The last couple partial mashes I had a hard time getting a temperature reading. I use one quart of water per pound of grain. I throw a floating thermometer into the pot with the mash and there isnt enough water to get a good reading. When I try to get a reading from a lab themometer it changes...

I just got a new regulator but there was no shutoff valve attached to it. I was hoping to bottle some beers for a get together tomorrow (via beer gun), is it necessary to have the shutoff valve at the regulator? Cheers

I'm trying to attach a Y splitter to my tank so I can use my recently purchased beer gun but I'm having a hard time getting the shutoff valve off of the regulator (the shutoff valve was installed to the regulator when I bought it). Is there a secret to getting it off or is it possible that it is...

I have a 7.5 gallon stainless steel brewpot and when doing large boils my stove has trouble keeping a rolling boil. My question is whether it is safe to have a the brewpot over two burners since some of the flames will be going up the side of the pot. Thanks and cheers!

I just moved into a new place and realized that I misplaced my blowoff tube. I just finished cooling my wort and topping off my carboy and have yet to add my yeast (in a starter). As I cant get a new blow off tube until tomorrow what would you suggest I do. Thanks in advance.

I've been wanting to brew an Oberon clone for quite awhile now but haven't seen any recipes for extract so I am trying to convert an AG recipe from Cweston (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=31422). Could i please get some feedback on whether this will work? Thanks. Recipe Type...

I brewed Northen Brewer's Double IPA tonight and I screwed up my hop tea. I added the first two hop additions into the hop tea and the last two into the wort. When i went to add the hop tea to the wort there was no tea, just wet hops (fyi i suck at explaining this). Not knowing what to do I...

I'm very frustrated and have no clue what to do. I finally got all my kegging equipment and set up my kegerator. I tested my keg for leaks using the dunk in bath tub technique and everything looked fine. After i siphoned my home brew i connected the gas line set the regulator at 25 psi to seal...

I just kegged my first batch a couple days ago. I am force carbing using the set and sit method. I was out of town for a bit and when i got home and checked the regulator was reading a psi of a little over 5. Does this have something to do with the tank and regulator being in the fridge? Should...

I finally got my kegging equipment and gas tank filled. I am about to do a leak test on my keg. At what psi should I set the regulator and how long should i pressurize before I spray with soapy water? Thanks.

I'm looking for a good kit to make a kegerator. Is this product all i will need (besides the fridge), and are there better kits out there? Thanks. http://brewersdiscount.com/item5057.ctlg

I am on my second batch (Chinook IPA) and the recipe calls for dry hopping. Should i use a muslin bag even if i am racking to a secondary glass carboy? And if so how mush of a pain is it to get out once i bottle. Thanks.

I am brewing my first batch but forgot to test the specific gravity and alcohol scale before locking the carboy. Fermentation has already started. Am i right to assume that I should let it be or would it be fine for me to get a sample with the beer thief and still get an accurate reading...
