I have two chest freezers and plugged both the ac cord into the opposite regulator. When one of the freezers needed cold temperature it triggered the compressor and I find two of my primary fermenters (plastic buckets in one chest freezer) went to -10 degrees F. The fermentation was at two weeks...

will four primary fermenters fit in a 14.8 cu freezer?

I have a two 14.8 chest freezers and want to know if I could get 4 primary buckets in one of them. I only have the 7.9 gal buckets from Austin Brew Supplies and only three fit. Anyone get four buckets to fit and what buckets are they?

In my chest freezer last night I cleaned up blow off from a stout brewed one day ago. I forgot to put back the thermometer and this morning the beer itself hit 111 degrees. :-( Thoughts?

I transfered two 5 gallons (made two kits 5 X two) into two glass carboys. After 15 days I noticed some white bubbles on one of the carboys. Then i see I forgot to add the water in the airlock. These carboys are in a regulated freezer in garage. I know its not good but is the whole 5 gallons...

This is a Belgian Ale OG 1.095 and was in the primary for 10 days. I transferred to the glass carboy and the next few days I saw this. A lot of small bubbles moving towards the top. Its been in this freezer now for 18 days @ 69 degrees and it still looks like its fermenting. Never saw this...

Now that I have 4 secondary's with Belgian Ale in them, how should I age them? I plan to keg them so two months in the secondary and one month in the kegs under co2 and refridge? They are now temp controlled @ 65 F. To rephrase the question, do you age the beer in the keg or the secondary?

I have two 14.8 SQ F freezers (65 F). One with 3 primary's and the other with one. I made two double batches (each double using Wyeast the other WL's) of a Belgian Ale. I did use a stir plate starter. 8 hours later tons of activity in all four. 7 days later I go to siphon into secondary. The one...

I am getting a Belgium Ale OG 1.100 and would like your opinion on which yeast you would get, 500 Trappist Ale Yeast (White Labs) or 1214 Belgian Ale Yeast (WYeast). I will be using a stir plate starter. Last time I smacked 4 [1214 Belgian Ale Yeast] they all never really ballooned. Maybe an...

I did read the thread on dry vs liquid. Reading it makes me wonder why 99% of brewers don't use dry yeast. I want to make two 11 gallon batches of a 1.100 OG Belgium Ale. With a stir plate Mr. Malty says 8 vials/packs!! What would you experienced brewers do? I never used the dry stuff...

What are your thoughts on extract brewing using liquid or dry malt?

After your boil (10 gal batch) are you supposed to filter out the hops, orange peels etc to the fermenter or is that all poured out to the primary?

I have a complete CO2 beer fridge from Perlick. My very first home brew is about ready. Bypassing the bottling and going to the Corny kegs what would you guys do? Let the beer sit in the keg with priming sugar or force carbonate the keg? If force carbonate what is the best way for this?

Just received a stir starter w/ 2000ml flask. I will brew two kits (10 gal) Stone Bitter Oatmeal Stout in my 15 gal pot. OG is 1.094 I have two WL English Ale 002 vials of yeast. Do I make a 2000ml starter with both vials or with one?

I spent all afternoon going to the nearest home brew stores (75 miles), and did got as much info as I could. First store the clerk was just on his very first every brew. :( Second store I did get a clerk who's been brewing for a while but he kept yawning and every time he did that he emitted a...

Hey guys, Im Rick from Mt Prospect Ill and I am going to take the jump from buying kegs for my Perlick to making my own beer and putting this into those 5 gallon kegs (old soda kegs?). I did post my first in beginners. Yeah I need to take a drive to a home brew store and get the hands down deal...
