Besides the markers on the side of the fermenter, how do you determine exactly how much went in? I use beersmith and am trying to calibrate. Do you weight the fermenter? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

So i put my gas post on the dip tube side today when kegging a double dry hopped ipa. Smelled awesome! So I snuck a sample a couple hours later and couldnt figure out why little to nothing was coming out. Then it hit me so i swapped the posts and then grabbed my sample. I seem to have lost alot...

I did this last year when I had the fermenter in my closet and it worked good. This time it seemed pointless because there were so many, but maybe if I do it from day one it will keep them from laying the eggs and multiplying like you say. I will give it a go. I feel its pointless it sealing the...

I just got a new fermentation chamber (fridge). I have a temp controller plugged in with the probe cable just in between the rubber on the door. After two weeks in primary at 62 degrees the fridge was full of fruit flies. The fridge is in an unconditioned garage (very hot right now). No flies in...

Wow, I might try that. The trouble im having right now is it hits my lips when drinking then i lick my lips. I dont do that when eating hot food, only drinking. My lips are on fire! Plus we have a wicked hot chili were eating today. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thinking of putting a few chunks of Habenero into a glass then pouring in some pale ale. Thoughts? Will it be spicy? Im dry hopping two habeneros into a five gallon batch soon, just thought this would be interesting to try in the mean time. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Nice, I will do that. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I will try cold crashing now, thanks. speaking of burst carbonating, everytime ive tried this the beer goes up the co2 line and i end up with pressure creep until i completely disassemble and clean my regulator. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I started off just putting it on CO2, then a couple months ago switched to crashing first after watching a few kegging videos on youtube. Alot of the guys crashed. I am now questioning it. Just seems like a thing people are told to do with a quick explanation and it gets passed on as what you...

They say to crash a keg prior to putting it on CO2 because the CO2 goes into the beer easier at cooler temperatures. My question, why not just put it on CO2 when you put it in the keezer? Its going to get cold anyways and whatever CO2 gets in there while its warm the better? Seems like...

Before i put this set screw all the way to the top near the screw near my thumb. It was acting all crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My thumb is on the screw that increases/decreases psi. My finger is on the screw that goes up and down and can lock me from turning the screw w my thumb clockwise increasing the pressure. I assumed this was called the set screw and only to make sure you dont accidentally increase pressure. Im...

I was getting psi creep in my regulator. Then after cleaning it twice and forcing air thru i decided to tighten the other screw so i couldnt go higher and pressure creep stopped. I thought this set screw was so you didnt accidentaly increase pressure. Does this stop in pressure creep make sense...

Maybe dry hop this thursday during primary. Check gravity on mon and tue, keg on wed if done and slow force carb until the 23rd. Maybe up the psi slightly? I wouldnt cold crash prior to transfering to keg if you arent transporting it, more time you dont have. Although you may be bringing it...

Im 20 min away. Kegs Still available? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

1. I like to do my crush the night before. No loud drills early in the morning. 2. I put strike water in kettle before bed so I can simply fire up. 3. During cleanup ill turn buckets and mash tuns upside down, put chiller on a towl and air dry. Takes forever. Need to find a way to get all my...
