    Lagering / keg conditioning/carbing timing

    All - I've been lagering for a year or so now, and I'd like to try to naturally-carb my next one. I typically do the a quick-lager, raising the temp at 50% of expected attenuation, and then at 75%. When there are a few points left, I raise to mid 60s for diacetyl rest. After a week or so in...

    Duotight mini regulators

    I haven't seen many posts about these here. Does anybody here use them? I was considering swapping my single-pressure manifold for a few of these, but if they are junk I'd rather not.

    Sanity check - keg purging / conditioning

    I brewed two beers yesterday and I'm moving the blowoff to their serving kegs for purging. I'd like to keg-condition these two beers. They currently are sitting under slight pressure, with some Starsan in them after being rinsed. My plan (for each) is to dissolve about 4oz of sugar in some...

    Exporting Brewfather batch names

    All - I'm trying to have my taplist software show batch names from Brewfather rather than recipe names. I am currently using tapitgood, but I also checked taplist.io and it is doing the same thing (showing only recipe names). Is anybody here successfully exporting their batch names to taplist...

    Cleaning lines with tap springs

    For those of you that put springs in your faucets to auto-close, how are you cleaning your lines? I was considering cutting a piece of wood to wedge behind my tap handles to keep them open for this, but I wanted to get other ideas if possible.

    iSpindel weirdness

    I have one of my iSpindels in a Maibock that is close to being fermented out. I just raised it up to 67 for a diacetyl rest. The first 75% of fermentation was relatively normal (it took off because it was an active yeast cake from a previous beer). The last couple of days, though, the SG has...

    Yeast cake question

    A few weeks ago, I brewed a Dunkel using a couple of packs of SafLager S‑189. My plan is to pitch a Maibock on top of this yeast, and when that is done pitch a Samiclaus clone on top. The Dunkel is done, and I want to keg it for lagering. I don't have time to brew the Maibock today. Would...

    How do I speed up my crush time?

    I have a Barley Crusher two-roller mill that I've used for a while. I drive it with a low-RPM corded drill When it works fine, it's good. Often when I'm crushing, though, I can tell there is no resistance to the drill. I have to reverse the drill for a couple of seconds and then hope the...

    Suggestions for when to add cranberries

    Saturday I brewed a Tripel that I expect to hit around 8.1%. I'd like to add some cranberries (either 2 or 3 lbs for the 5 gallons) to it - it is going to be my "Christmas beer". Currently the cranberries are whole and frozen. I have a couple of sets of options for adding them: chop them...

    Bent my kettle

    My new BIAB kettle fell of the sink where it was drying Saturday. At first glance, it looked fine, but I realized yesterday that the top is bent to the point where my lid won't fit on. Since I use a steam condenser system in the garage, this won't work. It is obviously flattened some where I'm...

    So I learned something the hard way today

    I'm doing my first real spunding on lager right now - I have a Pilsner and a Doppelbock chugging along. I put my spunding valves on them after a day of fermentation. Unfortunately, I set the valves to 15 psi, with a temp of 49. Whoops. I have very over-carbonated fermenting wort right now. Let...

    What should I brew next on my 34/70 cakes?

    I have two fermentations going on right now - a Festbier and a Marzen - both on 34/70. I figured in a couple of weeks I'd transfer these to kegs for lagering and brew again. Would would be good to put on these? I thought maybe a Bock on the Marzen, but what suggestions do y'all have? Would...

    Sanity check for CO2 harvesting

    In my new setup, I'm fermenting in 6 gallon Torpedo kegs in a 4CF fridge. Currently, I start my fermentations with a gas-out blowoff tube going into a pitcher of Star San, then I switch to a spunding valve after fermentation has started to die down. I'd like to start excess harvesting CO2...

    Fermentation Controller requests

    Are there any automated fermentation controllers that: Allow for a "free rise" for heating, while still allowing for a heater to be plugged in, and Allow for schedules that change the target temp based on gravity (or, allow you to easily skip ahead to the next step of your schedule)?

    Has anybody here talked to anybody at Delta Brewing Systems?

    I'm considering buying one of their BrewTables, but I have a couple of questions about it. I've emailed their info address and tried the web chat, but all I've gotten is silence. Has anybody here actually talked with somebody at that company?
