I brewed an IPA yesterday with an SG of 1.070. Pitched some S-05 yeast into the better bottle by just sprinkling it in. I think some of the dry yeast might have clung to the neck of the carboy and the pictures below are the result of the little yeasties being hydrated but I wanted you guys to...

I have sent out some bottles to a buddy and was wondering how long he should wait for everything to settle out in the bottle. Besides the stuff floating around in the bottle from shipping, the beers are ready to drink.

So I have been doing all grain for a bit now and have been getting around 70% efficiency. I do a double batch sparge. I was talking to a buddy about it, and he asked if I thought I would get a better efficiency if instead of adding clean water to the second sparge, what if I took the wort...

I filled my first keg over a month ago, and it has been on co2 for the same amount of time at 12psi. But it has been sitting at room temp this whole time. How long should I let it sit int he fridge before serving it?

Hope there is a simple solution to this. Is it possible to detach a keg from the faucet if there is still beer in the line without spilling beer all over the place? I am sure its something simple and I am overlooking something.

i have 3 5 1/8in shanks that I got in a kit from keg connection. I am looking to make a tower and need smaller shanks. I am trying to sell the shanks, but have also though about cutting them with a hacksaw or something to the size I need. Has anyone ever cut their shanks to a smaller size...

I bought a 3 keg fridge kit from Keg Connection recently and it came with the 5 1/8inch shanks. I am planning on building a tower and need shorter shanks or tower shanks. So I am selling the larger shanks or willing to trade the shanks for shorter shanks. These 3 shanks are brand new, never...

Just got an older upright freezer off craigslist and plan on converting to a kegerator. This thing is only 4 feet tall so it would be perfect to have the taps on the top of the freezer and not on the door. My question is how would I find out where the coolant lines are running? In...

I was reading up about the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout today and noticed that they mentioned that they use three mashes to make this brew. I assume this means that they mash different grains/combo of grains in three different mash tuns and then dump it all in the boil to create one brew...

I am getting ready to start kegging beer and I was thinking about the process in which most of you go about using your co2 tanks. So I know the basics of filling the keg and carbing the beer from the co2 tank. But my question is about when you have your keezer setup with your couple of...

So last night I racked my pumpkin stout and then decided to try my hand at yeast washing. I followed the instructions but I am just wondering if I did it right or not. If you look at the picture below I have about 5 small mason jars filled and this morning they look like more is settling to...

I was just wondering if any of you just plop your hygrometer in the carboy so that you can check the gravity without having to pop the carboy open and get a sample. Would this affect the fermentation process at all?

Aluminum Stock Pot Without Cover, Stock Pots, Cookware are they fine to use or should i go with a heavier pot?

are the use of stout faucets with the nitro used only for appearance of the pour or is there something else that I do not understand about them?

I have been searching around for a thread or website that shows the ins and outs of creating a single teir setup. I have come up short. Can someone point me in the right direction? :tank::mug:
