    Can idebtify these white spots on my cider

    It's been in the secondary for a month now, fermentation pretty much haulted before I siphoned. I have similar but not as large sports on my mead :( Smells and tastes fine so far. A farmhouse yeast was use, with cane and brown sugar. A

    Look for advice on what to add to my brew setup

    I swear I was reading something on this site yesterday but now I can't find it. I think I want to add a piece or two to my setup every year, but I am at a stand still for what to add. Looking for suggestions. Current setup. 2 propane burners, one a classic turkey the other a SQ14 8gal...

    Stupid ?... How do I install a wall mount drip tray

    It didn't come with any screws. Do I just get sheet metal screws and predrill the 3 holes? It's the kind where the whole thing lifts up off the screws to be emptied/cleaned. I can't seem to find anything online about it, and haven't had a chance to stop in at a home depot

    I don't understanding how to match a recipe's EFF % when my equipment is different

    I don't even know why I'm asking this. Been brewing for a couple years now and just started reassessing my process. Probably because I came in at 60% this weekend. Any way, here's my question. If I am following someone recipe, who say hits 75% efficiency. How can I match that if my equipment...

    First time altering a recipe, how's this look for an IPA?

    This is based off of Dude's Lake Walk. I wanted to take it and punch up the bitterness/ABV to make it an IPA. Let me know what you think. Also added Citra based off of Dude's latest findings of running LWPA through a citra hop back Est Original Gravity: 1.060 Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 6.3 %...

    Best way to add a 3rd faucet to a 2 faucet system?

    Can I just get another 2-way distributor and branch in? Or is it best to get a new 3-way to replace the 2-way?

    MLT false bottom lifted up and grain got under!!!

    Just got a 10" for my 10gal rubbermaid drink cooler. Is it possible tha it's too small and I should have gotten the 12"? I assume it lifted from my drill bit paint stirrer or when I dumped in the mash out water. Thoughts?

    How do I calculate amount of Gypsum needed in my boil... preboil volume?

    As thread states... preboil volume or batch size? I assume it's preboil but i would like to double check. thanks

    Could I use this for a fermentation vessel

    Seems bare bones, I'd have to get a key remade. But it looks like I could throw some 2x4's in there to build a shelf to house 2 carboys. Old medical fridge

    Two almost identical systems... but 7% difference in EFF. Thoughts

    I've been trying to up my eff lately, trying to determine what it is I need to do to get it up. I seem to be hitting right around 65% on all grain, while a buddy who has almost the exact same system gets around 72%. We order our grain crushed from the same online source, even our hops come from...

    Anyone care to assess my water results?

    I know there's countless threads on here of the same question, so I figured I'd ask first. We can take it to PM or directly on this thread. Thanks

    Question on regulator reaction to pressure release

    I tried searching and didn't come up with a whole lot... I have a question to how fast my regulator should react to pressure changes. For instance, when pouring a pint... the regulator will drop from 11 to say 7, then slowly climb. Maybe getting back to 11 within 10-15 minutes. If I flip...

    Half glass of foam UNLESS I purge keg first

    PSI set at about 11-12 for a set and forget on two kegs. Both kegs have been pouring about half to a third glass of foam, knocking the carbonation out and giving me flat beer. Only two things have changed, I added a second keg to the setup and I added a big heavy tap handle. If I purge the...

    How long will a drink cooler hold temp of hot liquor?

    I am going to try something new today for my AG batch... actually just started doughing in. I am going to collect my first runnings into my kettle and start the boil immediately. Normally I collect it into my 3gal cooler and use my 2 pots (10gal and 4 gallon) to heat up my sparge water. I do...

    I just got some tall surly tap handles for my meters or (fridge), but because the handles are angled they don't fit on my fridge. Is there a way to straighten out the handles?

    Need some real quick help with undercarbed

    I have 2 kegs setup for a party tomorrow, the first has been carbed for a few weeks, and I've been drinking it. The second is almost 2 weeks on gas. Last week I adjusted serving pressure and forgot to check the regulator 24 hours later. It was sitting at 9psi and my second keg is just not quite...

    Would this work for a swamp cooler?

    Someone locally is selling just the cooler and lid portion for $50 plus tax (must be a liquor store). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PI014C/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Seems like it could be a good route to take.
