Hey guys, I will be kegging from a 6bbl brite tank in a couple of weeks. I am very familiar with the process but I was wondering if anyone had any pictures or knew the dimensions of the hoses coming from the tank to the keg. I want to reduce foaming as much as possible through my sanke d...

I think its a 40A. Check this out if you haven't already. Got a lot of my ideas from these guys. http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/parts-list-for-building

I feel your pain folly. runnin out of gas aint NO fun. Especially when you have to drop everything to run out for a fresh tank. Also make sure that your getting what you pay for. I've gotten tanks that were over 10lbs short before even with a new cap on it. After some investigating and going to...

nice pics man! really love the laquer finish on it. do you plan on installing some kind of cooling unit in there or are you just serving it out of a cold keg? either way looks great. very classy in a vintage way. :mug:

serranos are great. good bite but not too overpowering. also a banana pepper would add a little sweet heat kick. anchos would add the earthiness but there hard to find not dried which i think drying loses alot of your flavor. i see you live in arizona so you may have better luck with finding...

18 days for that beer should be fine. i keep all of my beers in primary for 14 at mid-60's and do as you said (let it mellow). only in extreme cases of fluctuating temps and high generation yeast strain do you start to run into "weird flavors". you should be fine sir.

i have to agree with hex....one common mistake with new brewers adding too much priming sugar during bottling or not evenly distributing the sugar throughout the bucket. i know when i first started i would wake up to bottles busting in the middle of the night!

I figured as much but it never hurts to get a second opinion for you assume something will be ok...god knows thats bit me in the ass more times than i like to remember...Cheers hammy!

So I have some buddies in another state that I would like to send a couple of bottles of beer to. I will be bottling from the keg which is at a constant temp of 35 degrees. After the beer is bottled and shipped im afraid that the change in temperature (rise during shipping; re-cooling before...

thanx...this one seems to be very user friendly.

+2 for pacman...love that SH**

Hey guys..Just a couple of questions about yeast growth. I am doing an American Brown Ale, 10 gallon batch with an O.G. of 1.054, respectively. I have one (1) activator pack of American Ale 1056 and need it to grow for a solid pitch rate. My question is do I just follow the standard and use a...

sorry for the late response. Kegged it two days ago and left it alone for everything to settle. The smell wasnt too bad off. actually when i transported it to higher ground i sloshed the carboy a little and most of the blue mold stuck to the carboy wall. Good malty flavor and light hop aroma...

yeah definitely ice packs. Some lhbs will even give you a few if they have them. I had a guy give me some for a trip from memphis to alabama. As for the yeast strain, any highly attenuative yeast has always done me good. I have to agree with sweet cell about the ale strain choice. Farmhouse...

sorry wish is could. NO smartphone OR camera. bummer. Im racking off now for safe measure and I guess let it age a little longer in the keg. Interested to see what happens.

I have a stout that has been doing great for about 5 or 6 days now. The other day I took a sample and THOUGHT I sanitized properly, but now I have accrued a blueish bubbly foam over the top the top. What is this? Did I spoil it? Can I rack it and save it? I have five more gallons of the same...

thanks! that's exactly what i was looking for. Cheers!

So i'm adding some goodies on to my 1/2bbl system and I am wondering what size tubing I should use for a sight glass. I plan on using polycarbonate but im not sure what the I.D. and O.D. should be. Also, what size elbow would be best coming out of the BK? Should i use a compression fitting or...
