Hi, I have an old Danby 4.4cu.ft "All Fridge" that I was going to convert to a "good enough for now" 2 Keg kegerator. The reasons are that I've sold my house and need something to house my kegs until I get around to building a bar in the new place. This fridge was either going to be...

I brewed up a lighter, slightly sweeter beer with a balanced hop profile that had an OG of 1.05 and finished at 1.004 (6% ABV). By itself it was actually really tasty, but today I added 1kg (2.2 lbs) of frozen raspberries. Assuming this re-starts fermentation, how do I calculate the final ABV...

I've been all-grain brewing for a year now and doing pretty well with it, turning out some decent brews that have been happily drank by family and friends (except my father-in-law, he's a Coor's Light man). So far, I've used an aluminium turkey fryer and a cooler as a mash tun. It's worked...

I've been homebrewing for a while and have been kegging in Sanke kegs since the beginning. The one issue I have though is developing a pipeline. Usually, I just try and time my fermenting to match when my kegs on tap will blow, but even if I do this right, there's maybe 3 days or so where my...

A question for all you experienced brewers. Right now I brew and ferment in my house, kegging in Sanke kegs that I put in my under-counter DIY kegerator where I force carb it and serve. What I'm about to do is build a STC-1000 controlled fermentation chamber out of a chest freezer. I plan...

As of last night I finally decided to order an STC-1000 and "build" a fermentation chamber. I've been doing a certain amount of searching and reading and looking at others builds but I'm stuck deciding what to do. The facts of my situation are: 1. SWMBO is NOT a fan of my spending money/time...

I'm rather new to homebrewing with maybe 5 batches of passable all-grain brews under my belt. I've been using dry yeast in every batch, but I'm curious and thinking of washing yeast off my two current batches. I've never tried it before but doesn't look too difficult. The thing is, I use...

Quick question from those that have experimented. I was going to brew a variation of Ed's Haus Pale Ale, but forgot to order the Vienna Malt. Where I order from, shipping is a bit pricey, and ordering 2 lbs would cost 3 times in shipping what the cost of the grain would be. Not a big deal...

Quick and probably silly question. I'm new to brewing and All grain in specific. I've brewed 4 batches so far (curious how the latest batch will turn out, messed up the strike temp calculation and the result was a mash WAY too hot for about 10 minutes or so). So far I'm mostly happy with my...

So I've brewed and Kegged my first AG batch. In the fermenting, I racked to a Primary, then to a secondary. I tried hard to leave as much Trub as possible in each stage of racking. Prior to racking to the Keg, I used Gelatin and let it sit for 4 days, and sure enough the beer was crystal...

Okay, I have a question which will seem obvious to those with experience but I don't really know the answer. I've brewed two AG batches so far (one kegged, one still in the primary). I'm using glass Carboys for fermenting. So far I've been using dry yeast without a starter as well. Here's...

Like all the other ones I've seen here, I'm someone that has a name but I'm jus not talented enough to come up with a good beer co logo. The name I have is Doran Creek Brew Co. Named after a spring fed, crystal clear creek complete with waterfalls (all very picturesque) that runs through...

I've done a lot of searching on OG and a lot of reading, but I have a question that I didn't see really answered anywhere (although I'm sure it has been answered 7,179,834 times before). I just brewed my second batch of All-Grain today, and the OG came in at a temperature-corrected 1.045. The...

Hi. Okay, I'm new to home Kegging. I set up a home keg-dispensing system on my home bar by installing a mini fridge under the counter with a tower on the bar itself. Cooling of the beer lines is accomplished by running the beer lines through 1/2 inch copper pipe running up through the...
