Well I had a lot going on and I neglected to move my current brew from primary since the end of June. I kept it in my basement and finally have time to keg it. My question is what should I expect? I am fearing mold. Let me know, I want to move this today but I don't want to mess it up...

I am looking to primary two beers at once but I only have one fermentation bucket. I was thinking of using my glass carboy to primary the other beer. Is there anything I need to know in advance to do that? I guess this also means I would be skipping secondary for both beers.

I was talking to a guy who installs beer and soda lines for bars. He explained to me the way you get your C02 matters. He said there are basically two ways to get the food grade C02, someone who gets a delivery of a large tank filled with C02 and just fill yours from there, or someone who has a...

I brewed my blue moon clone today with a full boil using my new setup outside. It was an extract brew, and I took a gravity reading after I put it in my primary(before adding yeast) while the beer was at about 80 degrees, and it read 1.062, my documentation from AHS states it should be about...

As the title states I am planning to do an extract full boil in just a few hours and I need some help... - I know I need to modify the amount of hops I add to the brew, but by how much(I have read 25% reduction) and is it all of the hops additions I modify or just some of them? - I havent...

Since walmart has these for under 40 bucks I was going to get one and do a MLT conversion. I do mainly 5 gallon batchs would there be too much headspace using a 70 qt cooler causing me to lose temp quicker?

Can I use a 5 gallon cooler for a mash tun or is a 10 really what I need. I am only brewing 5 gallon batches, but I am sure there is some kinda math I need to see if I can brew high gravity beers and stuff in a 5 gallon, does anyone know off hand if a 5 gallon MLT is okay for 5 gallon batches?

I have a 40 quart pot with a spout, a outdoor burner and a empty 1/2 keg(didnt cut top off yet, but will). Is that enough for me to move from extract to all grain or partial mash? If so a little help on how to get started from people who already made their own mistakes!

I have done 4 or 5 extracts and I am looking to see if I can move to all grain. I just purchased a new 10 gallon kettle and a propane burner. I have seen a few different methods for all grain, my major concern is can I do it in just my one pot using my new setup? Also I usually brew with kits...

Maybe my search skills have gone down hill, but besides one in which is still in the planning stage, are their any completed outdoor bar setups threads? I am looking to do a 5 foot bar, with no running water. As far as beer goes for now I am thinking of putting a tower on it, and putting a keg...

Okay so like most of us keggers I was looking for a simple way to see just how much was left in my keg. So I saw these SmartStrips and for 2 bucks I figured why not. The strips are okay. This is the deal, the stick pretty well, I put them on dry warm kegs and moisture laden cold kegs, and...
