Hi folks! Is there any way to identify JG fitting (its part number or such?) I have a fitting in front of me kinda like in the picture below It has bunch of JG marks everywhere, sorta female thread and "EF P NSF-51 47" marks on the push fit side. Dark grey insert has numbers 1/4 (looks like it...

Hi folks! Anyone tried to tweak Brewferm Flemish Brown kit (Brewferm beer kit Flemish Brown) in any way? According to instructions, this kit makes only 12L (abt 3 gal) batch. And I'd like to have something closer to 5 gallons/19L, cos my GF Conical fermenter has cooling sleeve at 15L-19L...

Hi folks, I've made several batches using MJ's cider pouches and those turned out great (even their "sweet" variants). Now I'm looking for a "lower alcohol" summer drink (to be able to consume more at once), and got the idea to make MJ's pouch into roughly 10 gal (38L) of the water. "Normal"...

Howdy folks. Then I brew "full-size" 5-6gals hi-grav batches in my Grainfather 30L, I usually do reiterated mash and it keeps efficiency pretty good. Now I'm thinking to make only 10L Belgian Quad batch. So there will be plenty of space for no sparge for example. My question is should I do...

Hi folks! Questions for GF Conical Fermenter owners. Have you guys tried and can say how badly cooling efficiency suffers for <15L batches (when the wort/beer is below the cooling sleeve)? will it chill at all (by cooling the inner walls)? I'm not looking for cold crash obviously, but I'd be...

Hi folks I believe some of you have both grainfather's chiller and conical. Same here :) But unfortunately new equipment usually does not include an additional appartment's space ;) so I'd like to optimize the space somehow.... Do you know/have you tried by chance to install conical on top of...

Hi all, I see alot of recipes (in BYO mag in particular) which call for using RO water. They often start with short sentence "RO water used for this recipe". Thats it about water treatment for recipe. My question is: should I treat RO water in any way to clone the recipe (once again recipe...

Hi Folks I'm am not a novice, but it is first time I met this issue. It happened after dryhop with Centennial and Zeus - the normally easy-to-clean-off yeast ring on the inner side of ferm bucket wasnt look like a dry yeast. This time it looked more like a ring from a hardened fuel oil...

Hi folks, Need an advice. I usually let a batch to sit in fermenter for about 4 weeks (+-) and use as much priming as required by recipe. After bottling in about 80% I noticed that after couple of month in the bottles beer has much more carb than it should. Especially dark and heavy beers...

Hi folks! As far as I know, the sort of "warm" steeping is quite a common process for extract brewers. But during last year I more and more often stumbled across recipes which calls fo sort of "cold" steeping - crushed grains steeped into cold water (2-3 liters) for about 24h in fridge. I...

Hi folks, I am moving a bit away from nearest LHBS, so decided to setup a little goods stock at home to avoid rushing for every single hop pack to the shop. If I could brew alone for half an year or a bit more (5-6 gals every 3-4 weeks) without need to visit store it would be fine. I...

Hi folks, Suppose I don't have a ferm chamber and ambient temp in the room where fermentor is all the day at about 23-25C (73-77F). It won't last long but anyway, I have it during about 2 months. What you'd recommend to brew while this period? I aready have a batch of saison ongoing...

G'day all, Subject says all: is there any wellknown way to "de-gas" a sample before getting sg readings? All I tried so far is just let the sample to sit in jar for 10-15 minutes, but that did not help much. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks, May be a bit strange question, but i'm not a serious beer tasting expert , so.... If I take a sip of its head right after pouring a beer into glass - the head's taste sometimes very strong, sometimes even a bit unpleasant... Beer itself tastes great and if I give head to sit...

Gday folks, In winter temp outside I was pretty ok to ferment lager in my garage, but now it seems summer is coming :) I don't have a ferm chamber built yet but want to use a swamp cooler for some time. My calcs show I could keep temp reasonable using it. But it takes... well... you know...
