Hello people, got a 15gl keg for my brewpot installed a dump valve on the side closest to the bottom as I could before hitting the curviture. I now have 2gl of dead space before hitting the valve. So are you guys just tipping the keg to the side to get all the wort out? Or adding more run off...

When you first pressurize the keg say with 20psi, does the beer obsorb CO2 bringing my regulated pressure down 5psi with in 8hrs.

I have Hefe in the corny sittin on 14psi forced carbonating, is this to little or to much pressure? I know this has been asked before, I just cant seem to get a definitive answer. Cheers, Scott.

My brother is friends with a guy at Goose Island brewery here in Chicago and I asked him if he could get me a keg for brewing purposes(brew pot) so he comes over with this 5gal keg, Oh no its to small, but its filled with 5gal. of there IPA, sweet. So anyway my question is this is a keg that...

Looking for the easiest way to clean my new wort chiller. Since you put the chiller in the boiling wort 15-20 min. prior to cooling does it really matter that you clean and sanitize before every use, its probably good practice to do so, just looking to see what you guys/gals do. Cheers, Scott.

Looks like a good deal for a mash tun plus some extras. Anyone utilizing this specific cooler. I think you cant go wrong for the money and size. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=83805&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults

Hello everybody. I have a few questions concerning this dry stout recipe I got from my LHBS, I should of asked him while I was there but did not come to mind at the time, plus i like a couple different opinions on certain issues, anyway. So, my recipe calls for a 6gl boil, can i do a 3gl boil...

I have a recipe that calls for 8.5lbs of light LME, I have extra light DME from a previous batch. Will substituting the LME for DME result in any off flavor or color? The batch I wanna make is a Dogfish Head clone 60min IPA.

Priming my Hefe tomorrow and not sure about the quanity of water mixed with the 5oz. of corn sugar called for in the recipe. Does two cups seem to be the norm? And how long of a boil? Cheers, Scott.

I would like to know if any of you use sanitizing wipes, and if you do what kind. I think it would be convienent to use since I dont feel like making a 5gl. batch of star san just to clean my hrdrometer when checking readings. Anyone?

My first batch I used Muntons wheat DME for a Hefe Weizen, this time IM using Muntons spraymalt extract, any real differnece in the two? and what is "spraymalt"? Cheers, Scott.

Gonna be brewing a Hefe Weizen today, and have all the necessary equipment this time( see other post, "what a failure") I was wondering how many of you actually strain the wort when pouring into your primary, my recipe calls for it, looking for opinions on this. And as far as other brews go does...

So in my previous post "So I brewed my first batch" that part I did. So what went wrong? Here is the recipe. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Yield: 5gl OG: 1.053 FG: 1.011 6lb Muntons wheat dry extract. 60min 1oz. Hallertau Hersbrucker hops. 60min Wyeast 3638 wheat. pitch at 70f...

I brewed a Wheat beer, a Weihenstephaner clone, everything went as expected except for the cooling process, I have to change something there. I didnt think it would take as long as it did in the bath tub ice bath. Next time I will use the kitchen sink, less volume= cooler temps, should of...

can you use this sanitizer on plastics and siphon lines?

Like the title says, IM hoping to make my first batch of beer today. IM gonna be making Weihenstephaner a clone of that fine tasting wheat beer. My question is after I add my liquid yeast do I stir the yeast into the wort, or just let it do its job by settling. So to stir or not to stir? Wish me...

Hello everybody, first post here on the forums, been lerking here for some time and just abought ready to drop some money on some equipment. Looking for your opinion on this starter kit. Does everything in this kit seem to be of some quality? What would you upgrade in this kit if you were to...
