Every time I use a strike water calculator it shows I should be at 160ish. My question is after the grain goes in what temp should I maintain the water at. Should I maintain the strike water temp or go lower, because I've read anything above 158 will not covert all the sugar.

So I just got done brewing my first all grain batch and it is fermenting. How do I transfer it to a keg from a fermzilla. Its not under any co2 pressure right now as I don't have the pressure kit. Can I just buy the pressure kit open the top of the beer and install it and pump without having...

So about 4 months ago I brewed my 3rd batch which was 7.0 ABV. I was and still am a noob and tasted it 3 weeks after brewing. Well I was really disappointed not to mention disheartened . But after reading enough threads about leaving it alone, I did. Well today I had a glass and all I can say is...

I am new to kegging and I think something is wrong with my keg. The last beer I hooked up to the line, I could hear it going into the beer and when pulled the release, I heard pressure. This time nothing is happening, No noise and no pressure build up. However I have only hooked thee line up for...

This is my first time using dry yeast, I know how to make a starter. Do you guys have any suggestions so I dont screw up. Thanks

I do a Secondary (I know I know). But my question is do I have to keep it in the dark to prevent any off flavors or is light ok? Thanks

I have been looking for a 7-8 gallon pot for awhile. The question I have is there a difference in quality compared to price. The cheapest I have found is at Austin brewing for an 8 gallon for $55. Should I buy it or is there a better one around for new brewers? thanks

Every time I go to my LHBS I end up spending 45-60 on a extract kit. Does anyone know where I can get things cheaper. I live in CA near SF if the helps. Thanks

So I force carbed a green beer. Now what do I do. Leave it in the refrigerator, pull it out, toss it?

Can I bottle a keged beer and save it for later?

Anyone in the BayArea want to get together and brew one weekend. Im a noob looking to learn the tricks of the trade. I have brewed 4 times so far and they all are decent. Thanks

Is there a guide or something at which temp you should boil your yeast at, or add extract. I have tried to find it, but have had no luck. Also I only do partial mash with liquid extract. thanks

So I brewed a APA and this thing is really bitter. Its in the keg right now and I am wondering should I just leave it alone for a couple of weeks and it should mellow out. The Beer taste fine until you are hit with a yeast flavor. Could this be because I stood my keg up, its was laying flat.

Right now I am force carbing my keg. I just want to know if I over carb it some how, all I need to do is release the pressure relief valve right?

So today I kegged for the first time. The advice I got from my LHBS is that let the keg sit on its side while the CO2 is connected at 12-15 psi and it shoiuld be ready by the 21st. Is this right or should I force carb. Also it sitting in my garage fridge at 40. thanks

So I made a APA and I think its ready to drink. Its going in a keg and I need it ready by fathers day. The only problem is that its not clear. How an I clear it up and keg it by then. Thanks

i am new to the brewing thing and I made an APA last week. I want to put it in the secondary but all I have is buckets with spigots on them. If I rack from one bucket to another won't all the trub come out of the spigot and defeat the purpose.
