Good afternoon, I got a kegging set up for christmas and I had a question about using manifolds. If i want to serve at x psi, if i set the regulator to that pressure it will be fine with a 2 way manifold. I would think since only one would be pouring at a time that i would only need to set...

I want to start doing BIAB or Partial Mashes then go into All grain, I can't afford a Thermopen right now so how does this thermometer look from amazon. I have a Dial Probe but doesn't seem to be that accurate because it does get far enough into my 15G kettle to get the best reading on the...

Good morning all, After a long wait (Brew date of mid-january), I tasted the Belgian Tripel i made as my first brew and I think its time to bottle. Taste pretty good and it is around 8-9% ABV right now base on my calculations. I am pretty excited to bottle but have one question. I know I...

Just had my first brew day on Sunday which was a success. I did a full boil of Brewers Best Belgian Tripel. I overestimated the boil off so I have a little more the 6 gallons in my 6.5g fermeter, but I was still able to hit the expected OG. Pretty excited about everything! Within 12 hours it...

After talking with a"LHBS" (unfortunately not that local), how I wasn't really looking to buy a million different pot sizes over my homebrewing adventures and wasn't looking for fork over the 200-250 for the pots they had (they had a small 5 gallon pot for cheap but everything else was Polarware...

Today I went to my LHBS and picked up some things that did not come with my Midwest Supplies Starter Kit that I got for Christmas. I am preparing for my first brew day hopefully next weekend (still have to decide on a pot and burner to order). I have a few questions to hopefully ensure the...
