    First Home Brew!!

    So my DIPA tastes good and def hoppy, but th clarity isn’t there at all. It has the color but I want better clarity next time. Any suggestions on why it may not be as clear and what to do better next time. Thank you all.

    My DIPA I made has been bottled and in the fridge for a couple days now. I opened a couple and it tastes good but it’s not as clear as I hoped. Anyone know how to improve clarity next time. I’ve heard using Whirlflock will help!! Thank you.

    Also I’ve read contradicting statements about whether or not u should keep your CO2 tank in your kegerator. I’ve seen it both ways and to me looks cleaner and better inside. Any thoughts??

    Ok great. But since it can’t go below 50 which is its lowest, should I find something that will get colder than that. Thank you.

    Anyone know what temp a kegerator should be. I bought a wine fridge to use as mine, but now I’m wondering if it’ll get cold enough.

    Ok. Right now it’s stored at room temp per the recipe for a few wks then in the fridge for a wk prior to drinking. Not sure if that’s accurate I guess now.

    In regards to the lagering temp, my recipe says to keep it between like 68-74 and the fermentometer says lagers are mid 40’s- mid 60’s, but it’s in my house so the avg temp is prob like 65ish.

    So my Pilsner is almost ready but my kegerator won’t be built for another wk. is it ok to leave it in the carboy til then. I measured the FG and it was a little lower than the intended range but looks great. Any info is appreciated.

    Ya that’s how we did it. It wasn’t bad I guess, but the kegerator will be nice to have. Thank you.

    I measured the FG and it was spot on, so we bottled. What a pain in the ass bottling is. I ordered the parts for my kegerator immediately after. Now I’ve got a Pilsner that’s about done too. I’m hoping I can leave it til my kegerator is ready which is about a wk away.

    My bad. Priming sugar in the bottling bucket then beer siphoned in the bucket from the carboy. Should I use a strainer as I’m siphoning since there’s a lot of sediment

    Also, I’m gonna bottle right from the primary fermenter with a syphon.. is that ok.

    First Brew!!!

    Right on!! Thank you.

    Ya I figure why not go big. Not like I haven’t drank bad beer before ( “Natty Ice” ). Should I check the FG more than once to get an idea if it’s still changing or go ahead and bottle if it’s within range?

    First Brew!!!

    So my first attempt at home brew is a Double IPA from BSG Handcraft. Brew day was 1/31/18 and went well, OG was spot on, dry hopped 3 days after per recipe, and it’s now 7 days after I dry hopped which is the max days per the recipe. Bubbling in the air lock subsided about a wk ago but was crazy...
