I've searched all over and only found one post pertaining to this, and the solution required machining the parts which I don't have the means to do. I have a welding oxygen tank with the regulator that's compatible with the wand. It's worked fine but now have the capability to oxygenate using...

Those of you who have built out your brewery in the basement, how did you get a sink in your space? We have a stubbed out basement bathroom, could I just tee off of that somehow?

So it sounds much fancier than it really is, but we're building a house that will have a small butler's pantry attached to the kitchen. We want to put a kegerator with 1-2 taps in, but also have the counter space go across the entire space. Does anyone have pics of what they did, and maybe some...

I think I've come to the realization that I don't like ANY crystal in my pales and IPAs. I feel like the added sweetness, even at 2% of the grist, clashes with hops for some reason. Anyone have similar experiences with crystal malt?

Having some fermentation issues with a Berliner I'm fermenting with Wyeast 2565 (Kölsch). Hoping somebody has some insight. Here's the rundown: Finished about a week ago, had heck of a time getting the pH down (long story, but the L Plantarum pills were past date so I had to use GoodBelly)...

So I did another round of bottling from kegs last night, and I finally have had enough of twisting off the gas hose on the secondary side of my dual regulator to swap for a longer hose (to hook up to beer gun). I want to do quick disconnects, and I have heard people using John Guest fittings to...

I am almost to 24 hours into the fermentation of a NEIPA, and my plan was to dry hop with 4 oz of El Dorado hop hash at the 24-36 hour mark to aid in biotransformation. Has anyone used this much in the dry hop? My boil was .75oz of Columbus, then 2oz each of Citra and Strata for whirlpool...

I know with the Tilt Hydrometers, you can simply use an extra phone/tablet/laptop to sit by the Hydrometers at all times and have it record data. I have been doing some research into the Raspberry Pi solution, and it intrigues me. My question is, is the below overkill? Are there cheaper and more...

I'm tempted to start a build on a homemade glycol chiller, and I wonder, it appears that most of these builds secure the evaporator coil to the cooler, to where the cooler can't be removed. Is there a possibility of slimy water in that cooler then? How would you clean the cooler, if that were to...

I am looking to add a piece to my "mash tun" stand that will allow me to control both of my Chugger pumps with a switch for each, but both plugged into one outlet. This would appreciate be supplied from an extension cord, plugged into an outlet already in my garage. I can't seem to find...

I just finished pitching the L Plantarum capsules into my Berliner Weisse wort, and as I was doing that, I was curious how the saccharomyces will do with no oxygen in the wort? Is it possible for me to hit the wort with oxygen once I boil again to kill remaining lacto, cool to fermentation temp...

So about a month ago, I tried my hand at a NEIPA. 35% flaked wheat, added hops two days into fermentation, etc, and beer was hazy af. Now a month later, it's almost crystal clear. What happened?

I was curious, if yeast produced diacetyl in a batch, then I washed it and reused in a new batch, is that yeast already predisposed to create diacetyl? Im detecting slight diacetyl in the beer if drinking now, and this was made from a pitch of yeast that I washed and built up 2 times in a...

So I just got my results back for a local Homebrew competition (BJCP sanctioned) and my Rye Blonde scored a 21 [emoji15] The main point in both scoresheets was a very strong diacetyl presence, to the point that one of the judges stated "either I'm insensitive to diacetyl, or it has precursor...

So I have a competition I am entering several beers in, and over the past weekend, I carbonated 2 more beers to submit. One of them carbonated fine, the other I unfortunately over carbonated and I believe it's due to it not being as full as the other, lots of foam on each test pour. I am trying...

Two separate questions, hopefully someone can lend some advice! 1. I have two IPAs that I'd like to submit into the next competition here locally, yet the rules state that you cannot enter two beers into the same subcategory. The two are an all Columbus IPA and the other is a...

So I am brewing two beers this weekend, one of which I finished yesterday. Because it was a spur of the moment brew weekend, I didn't make starters, so I decided to pitch two packets of WLP001 for each. I didn't bother looking at the dates of manufacture on them, and they were made AUGUST 15! So...

So I have seen the hop filters from ArborFab and they seem to have good reviews based on what I've read on this forum. Has anyone had experience using one of these in a 15 gallon kettle? I have a 15 gallon AMCYL boil kettle, and I am wondering if I need to get the 6" or 8" version. I do make...

Does anyone use a sight Glass between their boil kettle and the fermenter (involving a pump) so they can see the wort transferring? I saw that BrewHardware has one for $33 and was curious about the benefits, or is it purely an aesthetic/conversation piece/cool gadget? I'm working on putting...

I've heard of people converting their old IC into a prechiller for a plate chiller; how would you get the diameter of hose for the IC to go up to 1/2" ID? Im confident in the ground temps now in Georgia for just straight hose water, but trying to be proactive for the next 95° brew day...
