I'm going to make another coffee porter. last time i put the coffee into the secondary as a dry hopping but was underwhelmed with the results. I thought I would try a tincture or cold extract this time. was wondering what amount of coffee you all were adding and what method per 5 gallon batch...

I've got some old faucets that i thought were Perlick but now that I look at them and pictures online I believe they are Vent Matic: there's not writing on them. Anybody know if there is a growler filler that fits into the nozzle that I can buy? Anybody own a growler filler that thinks it is...

I was thinking of putting a sure screen on a dip tube and putting the fruit in the keg. I've done this with whole hops which works well but never with fruit. Anybody tried this? Does the fruit get too soggy when in rehydrates and gums up the sure screen or does it work? I was also...

I've got an SS half barrel conical and it leaks when I transfer around the lid. I can never get more than a pound of pressure into it to get it to transfer and it supposed to be able to take 3. It leaks around the seal at the lid. Today I came home after brewing yesterday and there was beer...

I am having some beer sent to be from crooked stave 375ml bottles and was wondering what kind of shipper would work for that and where I could order it online. I've put some searches in and haven't found the shipper that looks like it would work for that size bottle. Thanks,

Do I need to to rack off Roselare Blend or can I just throw it into a barrel on top of a beer and let it ferment and sour in the barrel? Is autolysis an issue? I've used Roselare before by using a barrel as a secondary but this time thinking of just putting the wort in the barrel this time...

So my refractometer is acting screwing over the last couple batches. When I check it with water it reads correctly at 0, but the last couple times I took readings with a drop of wort it gave me a pre boil gravity of 13.5 Brix then post boil of 10.5 Brix. That jus isn't possible to loos gravity...

I recently used the Belgian Golden Ale yeast from white labs it has been fermenting for two weeks and pretty much done. I've cold crashed it for the past three days and the yeast is still not flocculating out. Any hints?

A buddy and I made a Berliner Weisse last October and though clean it is not sour at all. We used the Berliner Weisse yeast from White Labs. In retrospect, I think we should have used Lacto then pitched Euro ale yeast later after a week or so. We were thinking of buying two cans of pureed...

Guess I through the o ring out with the hops last brew. Anyone have any luck finding an o ring at the hardware store that works or does it have to be special order. I learned with the fittings for 1/2" to 1/4 for randallizing it has to be blichmann as no one else makes that part.

I wanted to get a stir plate to use with my 5000 ml flask. Any suggestions? Seems like most stir plates aren't strong enough.

I'm brewing a knock off JZ's hop hammer. I dry hopped. It calls for 10 oz of hops to 5 gallons in the dry hop. Anyhow it's been a few days and those hopes are looking like they have no intention on falling out, are all pooled on top. Any suggestions. Probably gonna look for a very thin...

Anyone know anything about the chillhog supper 20 high efficiency plate chiller from Rebel Brewer. The site makes it sound like it might be better than the 4000 but the 4000 has 0.48 square meters of surface vs the 20 which has 0.46, about 5% less surface, also the description says the 4000 is...

I put a new beer on tap and the quick disconnect started to leak around the top, so i put it on another line, same thing, and tried to others and had the same leak. what does this mean? i'm not sure how all those quick disconnects could go bad at the same time. maybe the pressure in the keg was...
