    Favorite/Worst Cheap Beer?

    My favorite cheap beer is Miller Lite. I enjoy Heineken as well but can only have a few at a time. As close as I can get to a dislike is that I used to hate Yeungling but my tastes have changed and I enjoy it now. Other than that, I can’t think of one I wouldn’t drink if handed to me. I’ve had...

    Yeast Starters: Fermented Wort

    I always pour my starter wort into a glass and drink some. I never finish the glass though because it’s not very good. Not bad, but not good. May be better if your Someone who puts hops in your starters.

    Pump recomendation for kegging?

    Let me know how this works! One other thing to consider is that moisture builds up in air compressors. This may be concern for contamination? I would consider an in line filter between the compressor and beer.

    Pump recomendation for kegging?

    Just thinking out loud here, but is your fermenter air tight enough to where you can get a few pounds of pressure? CO2 would be ideal to pressure transfer but if not, I’m thinking an air compressor putting a few pounds ontop of the beer would introduce less oxygen than a pump? Just a guess...

    To Pre-Chill or Not to Pre-Chill

    Because we’re talking about carbing at room temp which will require higher pressures, I have a follow up. Does anyone know the pressure rating for our CMB ball lock fittings? My gas fitting will leak around 30 PSI but is fine when lowered.

    To Pre-Chill or Not to Pre-Chill

    I see. I have a beer I’ll be kegging in a few days and will try set and forget at room temp.

    To Pre-Chill or Not to Pre-Chill

    Please provide some application. Are you suggesting he should do this warm? https://www.northernbrewer.com/blogs/kegging-bottling-techniques/how-to-carbonate-beer “FORCE CARBONATION Most carbonation in kegs is done using pressurized CO2 from a gas cylinder, a process called force carbonation...

    To Pre-Chill or Not to Pre-Chill

    I skimmed through one of the links. If your going to set and forget, then i don’t think it matters when you hook up your CO2. If your going to force carbonate by agitating your keg, that’s best done when cold because the beer will absorb CO2 at a more rapid rate.

    To Pre-Chill or Not to Pre-Chill

    Has anyone recommended chilling prior to hooking up gas? I don’t see how it would matter.

    What's your maximum capacity BIAB brews?

    Yes if OP wants to sparge, a lot of possibilities with a 15 gallon kettle. I find moving a bag of dripping grain around makes my brew days less enjoyable and prefer to do a simple full volume mash. OP will need to make his own decision. But as established, if he is planning to do less than 10...

    What's your maximum capacity BIAB brews?

    How would what I describe not be an issue of too small of a pot? Total volume exceeded what was possible in my 15 gallon kettle and for that reason I need to sparge. I should have read the post more carefully to determine he wasn’t interested in a 10 gallon batch but the content initially lead...

    What's your maximum capacity BIAB brews?

    If you plan on brewing 10 gallon batches with any level of consistency definitely get a 20 gallon kettle. Like others have said a 15 gallon kettle is good for any 5 gallon batch. I made the mistake of getting a 15 gallon kettle and now regret it. I brewed a 10 gallon batch yesterday, held back a...

    Can I convert a carbonation keg lid to dispense?

    Seems to me like you have hops or some other debris clogged in the tube/spring/poppet.

    Ok, crazy idea...

    😂 I’m sticking around for test 2.0. Between wanting to drink my beer cold and it taking to long for the hops to actually do anything - and then the pellets break down into a lot of debris in the cup, I’m not thinking this is viable.
