I brewed up 10gal of real bad beer. From another post, I think I just exposed it to oxygen... and I'm going to take precautions moving forward. Thank you forum! But now I need to fix my current 10gal of beer. The kegs are filled, sealed, and carbonated. Can I do an in-keg dry hop to try and...

What size tank did you get filled for $18.95?

How long are you letting carbonate prior to putting in the kegerator? No, so I'll be switching to @Day-Day's suggestion below - got a Wally right around the corner I'm definitely switching to this method moving forward. Think I could just fill my carboys? Or do they require plastic? (if you...

I'll see what they can do on a 50# bag. I'll spend some time shopping around / browsing group buys - thanks for the suggestions! I brought the tap water up at LHBS, and they both agreed I live SO CLOSE to the water treatment facility (3...4... miles) that I don't need to worry about...

No worries at all I did whip up one of those closed transfer units. I just need to get a barb x thread fitting so I can put my gas inlet on there & I'll be ready to go. How much CO2 am I going to go through using this process? I feel like I already buy a new 5lb-er every 3 kegs or so. I'll...

That's my process - maybe you misread ;) ---- I add the water to get to 5gal and then it goes into fermentation. You got it. I'll pull it off completely. That makes an unfortunate amount of sense... I'll be making a few changes prior to the next batch. At LHBS, LME is significantly cheaper...

It was a PITA to get it on that far, but it was a result of it popping off one time. I set out one day to get it on there good enough it'd never come off again. I'm not sure where the bubbles come from in the racking cane... maybe on the "up" motion of the prime? I see this in the future, but...

I pulled the filter piece out, but left the plastic housing when I created my closed transfer unit. I'll use it as a sight glass.

Here's a pic

How would I know freshness of the LME? When I talk to LHBS, they "turn over LME frequently, so everything is fresh". They keep their LME is plastic drums tipped on their side. There's a gas line running to each barrel, but I also see them removing that line to help the LME pour faster. Is this...

I had many ounces to prove otherwise! I haven't done a secondary since my 2nd batch. Read a lot more, and realized it was unnecessary. The racking cane is interesting - there are always bubble in my racking cane, but that's with me being on my second one. There were bubbles in the first one...

Cold-side would look like this: -usually split my batch between a 5 and a 6 gal carboy (when making a 10 gal batch) -add water to make 5 gal each (tap, because using water from the store wasn't getting me anywhere in removing Sherry) -carboy caps on each one -hoses running to a sanitized...

I've made approx. 6 batches of brew (a mix of 5 and 10 gallon batches), and each has had this similar underlying Sherry flavor. I've: -changed water sources -changed fermentation vessels -utilized a secondary fermentation -used a copper coil to chill after boil -moved to a dark room for...
