Hello I am looking at setting up my kegerator up for sanke kegs too soon and the only thing I don't fully understand is how you forced carb the kegs. Do u transfer the beer to the keg afgter cleaning and santizing then just have the gas line hooked up to the tap then connect to the keg then turn...

But if you never used black treacle before your in for a treat but use in small amount because it effects the color and alcohol increasingly so and depending on the style of beer it will be out of spec of the target your trying make, such as the belhaven clone. Scottish ales arent very bitter...

i have a old 5 pounder that has surface rust on it. it holds pressure just fine but couldn't understand the marks on the tank and thought it should be re hyrdo am i correct for wanting this done? Also does anyone know where it can be done in pa im near uniontown pa so it would need to be near...

All three are different beasts and are all great but the foreign extra stout is the best if your looking for a robust full flavor dry type of stout. Extra is simlar but bot as dry and robust. And the draught is just like drinking cream and water. It's soft and only a little bit dry. I think the...

Guinness draught is 4.8 abv extra stout is 5 abv and foreign extra stout is 7.5 abv that you get in the states. So any clone thats below these numbers is off weather its extra or all grain.

Ya usually when my wort is at 70 degrees and I pitch the yeast i get fermentation within 30 minutes. I used a different type if yeast this time. My krausen ring was like 4 inches on the fermentor. I will crack one open in a week to see how it is then i provavly leave it for another weeks...

Yes I believe the temp was 90 when I pitched and I was trying to pitch at 70 which I thought I had at the time but must of been wrong since it took 12 hrs to get to 74 degrees which it started fermenting at.

I didn't add any more sugar to the batch and re pitch yeast. It he the first time I've ever make a beer this low in gravity before but oh well. Next time i will know better. Anyways it sat in the primary for 5 weeks and it just got bottled and will sit for another 2 weeks. I ended up priming...

troeges mad elf which i dont care for and will never buy again doesnt have enought hops to balance out the over malty alcohol taste.

mr i tried making a 6 gallon batch but ended up with only 5.5 gallons. I usually use about 5 to 6 pounds of fermentable not just the 4. I boilded 2 gallons of water and added a ounce of perle hops for 30 minutes. Afterwards i mixed in the 2 pounds of dark trecel, pound of dme and pound of brown...

could i add more sugar then pitch more yeast or is it just stupid at this point of time?

UPDATE: i did another hydrometer reading and it said the same thing 1.018 at 72 degrees. This is the fourth week that its been in the fermentor and no changes. Do i have a stuck fermentation or what do i need to do to help fix this. The beer tasted green with some hop flavor to it. So it tasted...

hello there i have a problem which i hope you guys can help me out with to decide how to fix something. i brewed a batch of coopers irish stout can kit on october 4th. what i did was make a 2 gallon pearle hop tea, then i added my fermentables such as the coopers can, 454 grams of dark dme...

I'm having the same issue with my stout I think because i forgot to rack into the fermentor instead of using a cup to transfer wort over which i did. Which I lost some wort which probably made my beer ferment out at 3.2 abv it started at 1.044 then final gravity was 1.018 its been in the primary...
