Is this bad when the Krausen comes out of the blowoff tube and into the sanitizer? Do I need to replace the sanitizer? Maybe after the Krausen eases off?

Ok, this is a bit of an embarrassing story, and I think I know the answer is going to be "start from scratch with new rhizomes" but what the heck - this is a question that has to be put out there. So I bought 10 different rhizomes two years ago and planted them in pots. Year 1 was ok, year 2...

My hop garden is doing really well this year. I have three plants that have reached the roof already but I'm a bit worried about what I do with them now. Here in Kamloops, BC it gets really hot from now until September, and I am worried about whether the hops might burn the tips being at the...

Making the Oddsides Pale Ale clone. Recipe calls for 12 oz of flaked wheat that I don't have. I do have flaked barley and have heard that you can sub that plus maybe some flaked oats. Would change the flavour profile at all?

Hello, I've just brewed a 11G batch of Orfy's mild Mannered Ale, and am interested in splitting it into two batches - one keg of the usual, the other keg I'd like to spice it up in an xmas style with orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Problem is my fermentation is done - 3 weeks in the...

I bought two 10 gal corny kegs and was ready to fill them this weekend when I realized that they had the dip tubes removed. One had the posts removed too. The dip tubes seem to connect using a tail piece on the inside of the keg, but this is where my confusion starts. I can't seem to be able...

Hello, Hoping someone can help. My beer smith program won't open - keeps telling me "another copy of the program is still open" - even when I restart. What do I do?!?

So, I am currently trying my very first yeast starter, and apparently this is going to be harder than I thought. Going to brew a 10-gal batch of Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale and split the batch into two 5-gal batches for fermentation - one using good olde S-04 and one in more of a Christmas ale...

As title says, I need 3 x 4" beer shanks to complete my keezer. Prefer 3/16" bore but really will take 1/4 also (does it impact famines if my tubing is 3/16"?!?) Thanks?

I have about 25' of stainless steel tubing that I wanted to try making into a coil for use in my HLT as a HERMS setup. Problem is that it is a straight long piece. How does one go about bending this?!? Do you need one of those special tube-bending tools?

Hello, I have just finished my keezer - 6 tap (3 for now). I have a 20lb outside CO2 tank with a single primary regulator. I was going to add a T after this, with one branch on another regulator for outside force carbing, and another that goes into the keezer to a second secondary regulator...

Looking for 3 of these up in Canada eh! Let me know if you have them and what it would cost. Looking for help to find cheap shipping if coming from the U S A. Also need 3-4" Shanks. Tailpiece not needed as I am going with John guest fittings.

Hey everyone. Posting some pics of my hop farm. 10 rhizomes planted on June 21st. Two weeks in and they are all growing. This came as a surprise as I bought the rhizomes fro. HOOH in Lillooet, BC in April, and due to changes in my plans, had to be stored in a fridge for two months until I...

Hey, I'm going to start my keezer build shortly and have been waffling over how to build my collar. Was going to use 1x8 oak with 2x4 lumber frame inside, or insulation, but oak is expensive here in Canada (6.50/ft) and I just realized I have a whole Schwack of cherry or oak tongue and groove...

So, My local supplier (newline hose and fittings) has failed on an attempt to get the two john guest shank/keg beer line fittings for my keezer project. Wondering if any Canadians have experience ordering from the U.S.??? Who is the best? Easiest to deal with. Looking to get 5 of each...

Hey, I have ten rhizomes sitting in a refrigerator. They were waiting to be planted but plans changed and my hop-farm property was sold and now I have to find a new hone for them. They have been sitting in a refrigerator for 2 months, and in an attempt to salvage them for this year, I am...

Hey, I have a keg setup with a 20-lb CO2 tank, and I currently leave the beer at 20 PSI (3-kegs on a y splitter been there for over a month) and the beer is easy under - carved. Plus my beer foams when poured. Something is funny here. Either the regulator is messed and 20 PSI is actually...

EDIT - SOLD For sale is a barley crusher Grain Mill. Got it with a bunch of other homebrew supplies. But don't need it. Comes with the mill, base, hopper (7lb) and crank handle. Near mint - reportedly was only used for 10 crushes. Bought new from Hopdawgs. $100 U.S. Plus shipping costs...

A supplier has recommended using polyurethane tubing for beer line or beer fas tubing. Does anyone know if this material is suitable for either?

Hello, I just am about done fermenting a 10 gal batch of Amber Ale, and I'm a tad disappointed at where the bitterness is right now. I am planning to dry-hop each of the 2x5Gal carboys I have on the go - one with citra and the other with either cascade or wilamette. I was wondering if...
