Hello! I own a brewpub about an hour from Austin, TX and we have decided to add a nitro tap to our current lineup. A customer of ours lent me his stand alone single tap kegerator and we converted it over with a nitro tap, regulator, and 75/25 mix of nitrogen and c02. I was really happy last...

I brewed up an IPA with falconers flight hops roughly 3 weeks ago. 13 lbs AG batch. Hit my mash temp at 150 overnight. 1.062 OG. Yeast was white labs California Ale yeast. I don't know if my yeast pooped out or what, but 2 weeks in I did a hydro reading and it was 1.02 🙄 Tasted kind...

Brewed up a RIS and a falconers flight IPA last April. Both had nice OG's and very active fermentation. Circumstances and the birth of my daughter took me to Virginia shortly after. I left both brews in their primary buckets in my closet. I will be returning to Texas this summer so they'll be...

As the title states. I have had a split 10 gallon batch in 2 fermenters of my jalapeño cream ale. They've been in primary for 2 weeks. A few days ago one fermenter started showing signs of white growth on the surface while the other did not. I added my jalapeños to dry pepper them 2 days ago...

Well as the title states My foot hurts!!!! Kidding, kind of I am using my new mash tun with valve and false bottom. I added 4 lbs of grain and 5 qts. of water to it and began mashing at 152. I walked out to the garage after 18 minutes of mashing and accidentally kicked the valve to my false...

Hey HBT, I recently acquired a 5 gallon igloo mash tun and decided to break her in Saturday. My recipe was a DIPA from the lhbs. Grain bill was - 4 lbs marris otter - 3/4 amber malt - 3/4 crystal 60 - 1/2 lb torrified wheat And extracts - 3.3 lbs golden light lme - 2 lbs...

I have a noble and run to the pils from Austin Homebrew supply in the works. I had a great 3 week @50-55 primary, 1 week long diactyl rest, then racked to secondary glass carboys and deposited in my chest freezer at 34 degrees. I was super bummed to find out that 2 weeks into lagering I come...

Hello, I searched but could not find. Is the accumulation of trub in the bottom of your primary fermenter any evidence of fermentation? or is it just hop/grain particulate? Pat

Hello HBT, This past Saturday I decided to brew a 10 gallon batch of Da Yooper's House Pale Ale. I found her all grain recipe posted in one of her threads and converted it to a partial mash Credits to Yooper: 5 pounds pale malt (I used marris otter) 3 pounds vienna malt 2 pounds...

Hey HBT, I was at the local hbs today and told the owner I was bottling an edworts apfelwein tonight. He suggested I use frozen fruit juice concentrate instead of priming sugar. So I've purchased that and am about to bottle. Question: Is the frozen concentrate sterile or do I need...

Hello HBT, Went to keg my 3 1/2 week old Irish red ale. I noticed this white film starting to develop on the top of it. I am not sure if it is an infection or if I'm being paranoid? It has gone 3 weeks without this appearing, then the other day I opened it up to smell it. Re sanitized my...

Hello HBT, I have an arrogant bastard clone that didn't finish fermenting before I kegged/carbonated it. Fermented 2 weeks, has set in room temp keg for two weeks. Still totally sweet with fermentable sugars. My LHBS store suggested lallemand CBC-1 yeast to finish the job up. It's yeast...

Hey HBT, As some of you may have seen I have been struggling with my hefe and arrogant bastard I kegged too early. I pulled both out of kegerator and set them to condition more at room temp for 2 more weeks making them 4 weeks old. Yesterday I threw the hefe back in the kegerator at 12 p.s.i...

Hey HBT, Mods: This is a partial continuation of my "dissapointed in my arrogant bastard clone" thread and can be merged if necessary. I apologize in advance if this isn't the most descriptive thread, I am holding an upset 16 week old and typing on my iPad. About two weeks ago last...

Hello HBT, 2 week ago I brewed a Bavarian Hefeweizen and an Arrogant Bastard clone from Austin Homebrew supply. I allowed both to ferment at 65 degrees and kept in a dark area. Saturday (the two week mark) I transferred both to kegs. The hefe is clearly lacking body/flat from no...

Hey HBT, I have a quick question that search didn't help me too much with. Last night at around 10 p.m. I decided to make my first batch of apfelwein using edworts recipe. I used: - 5 gallons tree top apple juice (same edwort uses) - 2 lbs corn sugar (dextrose from LHBS) - 1 package...

I am frustrated right now :( I fermented a kolsch and a falconers flight ipa for 3 weeks each. I cold crashed the kolsch for an additional week and let the falconers flight sit in my swamp cooler. Kegged both Saturday .. At 30 psi with shaking Tasted today ... The FF is soooo...

Hey HBT, Thanks everyone for always being quick to respond and helpful. This forum rocks :) So I have another question for the board that I didn't see specifically addressed in the search area. I have a Texas Kolsch from Austin Homebrew Supply that has been fermenting for 3 weeks as...

Hey HBT, I have consistently made a mistake every time I brew it seems. Time for an itinerary to be drawn up ... Anyway My latest blunder was about 2 hours ago, I boiled a orange creamsickle ale from AHS. Sort of like a dessert beer, starts with an orange flavor and finishes with a vanilla...
