So, I have been using my regulator for over a year now... last week I noticed all my beer were over carbonated - So I checked my regulator and noticed it was at 20psi, I thought I must have forgot to turn it down after force carbing, I turned down the pressure down to 11psi. I check back a few...

So I got sick of looking at this dumb white box in my apartment and was tired needing to lift the lid everytime I wanted some homebrew. I always had the intention of adding a collar and taps... but I wanted so something a little different. So I decided to build a whole new top out of old...

What am I doing wrong? I am newer to AG brewing and my last 4 brew days I have been about 7-10 points low of the expected OG. For example, today I brewed up a Deception Cream Stout and ended with an OG of 1.045, which is over 10 points too low. If this ferments out to the expected FG of 1.020...

I plan to make a larger beer today should be in the 1.075 range. I made a 1L starter on Sunday night because I only had 1cup of DME left. This is only my second time making a starter so I am wondering if I will be OK, of if I should make a larger starter to get more yeast? (I was hoping to...

I finished my 9th batch (3rd AG) on evening of Thursday the 2nd, since then there has been absolutely no activity in the airlock, not even pressure to push the liquid to one side of the airlock. All my other brews the airlock has bubbled quite vigorously or I even needed a blowoff. So I know...

Edit: I had this posted in Equipment, but thought this would be a better spot. I am slowly piecing together my first all grain kit and I just got a great deal on a 62qt kettle. So I ordered a SS Ball Valve from Bargin fittings and I am wondering wheres the best spot to put it. Looking...

I am slowly piecing together my first all grain kit and I just got a great deal on a 62qt kettle. So I ordered a SS Ball Valve from Bargin fittings and I am wondering wheres the best spot to put it. Looking online I see that some pot have the valve placed between the pot handles, where as...

So it seems like summer has finally hit Portland and my apartment it warm! I have a pale ale sitting in the secondary and will soon be racking to a keg to store. This is my first summer since brewing and I was wondering what sort of temps aging beer can handle. Thanks

"I have a coil of 1/2" Stainless Steel Tubing. Over 40 feet left, no kinks. This has lots of purposes, I originally bought for a homebrewing project which I will never be able to afford to finish. Looks like the pic attached. I need to sell!!!! Thanks I also have a lot (40+) of Flip top...

New to kegging. I was planning to keg my first beer here shortly, I brewed a 5 gal batch but it seems to have a lot of trub/sediment. Does putting 3.5 or 4 gals into a 5 gal keg have any effect? If so... I guess I will bottle. Thanks

I have not had Celis for a long time and thought I would brew some. I found this recipe on BYO site and wondered who has brewed this recipe and if you have an reviews and how it compare to the original? Thanks Celis White Clone Author Julie Froehlich Issue July 1998 Online Date...

I have a recipe for an extract NW Red Ale. The recipe calls for: 1 1/4oz of Amarillo (bittering) 1 oz of Cascade (aroma) my question is I have Cascade and Galena in my freezer, would I be fine substituting the Galena (~12%) for the Amarillo or will the higher AA make the final beer to...

Anyone know where I can buy one of these: I have only seen them at kegkits... which does not get very good reviews. Or is it as simple as buying these two items and attaching them? http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=129 http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=291...

I am on a really tight budget and need (well, want) 4 corny kegs to start getting into kegging. Does anyone know where I can find/buy cheap ones in Portland, OR. I have heard of people getting them at scrap yards or from beverage distributors - Has anyone here found any places like this in...

Help! My stopper and airlock will NOT stay in my secondary! What do I do... If I do not hold it is just pops up and out. I think it is the right size - #7 in a 5 gal carboy. This has happened with my other brews but would stop after about 30 seconds of holding.

Has anyone used agave nectar instead of dextrose for their apfelwein? Is it possible? I was thinking about making a variation using apple juice, pomegranate juice and agave nectar.

Does apfelwein need to be kept in a darker place like beer does? Thanks.

I want to try this... Requiem Raspberry it looks interesting and I think my wife would love it! Few questions: I want to only do a half batch - would I be fine just splitting the recipe in have and doing a 3 gal boil? Or should I change the recipe and boil size more? This will only be...

I am going to be racking my first brew over to the secondary here in a few days and will be dry hopping. I have read on here that many people dry hop at 7 days - my IPA will be in the secondary for about 10-14 days - would it make much difference if I just added the hops when I rack to the...
