This is what I do, never had an issue with oxidation.

YVH is also associated with Haas. They sell all those products in the larger, brewery formats, but nothing in the homebrew size. They've said they are working on it, but it's been months to a year at this point.

terminal. flow a couple psi when I open the keg and keep it flowing for a moment afterward. Then purge a couple times after that. Similar to what pros do though they have a much higher volume to surface area ratio than we do.

Are these dried at all or frozen “wet”? you need anywhere from 4-6x as much wet hops as dry due to th water removed the drying process. I think the recipes with 3 pounds are probably wet hops, but that’s only 8-12oz dried.That’s not crazy if you’re dry hopping, even if moderately

The 2021 Lupomax got released and a bunch of the 2020 is on sale for ~3.50-4. Amarillo was still 5 bucks and is first on the list so when you first click "2020" it will select Amarillo and show 5 bucks, but click around the varieties.

Hi all, thank you for your input. I reached out to Reddit, Northeast Barrel Company and Midwest Barrel Company as well. Their responses mirrored all those here, my concerns are overblown. As such, I've actually decided to attempt to swell the staves and get the thing to hold water. If that...

I had assumed that once the alcohol had evaporated, whatever remained was a suitable environment for potentially harmful bugs, or perhaps mold might have formed and then died off, but any toxins might remain. as for uses, 3 of us had planned a cinnamon toast crunch inspired beer, most of it...

I checked the box, it was shipped in November 2015. If I popped the bung and didn’t see any mold, you think it’s be fine? After expanding staves of course

Hey all, not expecting the answer to be "it's good" but I just posted this thread about this 10g rum barrel that has been sitting in my basement for a few years. If anyone has any interest in the barrel for decoration or whatnot, I'd gladly give it away...

I was going through my older Homebrew stuff and I found a 10g Rum barrel that I never used. It has been down there for years, sitting in the box, unopened. I just opened it today and the barrel was just in the box with some paper shipping materials around it, not in a bag or anything. It is...

IVe had success this way. I had a bad bag of Columbus that I needed for a 60 min addition. I went ahead and used it. I sealed it up in the Mylar and vac sealed that in a normal seal bag. I opened it up a few months later and it smelled wonderful. I don’t think it takes alot of O2 but time...

I know nothing about this style or how it’s meant to be made but could it be a flame vs ember problem? the flames causing too much soot on the rocks? Would it be out of bounds to do this with charcoal instead of logs?

Is a stein brew the hot rocks brew? Cause that’s cool as hell

Yeah that’s what I leave it as. I actually use this little mini regulator and it kinda sits at zero when it’s wide open like that cause pressure can’t build. But you’ll know you’re too high if you can’t press the lid in with the prv open

Hook up co2, pull prv and rotate 90 so it stays open. Push lid in, drop hops, close lid. Let it keep flowing thru prv for a moment. Close prv, increase pressure, purge a few times. Remove gas

Late to the table here but when I dry hop (just did it tonight) I keep the co2 on and flowing at a few psi. Pros do it along the Same way but their headspace to volume ratio is way better than even a full corny. Then I purge a few times when it’s all done. I’m sure I could do better with...

Haven’t had fidens yet. I recall dgallo mentioning when they opened and seen them mentioned here but other than that nada. Used to drive all over but 3 kids keep me a little more grounded. The delivery has been wonderful ha. they did a mosaic week and shipped a curated box of a 12 “special”...

I’m still team “other half is great”. I’ve noticed a lot of growing pains with the newer breweries and I could see how starting those up may have detracted from the “better” more experienced brewers being taken away from Brooklyn has caused ebbs and flows in quality. Gordon Ramsay can give me a...

seems I forgot to reply. I hook up gas and flow at a couple psi. Pull the prv and turn 90 so it stays open then push the top in. Dump in hops. Close lid, retune prv to normal, increase pressure to 20 or so and purge a few times. Repeat for ddh. Sometimes will transfer to dry hop keg sometimes I...

Yeah tape probe to side about half way up the keg And then tape an insulator on top of it. I just use a folded paper towel
