I"m not sure if I'm pressure fermenting. I guess I would say no because of my makeshift waterseal. I have the container underneath the butterfly valve. I has a couple of screw ports. Could I not use that to remove trub. Then later connect a hose and transfer to the keg using gravity? Maybe...

Hi, I received a black lager kit and brewed it. As I was sanitizing my 6 gallon carboy, I realized that the it had a crack in it. So, I had no choice to but use the fermzilla that I recently received as a gift. I was waiting to look at a bunch of videos so I would be sure how to use it. It...

Hi. Bought a stout kit early in the week in hopes of getting it before the weekend. They didn't ship it fast and it sat all weekend in transit. I bought liquid yeast with a cold pack and was afraid it killed all my yeast. I brewed, and it looked like the yeast in bag inside of the sealed bag...

i bought a milk stout extract kit from Austin Homebrew. Same kit that I had brewed in April, and I wanted to do it again. Without thinking, I hit the reorder button. Well, temperatures were milder in April, and both time I bought Wyeast with a cold pack. When I opened the kit today, the cold...

Any at all?

I recently went to Orlando to Universal. I had a beer named Too Stout from the Chocolate Emporium. I think it is actually the Florida Brewing Company’s Too Chocolate Stout. I am looking for an extract clone of this. Any Recommendations?

Anyone have a recipe that might be close?

Yeah...that looks good, but for a keezer, wouldn't I need one with two outlets. One for the fridge, 1 for the heat (light bulb)?

Hey. When i first built my fermentation chamber, there was a video that I found of someone wiring an Auberins temperature controller into an extension cord. You could set it to switch power to your refrigerator off and on depending on temperature. And i had a light bulb inside that would cut...

Recently had a weekend in NOLA. Ate at Meril's and sampled Chafunkta Old 504 Porter there. Could not find it in any stores that I was close to while there. I emailed the brewery in Mandeville asking for recipe, but got no response. Anyone know or have a recipe for this beer? Anyone from...

I emailed them. Waited patiently. Have not heard anything.

Hey guys. Recently at in New Orleans at the new Emeril's restaurant called Meril"s. There I tried a local beer from the Chafunkta brewing company called Chafunkta Old 504 Porter. It was a coffee and vanilla infused porter and was delicious. I would love to make this. Anyone else hear about...

How many vannilla beans should you put in the secondary fermenter of a 5 gallon brew?

Was brewing a chocolate stout. When I was done, I realized the temperature controller was out in my fermenter in my shop. So I brought it in the house. On the second night, the water seal blew. Now, here is my problem that I need help with. Some of the black/brown wort got on the plaster...

addition of malt might add some creaminess.
