    Fermzilla Tri Clamp top.

    I picked this replacement top up on sale at Williams brewing. This plastic lid has what looks like the top of a two liter bottle attached via a metal clamp. There is also a pressure release hole and two angled spouts for ball lock posts. (I broke the original top trying to pry off before i...

    Hazy serve from fermzilla narrative

    I haven’t seen a lot of info about serving a hazy ipa from the fermentor, or specifically the fermzilla. As of late ive scaled back my usage and although ive got conicals, kegs, and keezers galore, i wanted to try simplification with the added benefits of easy cold crash and less chance for...

    How to Back sweeten blackberry

    I did a vintners harvest can 3 gallons of wine. A sample tastes very red table wine-like. Id like to take the edge off a little with some homemade simple syrup. How much do I use? (I don't want kool aid though.) Would a small amount of sweet help it or just get lost in translation? Any...

    Fermentation- upright freezer $219 ???

    This one might be good for a fermenter for $219. It looks like the shelves are removable and the bottom is flat but not sure. (I was looking for this type deal and gave in and bought the large GE from Costco that I can jam two Stout conicals in as well as 3 gallon carboy.) Again, do your own...

    Anybody use feijoa aka pineapple guava?

    Ive got some of these feijoa about to fall off the tree and I'd like to do a beer with them Any thoughts on process? Do I want to boil or secondary? I'm not a huge wheat beer fan, so I'd probably lean toward a session IPA.These might have too much bite. Maybe I should try a wine instead?

    Conical techniques- 7G Stout

    So I need some smart advice how to use this Stout conical better. I have the butterfly upgrade. 1. How do you clean after a trub or yeast dump? I can't even see up in there. Is there a technique for cleaning and sanitizing after the dump? It seems like the part south of the butterfly opening...

    BL Commercial sorta misleading

    So they claim 4 ingredients, Barley, Rice, Water and Hops. Ummmmmm, what about yeast? This commercial is clearly an attempt to pretend the product complies with German brewing laws (that I admittedly can't spell) when in fact rice is not allowed. It's silly for these companies to mislead...

    MIni Nitro

    Okay, these mini regulators on more beer etc claim they can be used for both mini CO2 and nitro cylinders. (These are the $130 version, not the $69 version.) I am assuming the regulator is beefed up for Nitro. Anyone tried to use this to serve with nitro? IS this feasible for serving the...

    Strawberry kiwi

    Or strauperriwein, if you like. I made this using the Langers stuff from the alleged discount club. I added 6oz dextrose per gallon and shook. Fermenting nicely.Well see. The "juice" flavor was not super sweet. I had intended to carb up as a soda but it seemed kinda lame for that purpose.

    Boil Coil in the Bayou?

    Anybody tried fitting the boil coil in the bayou under the steamer basket? Is there room for it and still get the lid on? I'm looking at the 44 quart version specifically. If not, anyone tried it with another "all" stainless element? I know I can just use the bag without the metal basket...

    Fruit smelled rotten

    After primary ferm, my formerly frozen tropical fruit smelled like vomit. I did plunge the fruit pieces into the liquid twice a day. I decided to continue on, but now that I am at drinking stage I am wondering if I'll get sick or die. I thought it was probably okay, but then it freaked me...

    Lazy Keezer

    I tried to avoid some of the physical work, especially since I can't cut a straight line, and I thought I might pass on a few tips. First, thanks to those who came before, I borrowed from all of your great ideas to make a keezer painlessly and without damaging the new freezer. I decided on my...

    iodophor is wrong color

    Just mixed iodophor and it is way lighter than normal, doubled the dose and still doesn't look right. Did they change it? did I get a bad batch? What should I do? I got two batches of beer cooking up. Help!!!

    Quick fix for bad tasting beer

    Recently I had two kegs of beer, neither of which I was crazy about. An ultra hoppy crystal light left from summer, and a octoberfest that tasted of molasses. My brother who drinks a lot but doesn't brew suggested I combine them. I told him he was nuts. Well, guess what? It worked like a...

    Should I de-keg

    My beer smells and aftertastes a bit noxious (too much so to drink). It is a belgian dubble with candi sugar, and I think I may not have let it sit long enough- only about a week. ( I know, I know) Somehow, I didn't notice before kegging and carbing it because I was doing a bunch of stuff...
