I recently acquired an old fridge that was used for stuff like immunizations. I got it working great. My issue is, I want to put the taps for the kegs on the side of it. They would go on the wall the kegs are against in the photo. The unit has the compressor and fan on the top. How do I make...

So I wanted to try my hand at making a sour beer. I was at my buddies house (Saturdsay)while he was making an Amber. he was done with his grains and I thought "What the hell" might as well go for it. I took the grains and put them in a fermenting bucket. I added water in a 1# to 1.25qt ratio. It...

I have been brewing a while but I have been going off LHBS recipes. I am trying to learn about efficiency and all that good stuff. I usually hit my OG/FG pretty well. I do BIAB. My question is; do i not need to worry about efficiency until I start making my own recipes or is efficiency used to...

I am doing my first BIAB. My target OG is 1.088 and I am at about 1.080. I still have 30 minutes on my boil. How dme should I add to bump my OG to the target? I am brewing 5 gallons by the way.

This might be a silly question, but I bought a tower with a different connection than what I need. I need to connect it to a ball lock corny. I will post the pictures at the end. The problem is that it has a different connection. I want to take the tube out but I am having problems taking it...

Never mind. It was a silly question.

I have been working on a kegerator and I can only get it down to about 55-60. The problem is for another thread, but my question is, is this temp fine for serving beer. I wanted to get it about 10 degrees lower but it's not happening. I was wondering if that temp is fine or is it going to...

Ok, I have been working on converting a vintage minifridge and I have ran into a few issues. So I was wanting to make a temporary keg until I get a few things worked out with it. I recently received a portable air conditioner unit. I think this thing has great potential. I was thinking I want to...

The other day when I was bored and daydreaming, a question popped in my head: A friend from several years back liked to mix Newcastle and Ace's Pear Cider together. It wasn't to bad. My question is, could I brew and ferment a clone of both beers and combine them in a bottle/keg? To go further...

I have a question about my saison. I used the saison yeast from white labs 560. It has been sitting in the primary for just over 2 weeks. I haven't really seen much action in the airlock the entire time. There has been minimal action. I checked the FG it was at about 1.030. The target FG...

So, after roughly 4 months of brewing, I decided I want to get into kegging. To do this I needed a kegerator. I didn't want just a fridge/freezer one. I wanted one SWMBO would like inside the house and not stored in the garage. I found inspiration from maverick9862's article: DIY Kegerator...

This might be a noob question but from what I understand, it would be beneficial to the yeast to aerate it throught the fermentation. For instance make a large stir plate and turn it on for a minute or two every few days. Am I correct in making this assumption or is it better to not aggitate the...

I have recently begun my home brewing career. I was wanting to start kegging. I figure the first step is to get a keezer/kegarator. I googled pictures and looked through the forums and the most high speed one i found is from maverick9862...

I forgot to check the OG before I pitched the yeast. I am currently out of the house. How much of a difference will it be if I check the OG about 4 hours after I pitched the yeast?

Does anyone know where to get the recipe for this?
