One quick note, I was thinking of leaving it at room temperature.

Hi Homebrewers, I've been researching when to keg my beer and found a few answers on HBT, but I want to make sure that what I found is still a best practice. Basically, the thread said I can keg my brew after about 10 days (I'll check gravity first, of course), fill it with 30psi co2...

Thanks for the help! I'll let it sit for now. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

in :)

Hi Homebrewers, I'm about to move my beer to the secondary and I noticed these bubbles floating on the top. I'll take a taste when I transfer to see if it's off, but is my beer infected? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm in!! :mug:

Ah, thanks for that info, hunter. Being a newb, I thought keeping the co2 pressure up would deplete my tank while I was away. :mug:

Thanks for the advice! I have a chest freezer which I'm turning into a keezer, but I haven't plugged it in yet. If I don't force carb or keep it hooked up to the co2 tank, would it make sense to add sugar to the brew so that it stays carbonated and keeps the pressure up?

Hi homebrewers, This is my first time kegging, but I'm about to leave for my honeymoon. Should I add my brew to the keg, hit it with a little co2 to seal the lid (and if so, how much?) or should I force carb and let it sit? I'm leaving tomorrow and won't be back until August. Thanks much!

Thanks, tx. So storing it at room temperature won't have any detrimental effects on the brew? I found some info that said if you carb with sugar, the keg may not seal completely because there isn't enough pressure. Has that happened to anyone?

Hi Homebrewers, I just bought two corny kegs and have a 7 cu ft chest freezer arriving next Tuesday. I have plans to set the keezer up after I get back from my honeymoon in August, but I do have a batch of IPA that I'd like to transfer to a keg instead of bottle. My question is, what should I...

I am in, sir! Thank you!

Thanks for the help, guys! :mug:

Hi Homebrewers, I'm brewing up a double IPA and I set up a blowoff tube a few days ago when I saw that the bubbles were approaching the airlock. It's calmed down now, but I'm happy I caught it early because the bubbles were running through the blowoff tube like crazy. So, my question is, do I...

Hi all, I'm in the middle of making my first batch of cider and I'm not sure when I should first check the gravity. It started at 1.056 and I used cuvée yeast. How long should I let this sit before checking the gravity again? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This sounds awesome. I've followed you on Facebook and will check out the blog. Cheers and good luck! :mug:

Follow up question - I used a single packet of Red Star Premier Cuvee yeast for a 2.5 gallon fermentation. It's .176 oz or 5 grams. Is that enough, too much, or too little?

Hi Homebrewers, I just started my first cider brew. Should I cover my carboy with something (like a sweater) to keep it in the dark or does that not matter for cider?

Hi all, I live in West Babylon and I needed some emergency supplies so I headed to Arbor in Islip to pick them up (10 minutes before they close!). It was the first I've been there, but they seem to have a good selection. Does anyone else have recommendation of brewing supply joints on the...

Thanks for the recommendation. Do you know if the print version is up to date as well?
