Hi, I have two batches to Keg now, Mexican Cervaza and India Pale Ale (Maybe 6.5%)... Anyone have any suggestions on carbing these beers, I was wondering can I add sugar to the brew, put it in a corny, give it a bit of gas to seal it up, and leave it for a month or two to carb away itself...

I am looking for a recipe for a medium quality lager, that is high in alcohol and high in giving the drinker 'double vision'. I was thinking 1 KG table sugar (Cheaper than Brewing Sugar, ferments fully?) and 1 KG medium spray malt, but the malt is expensive (More than I want to pay for this...

What is the best fermentation temp?, for a lager or ale?, how important is it to keep the tempature stable?... I have now started to brew at 18C. Using the water bath method (Thanks Yooper). Will my beer be much improved because of stable tempatures? Thanks guys!

Hi, I am just wondering, how long do you think a full cornie keg of lager would last at 20C (68F). Under force carb pressure?, my system is not a keggarator, so my kegs are stored at room temperature, and the beer is drawn in and chilled in a chiller before the tap. Approx alcohol content...

Hi, I came across this item on evilbay. At the moment I am using brew belts, and because room temps can go up and down, my wort tempature is up and down also... I am learning that wort tempature is very important... Thinking of buying a few of these, am thinking of dropping the probe down in...

I have a beer kit brewing, which is finished fermentation (Pretty much), it is a 40 pint lager kit, brewed with 1kg of table sugar, I have spray malt light, and brewing sugar and more table sugar, according to the pint.com.au calculator and my hydro readings, the beer is at just 3.33 percent...

Hi everyone, I am doing a basic 6 US Gal lager kit, I used 1 KG of cane sugar, to make this loopy juice, my starting SG was 1.040 and it has been in the fermenter for 7 days at approx 24 degrees C (75F)... SG is a steady 1.014 and has been that way since fermentation stopped 3 days ago (No...

I am bottling a 40 pint lager kit now (In 2 Litre soda bottles PET), I am trying to get more carbonation in my beer. If I follow the kit instructions, it says use 71 grams (2.5 Oz), I am using granulated cane sugar, and in past this has resulted in pretty flat beer for me. The online...

Hi Everyone, As some of you may already know I have been having difficulty kegging and storing my beer, every since I stopped bottling. So now finally I have a proper set up. Whats pictured below: A 2 Outlet Commercial Beer Cooler Unit 2 Commercial Counter Mount Taps Pub CO2 Bottle...

Hi, I am using a keg similar in design to the keg pictured below. Even after waiting weeks for secondary fermentation to complete, I am getting totally flat beer... I am following the beer kit instructions to the T and adding the exact amount of sugar recommended for kegging... Which in this...

I have a few Brewbuddy 40 pint cider kits, and the yeast is gone off. Like dead, because it just does not start fermentation, even when left for days... I don't have cider yeast but I do have young's all purpose yeast... Will this be OK to use?

Hi everyone, Quick question. I am currently restricted to using 2 fermenters at a time, because I have only 2 heating belts, which are necessary to keep my beers at or above room temps here in Ireland. But I have a "hot press", basically a tiny room where the water heater is kept. And this...

...OK Everybody, I'm, freaking bombarding the bottling/kegging section... But this time I'm a premium supporter so IS IT OK NOW? If I say sorry?... Sorry. I'm having serious beer storage issues. I need a solution, I have little knowledge and lots of beer. I have seen all your kegarators and...

Hi, I finally found a freezer, second hand and reasonably priced. I was wondering if you guys could let me know would it make a good Keezer? The inside dimensions are 57' tall, 22' wide and the depth is 23 inches. And the pictures are below. I haven't bought it yet, I am just wondering how...

Hi, As you may have spotted from earlier posts I am having major storage problems with my brews. I have to move away from bottling because I have no more bottles left. I am pissing around with a keg I made today just so I can get a brew in to it (I was intending on making 10 if that one worked...

Hi Everybody, Below are a few pictures of my keg, the container is exactly 25 Litre (5.5 UK Gallon) / (6.60 US Gallon). I bought it for $5, I know it is food safe from the labelling on the bottom. And I have used them before for petrol/gasoline (And left them out in the sun, foolishly...

Hi Everyone, I am having awful trouble with my new King Keg. Sorry now I didn't keep it simple or go with a Cornie set up. But I've got one of these bad boys now and I need to get it up and running proper. I put a Pilsner in to it for seconardy fermentation, and as this is a top tap keg...

Hi, I know this question has been asked here before. But I didn't feel I could get a complete answer from reading other people's questions. Also most people just casually answered "It'll be fine...." etc... Giving no explaination on what to do. I am brewing cider from a kit (BrewMaster 40...
