What volume do you typically need to start at for a 10 gal batch so you actually have 10 gal after a 60 minute boil? what about for a 5 gal batch for 60 min?

Would it be practical to use a false bottom in your boil kettle to help keep all the hops sediment out when you transfer to the fermentor or would you be better off using a boil bag? I'm not sure about boil bags. I feel as though they might limit the hops as opposed to just putting them in the...

I am wondering what you think might be better. Using a nylon mesh bag during the boil for my hops OR using a mesh bag placed over my fermentation bucket to strain out the hops and any other sediments after the boil? For the bucket one I would just pour my wort over the mesh filter so it goes...

In looking on various posts I've seen various methods to carbing a keg. I've never kegged beer before and I would like to keg my current beer thats fermenting now as I have aquired the equipment to do it. I'm just wondering what the best method would be? Force carb it with high PSI? It needs...

what is the purpose of the sight glass on a keggle?

I would like to build a keggle. I've done some searching on how to do it but there are so many threads on here. I've seen some finished products and and some beginnings to some but I haven't come across one that is detailed. If you would, please outline a process and what parts I would need...

I have aquired a chest freezer for cheap that I would eventually like to turn into a Keezer. It is an older montgomery ward with a temperature control. It only has 2 settings, normal and cold. Cold is a deep freeze and normal puts me at about 10-12 degrees F. Obviously too cold. My question...

I've always heard that it is not good to let beer get warm once it has been cold. But I've recently heard that that is just a myth. Or at least once it comes to beers that have been pastureized. If they have been pastureized the change in temperature wont affect it unless your change in...

After force carbing should I bleed off the pressure If I want to store the keg or should I leave it as is? Also, for future reference what would be the most effecient way to force carb? Last time I hooked up the CO2 to the keg and then put them in the fridge. Or, should I cool the keg first...

What should the PSI be on a full 5# CO2 tank? Does it vary? Also, will the guage show a pressure drop if the tank is placed in the refrigerator with the keg. I haven't tested for leaks but I may have one. It doesnt sound like it is leaking. I am force carbing my beer at 30 psi. I have it...
