I plan to brew tomorrow and I think I've messed up my starter. I plan to brew a 10 gallon Batch of Ed Worts heff. I had one pack of 3068 and made a 2l starter (200g of DME) last night and pitched yeast about 1 am. I really didn't read the directions well and i should have made a smaller starter...

According to this article http://***********/stories/techniques/article/indices/9-all-grain-brewing/1723-sour-mashing-techniques. You need a container to hold your mash while it's souring. I thought that if I gasses the corny and dumped the mash in then I could make sure that there is no air...

Ok so for the past year I have had my chest freezer split into two sections with insulation. one side has my kegged beer and the other is for fermentation. I have two analog Johnson controllers. one side is set into the serving side and keeps beer at about 38. the other side is for fermenting...

About a week ago I kegged my first two batches of beer. I set my regulator to 12. temp is between 37-40. I'm noticing that the psi is changing often. After the first day it crept up to 15. i got nervous and reset. next day it was at 9-10. got nervous again and reset. then i just decided to leave...

I've read on these forums that you can open up an analog A19 and change it so that it's in heating mode but can't find how to do that. I need to plug in a small heater i got from HD to keep my fermentation temps up. Help!!

I'm just about done with my Keezer but, I have a concern about R values and temperature differences. I have a 15 cf freezer that I've divided in half with some insulting material with an R value if 3.3 (6.5 doubled). I've divided my Keezer into two sections; 1 for kegging and the other for...

So my Keezer collar is almost done and I've encountered a problem. The cord for the freezer light isn't long enough once the collar is attached. I've disconnected it from the inside so that I can get the lid on but, I'd like the light to be functional. Where can I find the plugs to bridge the...

So I got my Bayou Classic delivered and my keggle is all done but I didn't figure the need for a stand. Dumb. I have crushed grains waiting and need to get a move on. I'm looking for advice on things i can throw together to for a brew stand.

Has anyone purchased one of these? http://bayouclassicdepot.com/tb650_triple_propane_burner.htm

I just bought a keg today. It's dimensions are 21" high, 15" diameter, and 51" circumference. I'm pretty sure that it's a 13 gallon. It was smaller than the 15 gl but, that one had extra plastic/rubber on the bottom and top. Picked it up from a scrap yard. Apparently it's been there for 10...

I've been calling around to find some kegs to convert and I found a place but, they tell me that the kegs they have are aluminum not stainless. Has there been a switch to aluminum or are these things just not right for the job?

I read this article in Zgumury: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/2498/mjzym01_Freezer_Conv.pdf I posted something in the DIY section but I haven't found the answers that I'm looking for. I'd like to split my new freezer into two sections. one for kegs and one for...

I bought a chest freezer today. 15 cu ft Frigidaire. I want to split the compartment in half, one for serving and one for fermenting. I have a pdf that i found here (originally from Zymurgy) that talks about this. I mentions that i need a thermocouple and then two controllers. please give me...

I want to brew the best tasting beer that I can. I have a spare room that I do my fermenting in and it's getting full of carboys, buckets, and bottles. I thought that My next purchase should be a freezer chest that I could turn into a kezzer. I was thinking that I could ferment and dispense beer...

I should have brewed last week or before but life gets in the way. Today I'm going to brew 3 beers (extract) a lemonade and limeade. Is it too late for the fourth? I'm making a anchor steam clone, an American ale i got from a recipe book, beirmucher centennial with dry hopping, a lemonade and...
