I have a 2 year old Kenmore 7.2cu ft keezer with 4 kegs in it. I have a PC fan to circulate air and it's worked well for a year. However, I recently noticed that it's running non-stop, although very quietly (not sure if that's normal) and it's barely keeping at my temp set point of 38 degrees. I...

I'm in the process of building a mash tun from a 15.5 gallon Sanke keg and it sounds like the 15" Jaybird false bottoms are a good addition. My question is, should I also buy the $25 stand for the false bottom, or does it work fine without the stand? In case it matters, I will be continuously...

I'm starting to plan my electric brew system and specifically, adding an element to my HLT (sanke keg). I'm thinking of using a single gang box and I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary to put the additional gang box cover (like kal does) on the back of the gang box, instead of just...

I am going to brew another belgian grand cru and I still have yeast in the fridge that I harvested and cleaned 3 months ago. Do you think I should attempt to make a starter with it and use it? I don't have a homebrew store close to me or else I wouldn't bother.

I had a Belgian style grand cru fermenting for 9 days in my 6.5 gallon carboy and although it was still bubbling every 10 seconds or so, i had some spare time so i took the opportunity to transfer it to my 5 gallon secondary carboy. Now, a day later, it's bubbling out of the airlock every 2...

I am thinking of buying grain in bulk but I'm wondering how long the grain will last before it doesn't have a fresh taste in the beer? Thanks.

I am new to kegging and just wondered, how long should I expect my homebrew to last once tapped from the keg?

I have well water and it has worked great in all of the extract brewing that I have done even though I have never tested the ph. Now that I'm getting ready to go to all grain, it seems like more people check the ph. I'm wondering if I need to worry about it in my first couple batches or is that...

I'm planning to get started in all grain brewing and so I'm starting to collect all of the necessary equipment. My question is what is the best false bottom that I can build without getting too extreme in craftsmanship? I see that a lot of people use a stainless steel braided supply line and...

I transferred a porter from primary to secondary 5 days ago and I'm not seeing any action whatsoever from the beer or airlock. Is this normal? I did not take any hydrometer readings, unfortunately.

I have heard people say that they don't brew with the lid on their brew kettle... Is there a reason for this?

I am just starting out (never did AG brewing) and looking for an easy way to get going with AG brewing and wondering if I really need the coolers. I'm wondering if I could buy a 10 gallon kettle (with spout and false bottom), and use that for the mash. That way I can use the same kettle for...
