Looking to trade a perlick 425ss for a 525ss. Thought i could deal with them not matching. I was wrong. Faucet only

So I brewed a smoked brown ale for a competition as a experiment and it turned out great. My plan was to rebrew it adding some degree of woodsyness or complexity using spruce or ? It turns put I'm out of time and I'll have to use the finished one I have. I need to impart some aroma and possibly...

Fermented a Smoked brown ale for three weeks at 68 degrees. Before sampling it I got cocky and crashed it overnight at 40 degrees. Sampled today before kegging and it's green apple slightly. I'm hoping it's just a green beer. I'm trying to warm it back up. Should I use some yeast nutrient or...

Looking for 5-10 tri clamp seals. I think there 1 inch. The flange measures 1 inch across. If you have any extras let me know. Cheers

Anyone by a bunch of pump tubing and be willing to part with 1o-15 ft or so please let me know. The best I can seem to do is 2.10 a foot. Help a brother out. Thanks

So I made a munich helles and used Cali lager yeast. Week and a half at 60 degrees. Diacetyl rest at 70 for a couple days. Now it's been kegged at 40 for almost two weeks. The problem is the first glass is pure butter and real hazy. It tastes like popcorn. Every glass after is much better but...

I came across an aquarium temp controller on ebay last night. Its the same as the one everyone is using except it has a prewired box with 2 sockets already to plug in whatever you want controlled. Unfortunatley I cant access ebay from work(bastards) so I cant link to it right now. Im hoping...

I did a five gallon batch of German helles and used the california lager yeast. My question is. Is this a slow starter like a regular lager yeast. It's been 3 days at 58-62 and it has just barely started to krausen. Also after I pitched at about 65 I brought the temp down way to far. Say 48-50...

In my haste I added 8 oz of carafa 3 instead of .08 oz to my german heffe recipe. Im brewing this for a october fest party and was trying to keep it drinkable for the non beer geeks. MY question is what should a expect. If its more dunkel ish that would be ok. I still have time to do another...

So I had an idea to use a small space heater in a chest freezer for fermenting. The heater has a built in ambient temperature sensor so I figure it will work great but have never seen it done. I saw a setup this weekend that was a wood enclosure that used an ac unit and a space heater and he...

I put a pale ale on 20lbs for two days. Took a sample and all I get is foam at high pressure. I vented the keg and adjusted to 10 lbs. It's in a keezer at 45 degrees with the co2 tank and lines. It's pushing through 6 ft of 5/16 and a Picnic tap. Have changed to 8 ft with little or no...

I brewed a english IPA 12 days ago. It started at about 1.065. Checked it last night and its at about 1.035. It has fermented between 68-74. my sample was very cloudy and full of setiment, so I dont know how reliable my reading is. I used 1 pack of 1098. I usually let my beers go a moth in the...

Im 10 days into belgian wit ferment and have noticed a very distinct ring about 2 inches tall at the bottom of my bucket. It appears bright white through the white bucket. Have never noticed this on any other batch. It was an all grain with quite a bit of additions. orange peel, coriander,ect...

So last night a pulled out my ferment bucket to get ready for the next batch and noticed it had a bit of fluid/sanitizer from the last clean. I had put the lid on it and stored it ( not airtight )as usuall on the shelf. the bucket smelled kinda foul and there were green specks around the lid and...

Planned on using an extra stand up freezer for kegging. Realized today the shelves have coils on them. Anyone have any luck removing or modifying them. Thanks.

Brewed a Mac And Jack African amber clone yesterday. They call for Dry hopping the primary on week three of ferment. I have fresh whole hops. My question is can i drop them in whole or should I use a muslin bag. Is there a difference. Maybe someone else has tryed this clone? Thanks for the help

Im pretty sure I got the process figured out but Im unsure of one item. Im assuming the steeping grains need to be crushed or milled. Do they come that way, will the HBS do it or can You do it yourself without a mill? Is there a difference between millimg and crushing? Thanks for the info.

Just finished my first homebrew. Everything went well. Two weeks on ferment. Checked finish gravity and all was good. Bottled last weekend( week ago). I was super clean. I used starsan on my bottles and when I bottled they were really bublely but was reassurred this wouldnt be a problem. Opened...
