I’m in

I’m in. Thanks!

Ball lock. Thanks

Canada. thanks @inkbird

I bought two of them and tried another tonight just on a bottle to test it out and it seemed to be holding fine. Maybe I just didn’t have it tight enough.

Thanks for the reply’s. I will take a look at both of these and see if I can get it sealed properly.

I bought a couple carbonation caps and tried one out the other day and it was leaking co2. It came with a few o rings so I’m assuming I need to add one to the inside to help seal it but none seem to be the right size. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what I might need to do.

So I think I’m gonna go with C. It may not end up with exactly the right numbers but I’m ok with that. In the end it’s gonna make beer. 🍻

So Tonight I milled my grains for a NEIPA I’m planning on brewing tomorrow and I think I accidentally added an extra pound of 2 row in it. I’ve already mixed all the grains from the recipe. I’m only brewing a 1.75 gallon batch so it raises my abv from 5.97 to 7.38. Do I A - leave it and brew as...

@Saunassa not a bad thought but I don’t think that’s the case only because when I drink commercial beers I have no problem picking up flavours and aromas. Last night I actually was having a commercial IPA and had a taste of mine to compare and didn’t like it. I’m gonna give it some time and see...

@Velnerj Yeah they were all cryo hops. I had never used them before so maybe next time I’ll try using something else earlier in the boil. I’ve been mostly disappointed with the hoppy beers I’ve attempted so far except for one black ipa that had a bunch of late additions and whirlpool that I...

@Velnerj I did actually do a 30 min whirlpool around 70C. What temperature would you normally do your dry hopping at? @Transamguy77 yeah it mostly just lacking flavour and aroma. The hops definitely aren’t coming through but also I feel like it’s lacking some maltiness as well. I’ll take a look...

This beer I was just using a bucket but I do have a plastic carboy that I could use with one of those tops. I’ll have to order one. Thanks

I do fill my kegs with star san and push it out with co2 but I’m kinda thinking if it is oxidation, it maybe actually happened before kegging. When I transferred to my keg I took a gravity sample and it already seemed like it had lost most of that hop aroma and flavour that I tasted when I took...
