I think I already know the answer though :( I recently purchased a new conical tank (not specced for brewing, we don't have those here) and it has a scratch inside it - clearly visible from the naked eye. The manufacturer won't replace it because it was never supposed to be for a sanitary...

I got a new 2.5 gal corny, replaced all the o-rings and did a leak test. The damn thing is leaking around the plastic part (which doesn't seem to make sense??) Here's another shot. Is there anything I can do to fix the leak or is this keg lost?

In the yeast washing sticky Bernie Brewer says I've always been a little confused by the logic of removing oxygen, so maybe someone can crack an egg of knowledge on me here... Fact: The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is a function of the temperature of the liquid Fact: The higher...

So I was busy crash cooling, getting ready to gelatin when I took the shirt off my bucket and saw mold all over the lid. I decided rather not to put gelatin in and cleaned the lid. I did this by pouring basically pure ClO2 on the lid, leaving it for a while, wiping off with a damp cloth...

Just sitting and thinking, is it possible to reduce deadspace in my cooler mashtun by placing the braid in the corner and slightly raising the opposite corner while lautering? Like so: My thinking is that by placing the braid against the side while raising the opposite side slightly it...

Reading this thread has got me thinking... Is it possible to harvest yeast directly from Primary? By that I mean: Take about a bottle's worth (call it 450ml) of beer from primary just after the majority of fermentation is complete Seal the bottle (cap it) Stick it in the fridge for 3...

Watch here. It's basically an advert for the automation company, but some of it was quite interesting. Especially for those of use who live too far away to be able to visit the brewery

(Long post ahead) Now that the infections anonymous introductions are over... What could I have done wrong? I'm going to work through brewday with you guys (unfortunately I don't have too many photos) and hopefully we can begin to pinpoint where I went wrong. Some basics: Yes, I am 100% sure...

...but it had nothing to do with the no-chill. Finished up a good, solid 90 minute boil and AS i started whirlpooling I knocked the inside of the ball-valve tap on my plastic boiler promptly knocking the tap out of the boiler causing the wort to begin spewing everywhere. I had already...

Ive just finished building my new all grain setup and want to brew quite a bit while tweaking the process to try get my efficiency up. SWMBO doesnt approve of me spending lots on beer stuff so i need to find some cheap recipes that i can go from grain to bottle quite quickly. I need to stock...
