Hey guys! I am sorry if any of you think this is a repost but after a few days of research and failed discussion with homedepot employees i am reaching out to you guys. I have essentially the same set up as this video And i want to wire up the exact same switch box, but i have no flipping...

I brewed today for the first time in a while, about a month ago i decided to clean up my gear and soaked my therminator in a bucket with oxyclean. I then soaked it in one with water and then would pick it out drain it and did that a few times. I never got around to pumping water through it or...

Have another thread currently posted about the same beer it is a milk stout thats been in a conical (first time using it) for almost 2 weeks. Temp dropped to 57 degrees, got a brew belt on it but there is still no sign of activity even after warming up and trying to rouse the yeast. Took a...

Used my comical for the first time a little over a week ago. 7.4 gal and Put in about 5.75 gal. Pitched a starter of 2nd gen white labs dry English ale, barely in airlock activity (I knew there wouldn't be because of head space left) pitched at about 68 degrees and it's now been about 8 days. It...

Hey guys, just brewed a milk stout last night to toss into my new 7.4gal conical. I decided to use a harvested strain of WL Dry english for it, made a starter on friday and intermittently stirred it around. Hit 75% efficiency last night and pitched my yeast starter at 8pm. Im wondering how i can...

So i am an all grain brewer and use a Colandria type system so essentially just a herms with a therminator as my chiller/HE. I am going to brew an extract pumpkin ale recipe because im afraid the dead space under my FB on my keg mash tun will make it a difficult mash. My question is, if i brew a...

I am looking to brew a Sam Adams Boston Lager clone and i have yet to do a decoction, i use a herms type system and do a recirculating mash. Would i benefit from just doing protein rests as apposed to removing grain to do a decoction? Or would it either be Decoction or no decoction and that the...

I am looking to brew a Sam Adams Boston Lager clone and a couple recipes i have found call for a decoction, i have yet to do one. I use a HERMS system and only use 1 burner. If i were to do a decoction i would use my stove top, my question is whether recirculating my mash while removing grain...

So last weekend i primed an ipa and am letting it carb at room temp in my basement, i just kicked a keg because of a party. Can i just toss my keg into my kegerator and essentially cold crash the yeast and then toss co2 on to finish up any carbing?

So i just got a pump from a buddy with hoses and quick connects already attached, waiting for the males that connect to my keggles. My question is that i believe they are 3/8in would it be a good idea to get 1/2in? Or am i fine with 3/8? I am planning to recirculate my mash in the tun (Im...

So i brewed an ipa about 2 and a half weeks ago almost 3, OG was 1.077 and pitched a 2 day starter, i have taken a few FG readings, one 5 days ago, one 2 days ago and one today, all of which real 1.012 (Est FG was 1.017-1.020......) I am still showing a ton of krausen in the carboy, i mean it...

Hey guys, so my buddy and i brewed an amber ipa about 13 days ago and it just finished up, we noticed its quite cloudy so i am going to do a secondary, we were thinking of just doing it over night, starting now and racking to bottle tomorow about the same time, is that long enough to let the...

So i just brewed about my 15th all grain batch, and for some reason my wort is really cloudy and gross looking, like nasty stuff sticking together, i am posting a picture but what in the heck is this? Should i even ferment it? Or just throw the batch out? Im so confused. Its not hops because i...

So through a buddy of mine i got 6 lbs of hops, everything from a couple strains of cascade to some summit and magnum. My only issue is that they are vacuum sealed in about 10 ounces to 22 ounces. My question is what should i do when i want to use them? I do not have a vacuum sealer. So am i...

So i have been doing all grain brewing in a converted keg with a false bottom, i just did my 13th batch today in it and have recently switched "style" I know will take about a gallon of boiling water and toss it in to the keggle and top it. I will let that water sit in and warm it up while i am...

So i my best friends birthday is coming up on sunday june 12th, i am thinking of trying to brew a hefeweizen tomorrow and then have it kegged and ready to bring home on friday the 10th, my question is if anyone has suggestions for recipe or yeast/ fermentation temps to have it done fermenting in...

So we had brewed a little over a week ago and our mash temp was a little high but decided to go ahead with it. We were somewhere around 165 i believe. It was fermenting really well for about 4 days then i was gone for a couple days and just checked on them, from the looks they seem as though...

I have been looking through forums and what not and i guess i don't understand the concept of using the charts. Like how do i determine what temperature i want the fridge? And what the pressure should be at? Please do not just post me a link to some part of the forums where it covers "force...

Hey guys, sooo i brewed my second all grain this last weekend, i checked my mash temp in my cooler mash tun and it was at around 149, so i was around 3 degrees under my mash temp, so i just kinda sparged it and got the temp back up to sit. I have decided that i am just going to use my Keggle...
