made a NEIPA and from the first time I opened the fermenter lid it smelled delicious. Even up to taking my FG measurement. Smelled luscious. I opened the lid of my spiedel and purged the newly cleaned corny keg and began to transfer. Finished that and purged about 6-8 times more and then put it...

Trying to develop a recipe that is based on the beer Knuckle Sandwich. Imperial IPA with taste resinous hops leave a Peach and grapefruit bitterness in the finish along with some pine. Lots of caramel sweet balances the big hops. Grapefruit bitterness lingers a bit, softly and a deceiving 10%...

I brewed a Pliny clone and kegged it after primary. After 23 hours on gas at serving pressure I opened keg up and added gelatin (first time doing this). Closed her up and let her sit. I've pulled a few samples between then and now and, while undercarbed, seemed to look good and smell really...

I have one from one of the other "fab" makers out there and just from the pictures this thing looks way better. I love the bottom.. Mine does not instill confidence. this one is cheaper too! :-( Good job Jay...

I am into my third batch using similar equipment other than I have a boil keggle.. Two points I can offer you as advice. Squeeze the living #@$@ out of the bag after you pull it.. I mean squeeze that sum @#$@ hard... #2 is double crush your grains. I have a grain mill so its easy for me. My...

Thank you aj....... Appreciate the analysis... Could I use salts to acheive the same effect? My sulfates might not be as high but my PH looks good and Ive avoided too much (if any) lactic acid.

Attaching water report and EZ water screenshot. I guess my water requires much to reduce the mash PH to acceptable levels. EZ water, using lactic acid, requires 4ml to get it down to 5.5.. Does this seem reasonable? also, I added some Epsom salt to drive up sulfates based on profile for Pliny...

I inherited a 20lb C02 tank and a dual regulator set up from a friend. I built a keezer and I have to feed to air distributors (2 and a 4). Each has a barb fitting on the supply side. So now my question. What do I need to connect to the regulator and feed my distribution? I looked at the local...

Im interested and would like a chance to win. :-)
