I've got 41 standard brown bottles up for grabs. Cleaned out but still have the labels on them. Had all the intentions of bottling from the keg, but that just never panned out... Location is Collingswood, NJ

I have one of those nukatap counter pressure bottle fillers that attaches to a faucet on my keggeraror. Bottles are then sanitized and filled with the gizmo from the keg. I filled a few on Friday night. And on Saturday, it tastes stale already. I assume it's an oxidized flavor. I put a few...

Short question... If I connect the off-gas of my fermenter to an empty keg, will it produce enough CO2 to completely (within reason) replace all air with CO2? What about if I connect two kegs in series, will it be enough to flush both of them all of air? Longer story... Currently, I ferment in...

I'm thinking of putting my CO2 tank in my basement and run an eva barrier line to the upstairs kegerator. Might be ~20ft or so. I know EvaBarrier is good at reducing oxygen ingress but is there a limit with how long the line is vs how much O2 gets in?

I've only used Verdant once in a hazy type of IPA, but somehow I have 6 packs of the yeast... I'm making an American/West Coast (ish) IPA with the recipe below. I'd normally use US-05 for something like this, but since I have a bunch of Verdant, I thought maybe I'd use it here. Anyone have...

Just bought a 4 body secondary regulator without really thinking of where it'll go. I don't think I can mount it on the inside of the collar and have enough room to pull kegs in and out. And don't want it outside for looks. Does anyone have any experience mounting a regulator to the inside of...

Finally getting to brew after a while and moving. Since it's a gorgeous day out in South Jersey, figured I'll brew outside. Aww a few bees flying around out here and though, huh, hope they don't go into the beer (not thinking they actually will). Well, not only one, but two ended up in there...

I have a CO2 tank that, when turning the tank knob, I hear a hissing sound. Seems like it's coming from the tank itself and not from the regulator. I assume this is possible but I never noticed it before, and I've been using this tank for the better part of 2 years at this point (albeit it's...

In my keezer, I've got one keg which after every pour, tiny bubbles of what I assume is CO2 form in the beer line between the keg and faucet. After a while, most of the line is gas and results in a foamy pour. However, the other keg I've got in there is perfectly fine. Keezer temperature...

For my keezer, I've got an Inkbird temperature controller with the probe in a gallon jug of water inside. The jug is sitting on a small panel of styrofoam to insulate it from the floor (similar for the wall it is near). The controller is set to 36F +/- 3F. When I poured a pint yesterday, just...

I calculate my mash efficiency at both pre-boil and post-boil. Given that gravity*volume is constant during the boil, the mash efficiency should theoretically be the same between the two. I usually brew with a 15gal kettle and the differences between the two calculations were maybe 2...

Not new to brewing, but new to Philly! Been brewing seriously for the better part of 2 years in upstate NY, but moved down to Philly recently. Looking for some homebrew shop recommendations and maybe a club or whatnot. Or, just suggestions in general (good breweries, restaurants, whatever)...

I have a little over 120 bottles I've been collecting. All are at least rinsed out. Some are new. Some have labels. As I said, they are free for whoever wants them. I'm in Schenectady NY. Message me if ya want them! First come first serve type of thing

Last night I went to a local brewery and got an american IPA (with centennial) and a NEIPA (with mosaic). They both tasted different and correct for the style, but there was this aftertaste that was consistent between the two (not a bad thing). I'm terrible at describing what it tastes like...

Recently whenever I place an order for anything on homebrewing.org (Adventures In Homebrewing), my orders are always declined, claiming something wrong with the credit card. I've used multiple cards, tried to pay with paypal, used different computers, different networks, buy it as a guest and...

When planning out your keezer, don't just make sure all the kegs you want to fit in there will fit based on the 'floor plan' of the freezer. Also make sure you'll be able to get them out when the shanks are installed too! I'm able to fit 5 kegs into my 7cf keezer. They're snug, but happy. I...

Against my better judgement, I ordered a NEIPA while out over the weekend. I generally don't like them all too much, but this one was quite good (Fort Orange). Wasn't murky at all, hazy but a nice bright yellow color, slight bitterness at the back end. Definitely something I could appreciate...

I've noticed that the first pour of the day from the keg has a what I will call a normal amount of head/foam (one finger or so). The second pour has much more, 3 fingers. I notice it every time and it's starting to get a bit annoying. Anyone notice this as well? Any advice? The beer is on...

I've read online that people usually need to acidify their mash, especially for lighter beers. However, every time I punch in my salt additions into Bru'n Water, my mash pH is either pretty close to where it should be or actually is a bit too low. In order to get to the right pH, I actually...

I understand the whole thing with 90 min boils: DMS for pilsner, greater hop utilization, concentrate wort for higher OG, yadda yadda... I do BIAB and boil on propane, focus mostly on APA/IPAs. To me, I can just add some more grains to the mash to get my OG. Use higher AA hops at 60 mins to...
