    How much lactic acid to add

    Hi all, I'm brewing my first sour later today (Friday). I'll be using the kettle sour process (sour in kettle after mash, then boil). The only issue is the pH meter I ordered won't be here until Saturday. I've read that after the mash and before the souring, I need to add lactic acid to...

    Velvet Hammer Clone

    In regards to the yeast, I toured the brewery last week and spoke with one of their brewers. They use Wyeast 1728 - Scottish Ale for all their beers (excluding Golden Opportunity IIRC). On top of that, they reuse yeast for 12 generations.

    Refurbish Corny Kegs?

    Without pressure testing, how would I know if these posts and poppets are still good? The rubber doesn't feel crumbly like the lid seal. Also, I think I have two cornelius and one challenger VI.

    I got a great deal on some ball lock kegs and am looking to refurb them so I can get into kegging. :) These kegs have sat in a garage in 100+ degree heat (Texas) for years. I already plan on replacing all seals since they are crumbly. In the picture below, you can see that one is missing a...

    High ABV bottling issues

    My concern with adding such a powerful yeast to your bottles is the possibility of a continuing fermentation to a lower SG, combined with priming sugar could mean bottle bombs.
