I dont think the bottle is scewed on per say. On the website they use pop top bottles, maybe something inserted into the top of the bottle. Something snug like a union joint? Otherwise you need a spring loaded fitting like a air hose. If it had threads it might be easier.

I just used this yeast in a Cali common and a raspberry jalapeño hybrid. So far I like the characteristics of this yeast and the crisp finish it produces. I fermented at an avg of 68 degrees for two weeks and now have it at 60 for another two. I also read on the white labs site that the optimal...

Your not boiling with lid on are you? Stupid question I know. I found the beersmith had my boil off volume to high and I was way over on my o.g and added water afterwards.

I just started to make starters and used this link http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html . It gives you an estimated cell count and you can tailor how many packs to use ( I use one only). Its pretty extensive, hope this helps

How far off of your target FG were you?

how cold was your beer when you first sampled it?

I just used wheat dme the other day and had the same issue. I just stirred the he'll out of it till all the chunks dissolved. Turned out great! The water idea probably would work, maybe buy a huge whisk.

every fermentation I have had has been different, from the one that took 72 hours to start, to the carboy volcano I had after 6 hours!!!

an english mild from this website, super good!!!!

erickrocks how did you secure the twine in the ground?? I really would like to replicate your design beside my house, do you have have some other info? Like spacing between rhizomes maybe material used?

ahhh ya I'm racking from a carboy. I was thinking of marking them at 5 gallons but never needed to. The pint glass sounds appealing though.

I wonder what you guys do with the beer you have left over after racking to you kegs. I was thinking of bottling mine but am having trouble trying to come up with a solution to carbonating the bottles if I don't really know the final volume.

Have you thougth about galvanizing the brew stand. I know couriers I work with galvanize everything. The cold won't affect steel, but the plastic cooler might have issues with thermoshock when brewing.

I recently left a beer in the primary for 7 months ( got lazy and wanted to keg it). So when I finally got my kegerator going I decided "what the hell lets keg it". At first it was bunk!!! I wanted to toss it, but after some carb it is tolerable and even good. So I say screw convention and...

My question for the vets is, how long can you store beer in a keg for? For arguement sake let's say a barleywine. Not carbed but purged of o2.

I just brewed a hef for the first time and used all wheat DME and steeped 1lbs of carapils.

My wife thinks its cool that we have beer on tap at home (although she doesn't drink beer).She loves to help me brew and I love that she has a food science background, its fun asking her questions about fermentation. Other than that I get the usual "you want to buy what? How much?" questions...

My kegerator has been operational for 1 week and I notice that it depends on the glass you use. If I pull pints I drink more, pull smaller glasses I drink less. I also have a rule that I do not drink two hours before bed and I only drink on days that starts with T's. Tuesday, Thursday...

Trying my first oatmeal stout this Saturday.
