Brewed my 1st no boil Berliner weisse following a base recipe on MTF using Goodbelly mango probiotic .This may be a dumb question, but I've got the sour on tap. I clean and sanitize my dispensing lines after every brew and I plan on keeping this keg and dispensing line reserved for sours...

I'm converting a Coleman cooler to a mash tun and looking to buy one of Bobby's bulkheads for the project. I use several other parts from brewhardware so I know the quality is good. What I can't find however on the website is the length of the shank/threaded nipple that would pass through the...

Ever have a keg that just refuses to empty? I committed myself to working on it solo last night, but nope. Thank goodness it's a very low abv stout, but I can't get the thing to blow lol. I just filled a growler in hopes of only getting halfway full and it calling my bluff, but that trickery...

Driving down the road yesterday I came across a BevAir with a sign that read, 'free' needs some tlc, maybe a recharge. Looking on the www, it looks to be the bm23? Anyway, the dispensing tower is missing and I haven't had time yet to go through the thing to pinpoint any or all problems. With any...

I have used this yeast for Tibers kolsch and it makes a fantastic brew. I've noticed that the yeast settlement in the bottles and the yeast I've harvested. takes on a grayish dark color. My starter jars, this dark 'cloud' layer is just on the top. I'm getting ready to brew again and wondering if...

Other than Airgas, where is a good place for co2 refills? Preferably in Loveland area.

Curious to hear what others think of the digital only version of BYO. I like the magazine, but honestly I'm considering going digital. Seems after a while they just pile up and collect dust. These days, most of my time is spent on a laptop, tablet or smartphone. More and more, I grab my tablet...

I've got a sweet stout that has been in the fermenter for about 2 weeks now. Fermentation is pretty much done and getting ready to cold crash. I'm not sure what is floating on top and if it's normal or not. Being such a dark beer, I can't say that I've ever noticed this before if it has been on...

Hoping I can get some feedback on my hop schedule here. I'm good with the Pale Ale Malt end, so this time around I'm really looking for the hops to shine. I think my bitterness is ok, but I want to make sure to get more flavor and aroma from the Cascades. I use an ice bath for chilling, so my...

I typically rehydrate my dry yeast. Not always, but usually. I've never used the T-58 yeast so I looked at the Fermentis site to just check out specifics. On the rehydrating instructions, it states to _stir_ for 30 minutes. I'm assuming on a stir plate. Does anyone do this? rehydration...

Been lurking for some time now and decided it's time to say hello. I'm located in the Ft Collins CO area and was a homebrewer oh about 25 years ago... I've had kids and they are for the most part (lol) all growd up, so I started dabbling in the hobby again. Many things have changed! It's fun...
