Hello all. I was looking in to building a randall because why not. It seems like the DIY standard is a 10" filter housing, but I was wondering if that is an unnecessary/wasteful amount of space to fill with randallizer goodies... Has anyone built one out of the smaller 5" filter...

Hey everybody. I have a sanke keg deal that I adapted to take ball lock fittings so I could easily swap between corny kegs and commercial kegs. Thing is I tried it for the first time and it didn't work. This is what I did: It doesn't seem like it should be too complicated. Gas in...

Hi there. I've been kegging for over a year and haven't run into this situation yet: I have 3 kegs I want to force carbonate at the same time and was wondering if there is anything that makes that a bad idea. I have a 10lb CO2 cylinder, and a gas manifold that splits into 4 lines...

I have a recipe for a saison that I am about to brew for the 6th time. I put the recipe together when I first started brewing before I had a real grasp on what all my ingredients were doing. Long story short, I've always used 8 oz. of crystal 20 (out of an 11.25 lb grist). I was considering...

Howdy. Wanted to throw down a Belgian IPA and was looking for hopping ideas. I was going to try and keep it belgian with something along the lines of Styrian Goldings for bittering, Tettnang for flavor and Saaz at flameout. But I've read that Citra works and plays well with belgian yeast in...

I made a pretty severely dry hopped beer that I transferred to the keg right from secondary. In hindsight, I probably should have racked into another carboy to settle again before kegging it, but too late now. I thought I could just blast out the leftover hop bits (pellets) once it was...

I wanted to make something along the lines of an imperial belgian witbier. I know that normal gravity witbiers aren't supposed to be kept around, and I wasn't sure if that was a function of the yeast strain, or the high wheat content of the beer. Maybe both? Anyway, my first thought was...

Just moved my first gose to a secondary today. I'm very happy with the flavor, even uncarbonated, but I took a gravity reading and it said 1.000. Calibrated with tap water just to be sure, so its not me... Most of the recipes I've looked at have listed an FG of 1.010 or 1.011. Just...

Okay, I've committed to my first lacto beer, and I was gunning for a gose. Now I have some questions. Quick overview: I mashed 6 lbs of wheat malt and 4 lbs of pilsner at 148. Ran off 6.5 gallons, boiled 90 minutes with 1 oz of tettanang at 60 min. 15g of salt and 1 oz of corriander at 5...

So for something completely different, I was going to try my hand at a gose. I've got a recipe, but I wanted to confirm the steps for making and pitching a homemade lacto starter. 1. Three days or so before mashing, make a 1L starter, cool to 100F and throw a handful of grain in it. Try...

Just fishing for some opinions regarding hopping of what I hope will be a really fierce 15% ABV Belgian loosely based on the dark strong style (Imperial Quadruple...?). I plan on aging it for a year (and more) and was going to target about 70 IBUs with all that in mind - about double the...

Fishing for some options here for some woefully under-carbonated beer. Quick overview: I did a partigyle brew to make 3 2.5 gallon batches, all English varieties. The web priming calculator I normally use recommended .3 oz to carbonate a 2.5 gallon batch to about 1 atmosphere (cask style...
