Resurrecting an old thread. I'm about to add about 4 lbs of frozen pineapple chunks to the secondary of my wheat beer. About how long should I let it sit on the pineapple?

Festa Wheat kit this weekend, hoping to try a pineapple addition to it. Son's 1st birthday (Hawaiian themed) in a few months and I want to perfect a nice summer time sipper. So this is my first shot at it. Wyeast 1010 American Wheat starter cold crashing tonight. Going to decant and pitch tomorrow.

Bumping an old thread rather than creating a new one. Brewing an IPA using US-05 and I'm hoping to keep the fermentation temperature in the low 60s. Should I cool the wort and dry pitch the yeast into the 60ish degree wort? Or should I pitch at room temperature and place the fermenter in the...

I've done a bunch more kits since then and disregard the instructions completely. I've read a bunch on the forum here and follow the same steps for all of the kits I've done. I've only done wort in a bag kits as I want to concentrate on the process of fermentation and get it down. This Red Ale...

Had to share this because I'm still kicking myself. Pale Ale was done cold crashing last night. Proceeded to clean/sanitize the keg and all equipment. I also cleaned and sanitized the lines/coupler/faucet on the kegerator. Racked the beer to the keg put it in the fridge, tapped it and turned...

I looked too. I'd be ALL OVER that. Isn't hard to spend $130.

Slowly building up my brewing knowledge and technique. I've been doing wort in a bag kits (Festa and Brewhouse) and improving with each. My last kit was the first time I made a starter using the swirl when I remember method (not very often unfortunately) and I aerated using the shake till your...

In anticipation of summer I'm hoping to recreate a close proximity to Shock Top. From the AG clone recipes I've seen and their own description it incorporates lemon, lime and orange zest as well as coriander. For those who haven't used the Brewhouse kits, they're 15L bags of wort to which you...

Just past the 2 week mark in primary for my slightly modified Brewhouse IPA. I added only 4L of water instead of 8 to get a higher OG (1.068) and I plan on dry hopping it with 2oz of Cascade. Didn't make a starter since I had 2 packs of Wyeast 1056 lying around I threw them both in. Here's my...

I started with the wort in a bag kits like FestaBrew or Brewhouse, gave me a chance to get my head around sanitizing, fermentation, bottling etc. I'm on my 3rd kit and I'm started to add steps to my process such as dry hopping and cold crashing. Next step is to start making yeast starters and...

I got a response a few weeks ago, saying introductory pricing would be $79 for the keg and replacement liners being $3.95. A special they're gonna run until end of June when the Home Brewers Conference is over. Emailed them this morning to see when they'd be taking orders and they said...

Seems they werent really cut out for commercial use either. I'm hoping this proves to be a better setup, still waiting to be able to place an order... http://www.evcontainer.com/home-brewers/ Otherwise I'll be looking in to a SS keg setup and a way to clean as well.

I just kegged my first batch in one over the weekend, and I was hoping I'd get something like 10 batches out of one. I was even about to order a second PubKeg, but after hearing your review I may just hold off. Been doing a lot of research on opening sanke kegs and cleaning, gauging how...

When I first discover them I had emailed and asked for pricing. They're offering introductory pricing until the end of the Home Brewers Conference in June and it'll be $78 for the keg and liner, and $3.95 for replacement liners.

Has anyone had any experience with these, they're just coming to market right now I believe. http://www.evcontainer.com/home-brewers/ Looking for an easy sanke kegging solution. I bought a plastic PubKeg and actually kegged my first batch, was super easy to do. But it looks as though...

I'm just getting in to the world of homebrewing and this is my 2nd kit. 1st kit I did was a Brewhouse Cerveza, a 15L wort bag which you add 8L of water to. This Paddock Wood kit is 23L of wort, all you do is add yeast. It came with a Wyeast smack pack. My question is regarding the...
