I've seen it somewhere, but can't find it now, maybe somebody can help. I'd like to have my CO2 tank outside my refrigerator to make room for another keg inside, but not sure how to go about doing it. I've heard of drilling through the wall and stuff- anybody have a link/post about how to do...

Couple of questions regarding keg carbonation. I carbonated it with corn sugar, it's been sitting now for a few weeks, and the keg is fully pressurized. I'm now ready to hook up the CO2- Should I bleed out the pressure from it carbonating in the keg before hooking up the CO2 Should I...

I'm carbonating my keg using priming sugar, and after blasting CO2 into my keg to get a good seal 2-3 times, i need to know if i'm supposed to bleed out the co2 the final time, or leave it pressurized while it carbonates. and yes, i do prefer to force carbonate, but my only tank and regulator...

I made my first yeast starter on my last batch and it worked great, but have a couple of questions. I have yeast coming today, and plan on brewing tomorrow, it is worth making a starter for only 12-18 hours? My last starter I let go for a couple of days, so I'm not sure if making a starter for...

I've got a German ale brewing, it's been fermenting for almost 3 weeks. I took a reading 5 days ago and it was at 1.020, today I took another one and it was about the same. Should I go ahead and bottle anyway, or is there a chance it will still go down? OG was 1.048

I brewed an ESB 11 days ago, with an OG of 1.060. I took a reading 3 days ago and it was at 1.025, today i took the reading and it only went down to 1.022, which still seems pretty high. Is it ok to bottle at this point, or should i let it go another few days to see if it drops any more?

I received a 3-piece airlock with my equipment kit which was with a 5-gallon carboy. I recently purchased a 6-gallon carboy and found that when I went set up the airlock on the 6-gallon carboy, the rubber stopper would blow off after only a minute. I then transfered the wort back into the 5...

just finished my first batch, and it's been in the bottle for almost 2 weeks now. I first tried it after a week, but the carbonation level seemed a little low, after another 4-5 days, I tried it again and it was great. had a nice head and many bubbles. Since then, I've opened about 8 bottles...
