I have a 7cu.ft. and it will only fit 3 corny kegs on the floor. If you built a high collar (2x10 or 12 maybe?) you could put one on top of the compressor hump but if I were you, I would just go with the larger one right off the bat

Yeah I'm going to leave it for another week and see how it is after that

I've had a blueberry wheat sitting in primary for 2 weeks. I opened it up to keg today and it still has a strong sulfur smell. Should I keg and hope that it'll go away in conditioning or should I give it another week for the sulfur smell to dissipate?

Big fan of pale ales and IPAs. Thinking I can probably take 2-3 of these varieties and make a pretty good pale ale

I bought the top hops pack from Yakima Valley Hops on pure impulse. Now I'm wondering what I should brew with them. So what would you brew with the following hops? 2oz each of: Centennial Australian Enigma Azacca Medusa Idaho Gem Cascade South African Southern Passion Cashmere Sabro 1oz of...

Update: I figured out a technique that worked decent. They're not on there all the way but there are no leaks so I'm satisfied for now. Heated up the end with a flame, stretched it a bit with a phillips screwdriver and then pushed it on as far as it would go. Got them all the way on the shanks...

I just wasted about 3-4 inches of line trying to get this onto barbs. Oh my god they shouldn't even sell you this stuff without those push connect fittings. I'm going to have to try to find a way to make this work because both my ball lock disconnects and my shanks have barbs

Brewed up a batch of simply juice pale ale from homebrewsupply and have been absolutely crushing it. Already bought another kit to do it again. Its so good!

Just entered. Fingers crossed!

Brewed it this weekend. Its sitting in the fermenter as we speak. OG came out at 1.055 which is actually a couple points over what the recipe estimate was. Dry hop next week and then packaging 5 days later. Will update this thread with how it comes out

Thanks for the insight. They turned out ok after ~4 weeks in the bottle but I'm going to add more priming sugar next time

I actually adjusted the AA% to match what is on the packaging for my hops and still got that high number. I'm just gonna brew it and see how it turns out and if I don't like it, I'll adjust the next time around

Thanks for the input guys. If beer smith is saying around 50, brewers friend is saying around 70 and the recipe sheet that came with the kit is saying 60, hopefully it ends up somewhere right around that 50-60 mark. I'm just going to follow the instructions and see how it turns out. Hopefully...
