I am working on putting together my electric brewery. I have an 8" foot run to work with. My plan is to build a counter which includes room for my three vessels plus a stainless sink. I do not have a huge budget to work with. I thought of building a base and then putting on a premolded Formica...

I seem to get only 5 gallons of pre boil wort (targeting 7) by the time I reach 1.010 gravity reading from the drain. Yet I am hitting 85% efficiency on the 5 gallons. What can I do different?

Brewed an all grain Lagunitas LSS clone 5 weeks ago. Expensive recipe. Hooked up to my beer line (bev seal) two days ago for the first pull....delicious. Bought LSS at the store today for a taste and color comparison. Tried to pull a pint and only got end of keg sputtering. WTF???? Opened...

I had a problem when siphoning from my Carboy into my keg. The siphon hose would naturally curl and I had a hard time keeping it on the bottom to minimize aeration. Solution: I bought a 1/2 OD Pex pipe and attached it to the bottom of my hose. Works perfect. If anybody else has a better solution...

I sent away for a water report, bought a PH meter, purchased some salts and acids and cannot figure out what to do with them!!! I just started brewing (3 batches) all grain and want to get my water dialed in. Where do I start? Nothing complex, balanced profile, and specifically want to...

Should I hook up my beverage lines immediately to my keg after racking or wait until carbing & conditioning is complete. In other words, will the beer in the lines carbonate and condition at all or the same rate as the actual beer in the keg. The reason I am asking is that I am new to...

I will be brewing my first all grain batch using 10 gallon converted round coolers. Even made my own mash paddle. Any quick tips that the group can provide so I don't learn the hard way? I have 8 extract brews under my belt which have turned out great (minus the first one which fermented at...

I have 5 gallons of a black IPA which has been in the primary for 7 days. I am a fairly new brewer (about 8 extract recipes) and my typical process has been to leave in the primary for 3 weeks, which takes out the doubt of whether fermentation is complete and reduces checking gravity too often...

New to home brewing and the forums. Brewed my second batch today, the blue moon clone extract kit from AHS. Couple of questions: - My OG was 1.056. Could not find reference to what it should be. Does this sound right? - I have been reading the boards and most say secondary fermentation is not...
