I'm going to be using a sight glass/thermometer combo in my keggle and wondering about stem length on the thermometer. I was thinking that the shorter the better as it's less likely to catch on the bag, however I'm a little concerned that it might not get as accurate a reading. I'd like to...

Reposting this from the Ebrewing forum since it's not getting any views and it's still appropriate here. --------- So I'm converting a Keggle to do eBIAB and after reading several forum posts I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed. I've got the basics of cutting the top, have a friend...

So I'm converting a Keggle to do eBIAB and after reading several forum posts I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed. I've got the basics of cutting the top, have a friend helping me with the welding and am shopping for the parts I already have. Parts I have: Sanke Keg - removed spear and valve Auber...

Made this post, changed my mind. Now I can't seem to find a way to delete it.

I have a dilemma. Winter is coming, and it's going to be cold as hell here before too long. I currently do my boil in the garage doorway and most of the rest of my stuff in the basement and kitchen. My garage is not insulated and there's the whole carbon monoxide thing. I have an electric...

When making a mead starter, how much honey and yeast nutrient would you use? I'm using a Whitelabs Champagne yeast and Wyeast wine nutrient blend. I used probably about 1 lb of honey, and 1/4 tsp nutrient (1/8 at start, then for giggles tossed in another 1/8 several hours later) and made...

I made a starter earlier this week and something came up so I can't use it until early next week. It's still sitting on my stirplate and I'm wondering if I can just leave it go for now and add more honey and nutrient 24+ hours before I use it, or do I need to put it in the fridge and restart it?

This batch I racked into a secondary (also BB) on about 5/20, just tested it for flavor tonight, there was no change, if anything it may have been worse. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I figured 3 months untouched in a secondary to condition would have helped, not hindered my brew...

I've been brewing beer for a little while and recently decided to expand to mead and cider. I plan to eventually go commercial but for now am staying small scale with home brewing. So, I'm looking to brew my first batch(es) of mead and just wanted to check for some last minute information...

So I've had a batch of American Wheat in the primary for just over a month now. I went to keg it and took a sample for gravity and tasting. It started at a 1.040 and is now around 1.010ish. The fermenter has kind of a grassy/green smell to it and the beer tastes soapy. Not quite sure what to...

So I started brewing a bit over a year ago (hooray for tax returns). I brewed up several batches in the first few months. First batch went great. Then before I could get around to bottling the 2nd and 3rd I got a job that took up a lot of my time and they never made it to bottles. One batch...
