I'm trying to build and wondering if anyone has ever seen a brewery that taps directly from their brite tanks. As in a faucet hooked up to a ~6' insulated beer line that sits next to or on the brite tank. Acting as a giant keg. We have four jacketed brites behind our bar and would like to use...

I have just brewed my first IPA of the Brew Season, (Living in Arizona with your brewery in the garage..not fun in the Summer). On to dry-hopping this weekend. I have a theory. I've noticed that bigger breweries tend to add their dry hops to their fermentation tanks right before sealing them...

Any guidance/experience out there? I have homebrew (an IPA) in my kegerator now. I've spent hours and many beers trying to figure out this over foamed beer problem. I thought I had over carbonated it a month a go. De-carbed it, recarbed at 10psi for two weeks (the old set it and forget it...

I recently kegged my homebrew and cannot get it to spit out good ol' beer...only foam and more foam. I feel as if I have tried everything. My kegerator is sitting just below 40F, my beer line is 5+ feet. I have tried every level of psi from 1 to 12 with only 1-2 psi working. Everything is tight...

Just brewed an American IPA last week. Should be finishing up in the primary today or tomorrow. Planning to dry hop but am wondering (after some research on preferences) what would be better. Dry hop for 10 or so days in Secondary, then keg... Or Ferment in Secondary for 5 days, then dry hop...

Currently I am dry hopping a Black IPA (14lb grain bill - 5gal) in secondary and am wondering how long I should wait until kegging it. It read an OG of 1.065 and has been in the secondary for 9 days. I originally planned to keep it there for 14 days but am second guessing (in regards to...

Alright. Went to my LHBS and just went for it. This is what I picked up for a 5 gallon extract brewed Black IPA. 6.6lbs Pale Extract Syrup 1lb Extra Light DME .5lbs American 6row .25lbs Chocolate Wheat .25lbs American Victory .25lbs Crystal 40L 2 oz Roasted Barley .25lbs Cara-Pils...

So I just made a Red IPA/Hoppy Amber which turned out great. Only problem is the 5 gallons I brewed didn't last nearly as long as projected. Solution: Brew more beer! I'm thinking of a Black IPA or Cascadian Dark Ale (Black IPA is an oxymoron right?) for the holiday season. Something malty...

I kegged on Sunday night (now Wednesday night) and charged at 55 psi for a few minutes then turned it off. Put the keg in the kegerator sitting around 38F. Every 8 hours or so I repeated 55psi for a few minutes and turning it off. Have done this a total of 7 times, set at 10 psi for the last 24...

I'm aiming for a solid Red IPA for the season. After a lot of research on malts and hops, I decided to start with a basic recipe (This is my 2nd batch) I went to my local homebrewers' store and checked out their classic American Amber Ale. I took it, switched it up and triple hopped it. This...

I'm conjuring up a few different recipes to brew a Red IPA for the season. I'm fairly new to homebrewing so I've just been researching for days. I want to keep it pretty basic but still have a killer ipa for the hophead that I am. My rough recipe for 5 gal 60 minute boil is as follows: 10 lbs...
