just bought this fridge last weekend and my two 5 gal. corny kegs fitted nicely along with the CO2 tank; as everybody said the only mod I had to do was to shave off the door compartments.

By force carbonation I meant the "shake the keg" method, but I got you

Hi, I'm about to keg an imp. stout and wanted to know your opinion on what will be the best way to carbonate it (I don't think I should force carb it right?). Thanks.

That's great advice pvault98. I'll try to calibrate my equipment that way and see how it goes. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Good to know that! Next time I'll boil to reach volume instead of time and see how it goes. Thanks

Last week I brewed an Arrogant Bastard clone. My pre-boil gravity was off by .001 so I was pretty happy with that... But my OG (post-boil) was off by .009! I thought that because my pre-boil gravity was so close to the original (estimated), my OG will result as well in a closer number to the...

Thanks a lot

I have a 32 oz jar, it was harvested a month ago and it has been in my fridge since. You said the starter will let me know if it still viable? How exactly?

Greetings fellow brewers, I have a jar of yeast from my last batch which I'm about to use next week. This is my first time harvesting yeast, so my question is, how do I know if my yeast have survived? I want to know this before bothering making a starter and pitching it into my wort.

When exactly is the Dextrose used in this recipe? Boil? Primary?

Thanks a lot Invictusbrew! Thats a very nice tutorial Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I just made a yeast starter but for some reason I'll be unable to brew the day I planned. So my question is, can I dump the starter in a jar and store it in my fridge? And if the answer is yes, how long will it hold there? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Full boil

BeerSmith calculated something between 80 - 85 if I remember correctly, but I can definitely get your point

I didn't knew that lower gravity equals higher hop utilization... I didn't take a pre-boil gravity reading, but the OG was 1.050, wich was lower than I expected. And no, I didn't get a rolling boil at any time during the boil.
