So I just bought my first kegerator second-hand from someone off of craigslist a few weeks ago. The kegerator works great. Also, the person I bought the kegerator from gave me a beer filler. I have seen lots of videos of beer guns but this does not seem to be one of those. Can anybody identify...

Thanks for the advice. I definitely need to brew and drink a lot more beer. I am trying to find some other beer people to try my beers to actually get some good input. The only people that get to taste my beer right now, due to covid and all of that, has been my dad, who like most dads are what...

wait really. I bought the kettle second hand so I did not get a manual with it. How off are the markings on the sight glass, because they seem to have worked fine for me so far.

I was thinking more about expanding my knowledge of the brewing process as a whole. Like what book and course do you think I should get to better understand how to make my own recipes and really dial in the craft.

Hey everyone, so I kind of hit a fork in the road when it comes to my home brewing knowledge and I really have no idea what and where I should go next. So I have been brewing for about 6 months, where I have made 7 beers, 6 of them have been all-grain BIAB, and now and I feel like I have finally...

What would you guys then think would be the best/most economical/uses up the least amount of space, way to control my heat with the setup I have?

I have been brewing for a little bit and I am really interested in being able to recirculate my mash. I use the BIAB method in a 10 gallon Blichman Boilermaker G1. During the mash, I just wrap a big blanket around the kettle to insulate it and keep the temp as stable as possible. Built into the...

I just looked inside and there is definitely a nice layer of foam/ krausen on top. So does that me I just have a leaky lid?

Ok perfect, I'll take a look at it and let you know what I see.

So opening it for sec not cause any additional unwanted oxidation. Sorry for all the questions, still pretty new to all of this.

Ok, that sounds like a good idea. Would like the light from my iPhone work or should I use a flashlight?

Ya, I am definitely smelling something, but I dont know if it's fermentation or the bag. For the last brew I made using this fermentation bag, I spilled some of the beer into the bag when transferring it to my bottling bucket. So, don't know if i am smelling fermentation or just residual smell...

So I brewed up a honey wheat ale this past Sunday and pitched 1 pack of US-05. My OG was a bit high at 1.062. It's now Wednesday and there is no activity in my blow-off tube. Because I am using a bucket I can't see what is going on inside or if a krausen has formed. However, I felt the side of...

With the paint strainer bag, do you just tape it on with scotch tape? How do you keep it on without infecting the beer?

I am fermenting right now a double IPA. This Saturday I will be adding 8 pounds of frozen strawberries to my fermentor for the last week of fermentation. What I am trying to figure out is if I need pasteurize frozen strawberries or not. I have seen to pasteurize it and other people say that...

So I just added dry hops to my hazy IPA homebrew. I brewed on Saturday and today is Wednesday. I just put in 4 OZ of Ahtanum pellet hops, 2 oz of citra pellet hops, and 2 oz of mosaic whole flower hops(because the homebrew shop was out of pellets). This was my first-time dry-hopping with whole...

So I brewed a double IPA on Saturday and pitched a 1.5L yeast starter into. Fermentation kicked off within 6 hours. For my hop schedule, I will start dry hopping 1 day after high krausen falls. However, I am fermenting in a plastic bucket, so I can't see what's going on inside. How long should I...

So I will be brewing a triple IPA this Saturday with an intended OG of 1.089. I am using a pack of Giga Yeast Vermont IPA(the pack says it has more than 200 billion viable cells and was package just over a month ago). I will be making a two-liter starter(this is actually my first time...

Ok, thank you. Also, if I am using the Wyeast nutrient in the starter, do I need to add it as well to my boil during my brew day?

This is probably a really easy question to answer but I just want to make double-check. So I am brewing a 10% strawberry IPA this weekend and I know I will need to make a 2-liter yeast starter/ this will also be my first ever yeast starter. I am using Giga Yeast GY054 Vermont yeast for this...
