - Extract

    I have made three batches of beer and my last Stout turned out horrid. I am in need of a recipe, something not as dry as a Guiness, but I want to use extracts and hops. I can do some grains but don't want to get into roasting and the like unless I need to. I'm a noob. Suggestions? :drunk:

    Long Fermentation

    What is the longest fermentation you have had? I have a stout going that the recipe said it should be 2 to 3 days and at day 5 I am still getting a bubble every 15 seconds and the krausen is a long way from dropping. It looks like a gooey yeasty mess on top. :drunk:

    Fermentation Lock Question

    Well, My first batch is in the Carboy and bubbling quite nicely!! My kit came with a fermentation lock, no blow off tube. The instructions said to take off the cover of the lock - I wan't sure why. Now I can see - it's acting like a blow off tube in that foam is making it's way up into the...

    Fermentation Question

    How long after putting the wort and yeast into the carboy should I begin to see some action? It's been 4 hours and I see nothing. I proofed the yeast and it seemed OK, not super active, but OK. Is there a minimum time before you start seeing some bubbling and foam? Also, my...
