Hey guys a brewed a double batch of pumpkin ale and fermented in separate conicals for ten gallons in all. One fermented to a gravity of 1.014 the other was 1.018. I've always hit the 1.014 target with all batches so I'm wondering if I should mix the two in a brew pot TRYING not to aerate...

I need some tips for dumping yeast. It seems that once I hit my final gravity and dump yeast until beer comes out, I always have a ton more the next day,and the next day and so on. I don't want to risk to much oxygen coming in by dumping. When dry hopping I end up losing hops. I do have the...

About to blitchmann beer gun my first whole batch of beer and I have a quick question. I will be filling up swingtops and I know I will lose carbonation until the head space it filled. Will allowing the beer to warm to room temp and then bring back down to cold temps effect the carbonation. My...

I had a keg I force carbed an just about emptied. I made the pumpkin ale for a party and it was great. Long story short the keg came up to room temp but had serving pressure on it. I got a blichmann beer gun and was excited to use it I bottled it at room temp but beer seemed on the flatter side...

I'm taking a set of corny kegs on a three hour drive in a mini fridge kegerator. I always set and forget to force carb. Should I make any special plans to travel I am planning on disconnecting the co2 hoses before the trip but should I relieve pressure as well I don't want the kegs to arrive...

Under normal circumstances I would never add water to a fermented beer to bring it to five gallons, but is a pumpkin ale different? The recipe I am using is from a very professional source, but it does call for me to add some water if needed after fermenting? I know there is A lot of pumpkin...

My batch of beer smells like nail polish remover....but before you go on a rant about searching for why this happens listen to my scenario. I ferment in a stainless conical that is temp controlled. That rules out high fermentation temps. This batch did produce a lot of yeast in comparison to the...

I did some research after converting my immersion chiller to counterflow and read a lot about how immersion chillers cool down the entire bath to a safe temperature where the cf chiller allows the batch to sit at high temperature longer while cooling small amounts. I used gravity to cool my...

I have my love controller on my fermentation chamber set to cool down to 72 and heat up to 68. The problem is it is cooling down to 72 then at 72.1 it kicks on every 30 seconds to a minute. Is there a way to program it so it cools down to say 68 then waits until it rises above 72?

Ok brew scientists I need some gravity help. I accidentally put in about a gallon extra of water today when topping off my wart. Thinking It would throw off my gravity readings I was ?surprised to see it was .001 high. Does this mean I did something else wrong at some point or does a gallon of...

Accidentally added 5oz of sugar I was bottling to four gallons of beer I don't want bombs so I threw it in a keg instead. I realize you need half the sugar to keg condition, but I feel I can uncarb easier in a keg. What do you think?

Just converted a fridge with a two tap tower everything went fine except my tap seems a bit floppy like it can just open on it's own at any minute. Is there a way to tighten the resistance of the tap handle? I don't have any beer hooked up to it will it get better under pressure? I just don't...
