    Yeast washing question.

    This is an interesting topic for me and there is a lot of differing opinions on this subject so I'm just trying to keep learning. I have been cropping yeast and just adding it to a sanitized mason jar and refrigerating. I just brewed today. I made a starter on Friday with yeast cropped from a...

    How much do you brew ?

    5 gallons every 3-4 weeks. Given my current capacity it depends on how much I give away to make room which also gives me an idea of how likable a certain batch is. I have two kegs and enough bottles for two batches at the moment but working on enough bottles for another full batch.

    10 gallon round igloo cooler and a bazooka tube. What do you calculate your dead spac

    Good question. I tip my cooler hoping to reduce dead space loss to zero but assume there is still a small amount I can't get to. I'm also very patient about getting as much out as I can on each running. Not sure if this is good practice or not. Is it worth that last .25 gallon of wort time wise...

    Downside to draft beer at home

    Hook up lines to keg half full with warm water and oxiclean that was used to wash the keg hit co2 and purge. Repeat with hot water to rinse. Repeat with star san. Seems like a lot but takes about five minutes ten if interrupted by sips of homebrew.

    Downside to draft beer at home

    I have a dual keg setup. Bought after my first batch. I bottle too. We share a lot of beer and bottles can be stored longer without losing carbonation. If the people I share with don't get pouring into a glass then they probably aren't interested anyway. If someone lives close that I'm sharing...

    Best RO system for the money?

    I would shop based on price and availability (and price) of replacement membranes and filters. I got mine about three years ago from uswatersystems. Didn't know a thing about them at the time but it's still working fine. I have a 5 stage. I see remineralization systems are available now, I...

    Why can't you fire the BK to get a head start with batch sparging ?
