Hey all, I just brewed a rye pale ale that I have brewed over 20 times, but i split it into three 2.5 gallon batches at 50 ibus and placed 1450,1272,1056 on each for one week, fully fermented, then I placed in three diff kegs with a half ounce of cascade in each keg for three days in the fridge...

i've done both...the question i had was, of the three brews, all of them with coopers drops, target attenuated, the two with wyeast 1450 didn't carb but the witbier did....could it be the yeast?

my last three brews i've bottled and have used the same procedure...sanitized with an iodine solution, used coopers carb drops, sat at room temp for two weeks. The wit carbed fine, but the last two are very under carbonated. an irish ale and pale ale. the only difference is i used wyeast 1450...

take the orifice that comes with the hurricane burner and drill out those. don't waste your money on a valve from nb that you have to drill out anyway. can't tell you what size drill bit, i just used the smallest one i had that made the orifice just a bit bigger. and the drill bit doesn't have...

so far so good, i think outdoors you would need a wind screen or whatever. the one thing i had to do was drill out the orifice of the valves. even the ones specifically for ng from nb. now i've only done one 5 gallon batch at this point and don't know how long it would take to boil 10.

thanks for all of the tips. just brewed for the first time in the basement. had my homemade vent hood going with basement windows open, plus a fan in one window.....the carbon monoxide detector didnt even blip....and the smell of brewing was minimal upstairs (or minimal enough where the wife...

went to home depot today and the flex lines work. thanks for all your help. now the banjo/hurricane flame is pretty small. any tips on how to improve the burn of these kinds of burners with natural gas? should be brewing by thanksgiving. thanks again

thanks everyone. i've got a vent hood with a fan for ventilation with windows open plus a carbon monoxide alarm. the flex line looks like my best bet. the one piece i'm having difficulty with is attaching the nat gas valve from northern brewer to the flex line. is there another piece i could...

thanks, i didn't think the copper was the best idea. i'm going to look into the flex line from home depot. thanks. the previous owner of my house had a nat gas stove in the basement. whats the difference other than the obvious btu's? oh, and do i try to hook the flex line to the valves...

i've got the hurrican burners with natural gas valves from NB. I have the nat gas piped to my stand with 1/2 in pipe. my question is what kind of piping do you use to go from the black pipe manifold to the natural gas valve. the guy at the plumbing supply store said to use copper. Is this OK...

thanks everyone, shall be racking soon and lagering....

My lager has fermented slowly for one month on wyeast 2206 at 50 degrees to a gravity of 1025 then i bumped it up to 60 degrees for a diacetyl rest. my question is do i have to rack off the yeast cake to lager or is it ok to sit on the yeast cake for one more month lagering?

ok i'm stumped. i've been trying to punch numbers into palmers spreadsheet but i can't get it to work. or any of the other spreadsheets for that matter. everyone has been really helpful on here so if anyone could walk me through the process. i have my water profile i just don't know if i'm...

Just got my water chemistry report in my new house. I haven't brewed here yet so any tips on the report and how to correct would be appreciated. I brew all styles and all grain. So what would be adjusted for pale ales all the way to stouts. I'm just getting into adjusting the water and...

6 in inline duct fan from home depot.

i am moving my brewery into the basement with natural gas. my question is should my ventilation hood cover all three vessels or just the brew kettle. has an inline fan and good incoming air and next to a window.

Just moved to rochester ny (brighton area). does anyone have a quick water analysis? is it soft,hard, etc,etc. haven't settled in enough to brew yet. any info would be cool.

i'm converting from propane to natural gas. so what is a good burner that will run off of a house natural gas supply. i have one banjo burner now. so should i get two more banjo/hurricane burners and convert. or something else?

i just received my order 2.5 weeks after i ordered it. so not as bad as some others, but i won't go to kegkits again.

sadly, I can join this long list. i haven't been waiting months for a couple of faucets, only weeks, but i agree that it is false advertising to say you will ship in a certain amount of time. i emailed kegkits with no response. i will email him one more time, if no answer in a reasonable...
