I had been using a picnic tap in my kegerator just until I had time to replace my beer lines and get my taps going again. I just sanitized and installed all new liquid lines, and cleaned my taps and shanks. Now my beer tastes harsh and bitter, it tasted fine with the picnic tap, I've pulled...

I've been brewing all grain for a few years now and I have about 15 brews under my belt. Every one of those beers has come up short in the OG dept. I use a rectangular cooler with the stainless water line braid, and I batch sparge. I crush my own grain the day of, and usually hit my mash temp...

I work for a commercial kitchen supplier, we deal with all kinds of restaurant equipment. I was looking at a commercial deep fryer one day and thought "man, this might be good for brewing beer". Has anyone heard of someone actually doing this? or if it would be practical?

I'm just starting out making my own recipes, and I want to brew a better CDA, Black IPA, (whatever you like to call it). The one I just kegged doesn't taste like I wanted, but it's still drinkable and still needs some time to mature I believe. I made another recipe, and I just wanted some advice...

Does anyone know whats up with the shortage of amarillo hops? Also, does anyone know when they might be more readily available again?

Anyone ever brewed a Belgian Black IPA? I have a black IPA recipe that I would like to ferment with a Belgian yeast, but I wanted to get some insight from someone who has done one before I delve in.

Last night I hooked up my c02 to my keg, set my desired pressure, checked for leaks, and stuck it in the kegerator to carbonate. This morning I get up and check it out and the pressure was was at 5 instead of 11, does this mean the beer absorbed the pressure, or do I have a leak?

So, I kegged my first stout (also my first kegging attempt). I racked it into the keg closed it up, and put it in the keg to cool before carbonating. Problem is, I had no co2 to purge the air out with, but i did pull the purge valve about 6 times over a 2 day period and some gas came out. I had...

Did my second ag batch yesterday, also my first porter. Problem is, I just realized that I never actually mashed out, I just recirculated my first running then, started sparging. I know that one of the purposes of the mash out is to stop starch degrading enzymes, is this gonna create a problem?

I've just been asked by a friend if I could brew some beer for their wedding reception. I accepted, but I dont want to bottle it, and i don't have kegging equipment, so i was thinking about cask conditioning it. Does anyone know where i can buy a cask?

Hey I'm new here, I just did my first all grain after about 6 extract and mini mash batches, I saved about a quart of the wort after the boil planning on using it to make a yeast starter with the yeast from the currently fermaenting batch, my question is, will that wort be okay to use after 2...
