Long story short have a pale ale that's been in my kegerator cold crashing for about three months. Gonna go ahead and put it in the keg and see what happens but Amy thoughts on whether it's still good or not?

So this is probably the 3rd all grain batch on my new system and I can't seem to get my efficiency above about 64%. Did a rye IPA batch last night which didn't notice till after but the recipe was at a 78% efficiency so I shot low on my starting gravity. I am using a fly sparge for my system and...

Probably a dumb question but I have searched and cannot seem to find a definitive answer. This is only my third all grain batch and up until now have always bought gallon jugs of spring water for brewing. Its become a pain due to the extra water needed for all grain. Anyway pulled up my local...

First all grain batch on my new rig and everything went about perfect. Its an IPA and SG 1.074 and after the primary it was at 1.012. Racked into the secondary. I forgot the dry hops I was going to use so it sat for about two days. Put the pellets in a nylon bag that I sanitized like always and...

Wanted to do a trial run with the stir plate i built. Its been on the stir plate for about 18 hours so I think its about ready. How long is a starter viable for if I put it in the fridge and let the yeast fall out? Give it a day and pour out the excess wort? Or just leave it?

So I tried to weld a stainless coupler to my keggle for a ball valve setup which worked but after testing it overnight the weld is already showing signs of rusting. Cut the coupler back of and am trying to find some flux core stainless wire .035 or smaller so I can can have a weld that doesn't...

Decided to finally build an all grain setup but wanted something that was a little smaller than the typical gravity 3 tier system. Ill get some better pics once I get it home and painted.

So I am partial mash/extract batches with full five gallon boils. Cool down is now down to under 20 minutes from boil to yeast pitch with a good cold break. I try to avoid siphoning as much of the trub as can when transferring and cold crash before it goes into the keg. Question is my beer never...

Ok so I have heard both sides of using a starter and not. Up to this point have done alright without one and just compensated by using a second packet of yeast for my higher gravity brews but am curious to see if it makes a difference. Question is is a 2l starter the best way to go? I am still...

Well im still new the site and homebrewing in general but the batch i will be brewing next calls for wyeast 1098. So for all i have used is dry and had pretty good results. Any recommendations for using it as i have read some different things? Can it be used right out of the package or does it...
