I'm looking into making my own Mash Tun. I had assumed that I needed a false bottom, but some of the videos I have watched about making your own do not have a false bottom. Is there a good resource where I could get more info about this? Thanks.

Brewed a Pale Ale 48 hours ago and I haven't seen anything yet. When do I start to worry? What steps do I take to fix it?

Ok thanks.

I recently brewed my first Brown Ale. I don't have the exact recipe on me but i can get it later. I bumped up the LME from the 6 lbs called out for in the recipe to 7.5 lbs. Other than that I followed the recipe that I had(Kent Goldings/Cascade Hops). Anyway, I kegged last night and had...

I have a spare regulator and tank as well so I can do it either way. It will just be easier if I can just shoot it up once and put it in the corner and forget about it for a month.

What if I don't want to use priming sugar. Can I put the beer in the keg with no pressure? Do I need to keep a minimal amount of pressure on it?

I have an Amber Ale that is ready to be kegged. I am new to this and the previous batches have gone straight into a refrigerator, force carbonated, and consumption begun a few days later. This keg I have some time to age it more. So what is the process as far as force carbonating etc. It...

About 8 psi. 40 degrees is my guess. Not 100% sure on temp

Low psi. It was originally a bit over carved. The clear beer was the last 5-10 beers.

Any thoughts on this. The left picture was taken one week prior to the right. The beer is served on tap. It was very enjoyable with some bite at the end. Then it went clear and lost all of its character. Partial boil. Cascade hops. Alexander lite extract.

Bump

I have been using Iodine. The question I have is if there is a better sanitizer for times when I need to clean say one air lock. Whenever I use Iodine I mix up a big batch of it because the proper ratio is the easiest to achieve that way. Is there something else I could get to do small...

Ya I had to make changes to connect to the Cornelius. I know where the leak is. Just need time to fix.

I kegged yesterday. Found out I have a co2 leak tonight. Tank is empty. Negative effects onto my beer? I switched to another tank, pumped up the psi to 30 and unhooked the air and turned it off.

I'm guessing 4.25 gallons.
