Does anyone make a container big enough for a wide body sanke keg? I need to get one on ice. Insulated would be nice.

I did my first 10 gallon batch a couple weeks ago. I figured in extra water for boil off but I didn't account for the water that the grain was going to absorb. The target gravity was supposed to be 1.4 something. I ended up with only about 8 gallons and 1.055 gravity. I'm going to be putting it...

Why do you all just put the evaporator in a cooler filled with coolant? You need something else to circulate the coolant. Why not just remove the evaporator and install a tube in tube heat exchanger? It's not that hard. I have one sitting in my garage.

Well I was looking for an interesting case to put the components in. I was in my girlfriends garage and she had some old DVD players that didn't work anymore. One stood out from the rest. It has a unique design and it had a radio in it too. I took it apart and as I suspected the radio and DVD...

I got 50 feet of refrigeration copper. I need to figure out the fitting I need to go from my faucet to (I guess 3/8" hose). I have a swedging tool so I should be good with just a hose clamp on the tube end.

I'm using the northern brewer calculator, I have 5.7 oz dextrose that the lhbs gave me with the kit. The calculator says 3.77oz for 5 gallons at 65° with a Czech Pilsner. Is that temperature for the room temp it will sit at or serving temp? It's 65° in my house and probably 40° or so in my...

How much pectic enzyme should I add to 5 gallons of cider? And does cider need yeast nutrient?

I don't know what the deal is. I think it's something with the filter bag. I soak it in the sanitizer but it clogs up so fast I have to squeeze the bag for the wert to come out. I dip my arms in the sanitizer but I don't know if that is enough. Maybe I should wear gloves or skip the filter. This...

I brewed this on 6/6 and just now going to transfer to the secondary. I know it's been a long time but my son had surgery and I've been pretty busy. The problem is I have another batch on the stove right now and I was going to use the yeast cake from this batch for the next since they were the...

Here is what I have so far. It's not really easy learning how to do this at the same time. I need to add something else but what?

I brewed a Texas Blond on the 30th, racked it to the secondary on the 6th. It's now the 13th and I just took a sample and shook it. There is still co2 in the beer. The airlock has been bubbling the whole time. Is it okay to bottle at this time?

I wanted to do some small batches instead of a 5 gallon batch first. I wanted to do one gallon with apple juice, one with strawberry mango, and the third with blueberry pomegranate. I should have taken a gravity for the apple juice by itself because it was about 1.050 alone. I read that you...

My batch ended up at 4 gallons instead of five. Should I leave some sugar out or just use the whole bag?

I had a pickle jar of trub in the fridge with the cap loose on it. Well my kid is 3 and he's lately started to go in the fridge. I look in there today and he grabbed the jar and laid it on it's side. Most of what was in there is still in there but a bunch of liquid leaked out and got on a bunch...

I'm sure this has been asked before. I have flocs of yeast floating just a couple inches off the surface in the secondary. What is causing them to stay right there instead of floating to the top or sinking to the bottom? The kit included some Irish Moss when I racked into the secondary it was...
