Hey guys, while I'm relatively handy diagnosis is far from one of my specialties. My kegerator (which I put a ton of effort and love into) is no longer cooling. The compressor seems to be running, and the light is on, both of which suggest to me that the electric system is functional. However...

Pale ale I realized that this beer sucks without the dual vents.

Have some almost new shanks (only used for 1 month) that are five inches and 7/8" diameter. I'm needing either tower shanks or short ones like 1 to 2". I'm selling them for $10 a piece and have two. Or would be willing to trade. PM me if interested.

I hardly ever look at emails from living social but noticed this one today. $64 for everything you need minus a boil kettle, includes an ingredient kit (extract I assume) and a $25 gift card for next purchase through Midwest. Although I am established with my equipment I'm thinking about getting...

All you gotta do is upload an outdoors picture and write a little story. Sierra nevada moving to cans. Anyone know whether they'll be exclusively cans?

What I'm wanting to do is add priming sugar to the keg and use the co2 pressure to pump the beer to my bottles, I don't want to carb in my keg because of foaming to fill bottles, and I don't own a beer gun or any other fancy things. So i want to bottle about 24 bottles amd leave the rest in the...

I began the night with a sweet water happy ending, then a gueze, and then a kolsh. The sour dominated my palate, and it was very difficult to discern those nuances characteristic of a kolsh. It was really disappointing. I wasn't able to appropriately enjoy it. I've never really planned the order...

Don't get me wrong, I love BIAB and have brewed some 20 batches in my kitchen, but it's messing, temp control of my mash was always an issue and boiling was a pain. While this isn't my dream HERMS system I'm excited to be moving outdoors with a burner from amazon for only $45 and a used cooler I...

Im wanting to brew an AG starter wort and can it so it's ready to go whenever i am! I wanted to do this also to save money because im cheap. i know the OG is supposed to be about 1.035, right? would you recommend hop additions to preserve it or just do an all 2-row 1.035 wort?

I recently brewed an american amber ale, with the intent of it being pretty mild, and i took a hydrometer reading today after 2 weeks of fermentation. The color was perfect, FG was right on, great clarity, but when i tasted the sample it had a very burnt, almost charcoal taste. I thought i had...

Couldn't think of worse timing. Guess I need to get me a propane burner....

Well I've recently gotten into sour beers and i love them. So time to make one. I see there are basically 3 ways of doing this, sour mash, pitching of lacto, and adding lactic acid post-mash. I've been reading up on the three options and clearly adding lactic acid is the easiest and shortest...

I brewed an oktoberfest about two weeks ago and when i tried the gravity sample from today i was much less than impressed, although it had a pleasant aroma. My question is does the use of decoction step mashing not extract tannins, and if so, is this the reason for such long lagering times used...

Well I got an infection a few weeks ago..... it actually still turned out ok and ill probably drink it anyways but I still want to use the fermentation bucket the ale was in. I used one cup of bleach per five gallons in the bucket. Do you think it will kill whatever bugger infected my beer or is...

well i brewed up an oktoberfest yesterday, and low and behold the lager yeast i bought (at least thought i bought) waas nowhere to be found. the LHBS was closed so i figured better to pitch something than risk infection, so i pitched some wyeast 1056. I still intend to lager it, but how do you...

Well, very few people around me appreciate it, so i thought you all would! 6 of my upcoming ingredient lists were just purchased!:ban: I even had to buy another bucket to keep up with how much I want to brew. Thanks to everyone here who's taught me just about everything i know about brewing...

I intend to brew my first belgian trippel coming up, and dont know much about the different belgian yeasts available. I'm wanting a strain with lower spiciness, but still plenty of belgian flavor. What temperature would be most favorable for a softer belgian trippel?

I have seen many people are interested in a low calorie/ low alcohol beer without compromising the big flavor we have all come to expect in our homebrews. Ive managed to get an entire day off from class so I'll be going to the LHBS to get some ingredients for 2, 2 gallon batches of a simple...

O I'm looking into getting a commercial keg adapter, but will likely be getting a lot of 1/4 and maybe 1/6 kegs. Will a standard domestic tap fit these kegs, and will they fit imported European kegs also?
