I'm at Hunter Mountain in NY and in desperate need of a "gas in" connection for a corny keg. Closest place I could find is a home brew store near Albany. Can anyone help out? I need it today.

I don't normally lager beers (and there's a reason). I don't have room in my fridge to lager my carboy. Just did my first pilsner and it seems to be fermented after 10 days. I'm doing a diacytle rest for 24 hours at 64 degrees and then I was going to lager it outside since the weather is...

Only a 16? plate chiller. Not the thick one.

coolant and wort counterflow? Help me out here Bobby Guru. If you're asking if I've got it hooked up correctly, yes, I wasn't that drunk. :) Didn't check the actual temp of my tap/hose water. I know it's hot as balls out right now but when I filled my kids blowup pool today I know it seemed...

No idea what's going on but the last 3-4 times I've used my plate chiller with my pump, my wort has been coming out over 90 degrees. Water temp from hose is fine (not chilling but not warm either), pressure is good, I've cut down the output of my pump so the hot wart isn't going through too...

I'm in!

You might be right. Right after I posted this I went and took a hydrometer reading on my Yeti clone and it was at 1.020, which is exactly what the recipe says the FG should be. Unfortunately I was too drunk to remember to take the OG measurement (ha,ha). Better yet, I then drank what I put in...

I just did a partygyle (two beers from one mash) and my main beer was a clone of Great Divide Yeti. This is my 15th beer and about my 12th all grain. Up until now all has gone well. I am experiencing some fermenting difficulties. Not sure what it is, lag, whatever. My theory (based on good old...

I'm looking to get two full 5 gallons worts from one grain bill/ mash. Looking for tips. My plan is to make an imperial stout (based off of Yeti recipe) with 17 lbs of 'base malt' (2 row pale). I planned on doing a regular mash and sparge with just the base malt and steep my specialty grains as...

I'm trying to patch a hole in a plastic conical fermenter and wondering what material I can trust to use for this that won't be bad for my wort/fermenter. Also I'd like to attach/insert a thermometer into my mash tun (cooler) and would probabaly need something to seal that, that is 'food safe'...
