I was not going to post the experience of my first All-grain attempt this past weekend but I feel I must be punished so here it is for your enjoyment. I was attempting an IPA with a total grain weight of 14 lbs. 13 lbs of grain and 1lb of brown sugar. I added all of the grains to my converted...

I bow to you sir. I just called a local company and I can get it filled for 7 bucks. Thank you!

I also went to beverage factory and they were great. Only problem is that no one will fill my tank they all want to exchange. YUCK.

Ok this is my double edged question. First my basement is approx 60 degrees and at room temp my CO2 read full. I put it in the fridge which is about 34 degrees with a single keg attached at 15 psi. With in hours the gauge said that I had lost about 1/3 of my total volume of CO2. That was 3 days...

I am going to attempt my first all grain this weekend. It is a simple IPA. I have built my masher out of a converted water cooler. I only have one Boil pot but I can deal with that. Any advice for my first time? As always thank you all!

None the CO2 will do all of the work for you.

Thanks everyone. mine are a mix of 7/8 and 11/16. I have one that has a regular 6 sided nut on both the gas and out side. If I were to take them off and mix them up (No I have not done that yet) is there a way to tell them apart?

OK but won't the liquid run back up the gas line? I am terrible afraid of ruinng this brand new system. Thank you so much!

I have 3 Corny kegs, and they have a funny star shaped bottom. I was able to take the post apart using a pair of plyers. Is there a special tool I need to take this off? If so anyone know where I can get one? I have a couple of mre newbie questions that I will post later. Thanks for all the...

I just kegged my first one last night. I had it at 20 psi with just the CO2 hooked up. I then thought it would be a good idea toput the OUT valve on all by itself with no line. Little did I know I had a nice stream of beer that shot about 10ft. opps. The beer at the time was at 60 degrees. I...

I would have to take a strong IPA perhaps the 12 I am drinking now would do.

Looks good. I will be trying my first all grain next week. I just built my 10 gal cooler mash tun today and tested it. All grain IPA next weekend!

Here is my issue. I have been kicked out of the first floor of the house as far as brewing goes. My wife is tired of seeing Carboys laying around in primary or secondary stages. So I am banished to the garage the problem is my garage temp hovers constantly around 60 degrees. I need to build...

I have made about 5 batches so far all different. Only one of them has a head. It has a little too much if you ask me. On the batch with the good head I used pellet hops. The others were leaf. Would this be the difference or I am just missing something? If you need more info I would be happy to...

Look around in your are for a local homebrew store. For me the closest one is 2hrs away and I drive there every week. Also read the Wiki here. I started there a few weeks ago and found it very helpful. Welcome to the forum!

My FG 1.016 is this ok>

What is the proper way to take a sample for FG reading. Can I use my sterlized turky bater to extract enough to fill my 100ml cylinder to obtain the reading? Thanks for the great advice.

Hello all I have a question. I have had this Munic Dunkel in secondary for atleast 2 weeks at approx 54 degrees. I was sure it was ready to bottle. So this morning I brought it into my kitchen which it approx 68 degrees and I come home and it is fermenting again the air lock is moving. What do I...

I just wanted to let everyone know that things are going smoothly. It started fermentin wildly this moring and has now taken off. Thanks for teaching me a little patience.:mug:

The temp was good. It was aroung 70 when I pitched. I am very clean in my kitchen. It was the fact that the yeast had not started to bubble yet. So I will be ok picking up more yeast on Wednesday an repitching thursday or friday? Thanks for the help!
