I am in the process of brewing a new zealand pilsner but I am entering in a competition using 2015 style guidelines. Without being able to enter it as a nz pilsner where would it fit ? I am thinking an American ipa but not positive. Any ideas ? Cody

I'm canning each 16 oz can with 1 teaspoon of corn suger. I also have loosened my table spacer so it's not so tight. I hope that helps

I recently got a kegland canner semi pro and really like it. It seemed to can great right out of the box. I am starting to notice some leaks around the lid in 1 out of 3 cans, they are still carbonated when I open them but I am a little worried about long term storage. This only happens when I...

Half gallon seems like a lot considering I have already dumped the trub. Anyone know if other racking arms will work? I assume they will

I'm considering buying the cf10 with thier racking arm, I am curious how much beer this racking arm leaves behind or should I consider a different racking arm Thank you, Cody

Hi all, Thinking about building an electric kettle a using a 10 gallon boil kettle with a tri clamp 120 volt immersion heater. If this works I would continue the idea on to an HLT. Any one done this or have any thoughts?

I can attach it with electric tape. I guess my concern is the PET plastic getting warped

I have an all rounder that I would like to set up for a d rest, has anyone ever wrap on with a fermwrap? I am unsure of the wattage of the one I have. My basement is about 50 degrees.

Anyone bottled from a conical fermenter under pressure using a picnic tap ?

Due to time constraints I was ready to give up the hobby, but I don't think I can. After some reading I have came up with some things that may save some time. I have looked into the fastferment fermenter it wound save time racking to a secondary and cleaning two carboys plus save yeast which...

I am finding a hard time to have a brew day lately due to time constraints. I have noticed the picabrew and wondering if that might be for me. I have been brewing for 25 years. I would like to know if it really takes 2 hours and if I can use my own grains, hops, yeast ect. I'm not looking for...

Sure

I'm an all grain brewer that just had a young child move in and have no time or space for brewing. I remember when I started out 25 or so years ago buying some cans of hopped malt, bioling a gallon of water, pouring in the can, dissolve, and then mix with 4 gallons water in the fermenter and...

This maybe a strange question but here it goes. To ease my sparging labor I am curious about using a pump sprayer to sparge my BIAB. I could get a stainless steel one for hot water or always get a cheaper plastic one and sparge with warm water. I can't imagine I'm the first one to think of this...

I wanted to bottle up a batch or two but will probably have them hanging around for maybe 9 months or so. Are oxygen absorbing caps worth it? When have bottled before I wasn't kegging my brew so they didn't last very long. I just wanted some for camping and hiking this summer. Thank, Cody

When you say mash as thin as you can what do you mean? I usually use about 10 lbs. of grain to 5 gallons of water I am thinking this is pretty thin. Sorry for the newbie questions I have been brewing for 25 + years but just started all grain last year and will never go back to extract

I have a mash and boil that I treat as a biab meaning I raise the grain basket and let it drip. I would like to try sparging but all I have is an extra pot and burner. My question is how do people sparge, do you just pour hot water over the basket? I have a glass jar that I can scoop hot water...

I am currently thinking of switching from my vacuum sealer for storage and going to mason jars. I would store my specialty grain in my cellar between 50 and 70 degrees and freeze my hops. Does anyone do this and can I store them for up to a year this way?

And since my canner only holds 7 jars at a time can I put the wort in cans even though they may sit around for a couple hours before going into the pressure canner
