Hello fellow HBTers, I was wondering if anyone on here has personally brewed or drank a version of Randy Mosher's Saison Buffoon from Radical Brewing? I have both the french and belgian saison yeasts from Wyeast and wanted to do a 10 gal batch to split. Im concerned after doing research...

Hello fellow homebrew talkers, I have recently made a chipotle chile beer. When I racked it into the keg, the hydrometer sample I took tasted way too spicy. Is there anyone out there who has had this problem in the past? Is there any way to dull down the spiciness or is it a lost cause? :confused:

So i've noticed that some of my cloudy brews (wits, weizens, etc.) are cloudy and have nice profile at first but after a week or so they start to turn noticeably more clear. Any input as to why this is happening? If it helps, I currently keg all of my beer. I also frequently ferment at higher...

Hello. I am new to brewing lambics and had some questions aout primary fermentation. I am using the frumentacious framboise recipe in papazian's book: the homebrewer's companion. In the directions it says, "... if you are using glass fermenters, you will need to split the 5.5 gal batch evenly...

So last night I brewed a dunkelweizen (similar to arkador's recipe) and used wyeast 1010 American wheat. Today, upon getting home from school, there was insanely active fermentation taking place. This does not concern me as I used a blowoff. However, what did concern me was that there was beer...

So i've been using nothing but cornelius type kegs since I started kegging and love them! But I recently got some free firestone kegs and have a few questions. I noticed that the poppets don't come out as easily on the firestone kegs. I applied a little bit of pressure on the top and they didn't...

So I have some extra mt hood hop pellets laying around and was wondering if anyone knew of some styles and/or recipes in which these work well. So far I have used them in wits and in pale ales. Any ideas?

So im somewhat of a newbie when it comes to kegging and i had a ?. My beer is carbonated and Im using my new perlick 525SS faucets for the 1st time. I purged all of the air out of the kegs using the pressure relief valves on the top and set both gas lines to 10 psi to serve. However beer...

Ok so I've kegged before. However, I have only done so by priming the keg with sugar and using a portable CO2 charger to dispense the tasty stuff. Ive upgraded recently thanx to kegconection's awesome prices and have a few ?s. All of the equipment (faucets, shanks, lines, regulator, tank) is...

I am having trouble drilling the hole for my shank in my kegerator. Whenever I go to drill the hole, the bit moves around on me. Anyone know of any tips to help keep it from doing this? I've already scratched up the paint on it pretty good and am looking to minimize this as much as possible.

I have recently been altering previous recipes and the following is what I came up with for SWMBO's birthday. Any input is greatly appreciated. Basically, my only concern is if I have too much adjunct (the orange peel, star anise, corriander, and grains of paradise) and their respective flavors...

Does any one know of a partial mash clone recipe for the lost coast great white witbier? I'm brewing it for SWMBO's birthday so any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

I recently heard somewhere that using Iodophor to sanitize a corny keg is not a good idea as it is harmful to stainless. Is this true? I have never heard of this before and, as I use Iodophor, I am concerned that I should not be using Iodophor in the future.

Hey guys. So I've been looking for a recipe for a blackberry wit with no results. I was wondering if i should just brew a wit as I normally would (with orange peel and coriander) and then add a blackberry concentrate to the secondary. This concentrate will be made by mashing up around half a...

I am planning on using a dual body CO2 Beer regulator to dispense/carb two beers at one time... would i need an air distributor to serve multiple kegs?

The quick disconnect on the out port of my keg is stuck. Ive tried running hot water over it (as it has been in the fridge for about a week and a half) with no avail. Any tips or advice to get it off/ prevent this from happening in the future?

Hello, I recently found a thread somewhere on the site for a kegging kit that included 3 - 5 gal. corny kegs, a 5 lb co2 tank, regulator, and all the lines, quick disonnects, etc. However, I cannot seem to find this thread that contained the website offering this kit. Just my luck, when i...

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to seal a corny keg without using a CO2 tank and regulator? I've tried carbing a keg before using priming sugar. However, this being my first time kegging, after 2 weeks I discovered that the beer was not carbonated at all. So I had to succumb to...
