I’ve never mashed before. Should I just skip the 6-Row. I only got this because of several suggestions in the reviews.

hello all, I am brewing Smashing Pumpkin from Northern Brewer this week and I have purchased an extra 2lbs of 6-Row and a large can of Pumpkin purée. I plan to roast the purée and add to the boil. However, I’m not sure when I should add it to the boil and when I should add the 6-row? Any ideas...

Hello there, I'm very tempted to try this recipe, however I'm not sure when I'll be able to brew. Because of this I usually get dry Safele Yeast so it lasts longer. Do you recommend I do dry yeast or get one of the yeasts listed for $10...

Hello there, I am brewing the Liberty Cream Ale from Midwest supplies: https://www.midwestsupplies.com/liberty-cream-ale-extract-beer-kit I have some extra simcoe hops lying around in my freezer from sometime in the past. Would this cream ale be good with simcoe hops? There’s 2 oz of cascade...

Any help to unclog this?

Hello there, I am fermenting an IPA in a sanke keg with a spunding valve. This is my first batch with a spunding valve. I was told here in the forums to just leave the spear in and spund from the start in primary. I was worried about it clogging but was assured it’ll be fine. Well I went to...

Hello all, I have just kegged two kegs of ginger beer for a friends wedding in Friday May 25. I’m carbonating it starting right now on Saturday morning. Can I please get some tips to ensure it’ll be carved by Friday ensuring it’s not over carbonated? Thank you! Lorne

I did now :) Thanks I reached out.

Considering you're talking about my sister, I agree, she barely drinks! But nothing wrong with that, because you have a brother-in-law that also LOVES to brew and drink beer. So um...come on by with any tasters and I'd be happy to give you my opinion and 2 cents (like we already do). But it...

I only need 1 By the way

How much for shipping a 1/4 barrel to Centennial, CO 80112?

I’m in search for a 1/4 barrel (7.75 gallon) keg I’m in Denver, CO so that’s idea. But can ship if needed. Thanks, Lorne

Thanks for the quick response. I have 6 gallons of beer in a 15.5 gallon half barrel keg. So I'm positive I won't get any blowoff. However I did notice there was no pressure in there this morning. About 7-8 hours after I pitched the yeast. Hopefully that'll be different tonight. Should I...

I have a quick question: I just brewed and am fermenting my first batch in my half barrel sanke keg. I just put the spear in and threw on a spunding valve. I have plenty of head space for a 5 gallon batch however do I need a blowoff tube for a while? Or is spunding from the start ok? I have it...

Hungry4Hops, Can you help me with a parts list for how you made your Tap Tower? I'd like to make a T like that. I bought some Black Round PVC and then realized I can't tighten down my taps!? Can you help point me in the right direction for what to buy at Home Depot or Amazon? Thanks, Lorne

Do you happen to have a link for this calculator? I was planning on just using the spunding valve. But now I am thinking otherwise thanks to your help! Thanks, Lorne

Have you ever used a 1/4 barrel slim keg? Is that enough space to not use a blow off? Is there any point in fermentation you use a blowoff then switch to spunding? Or do you use spunding valve from the start? Thanks for answering all my questions!

Thanks for the reply. My next question was do I leave the spear in the keg? But you already answered that. Do you know if sediment and trub will clog it? Thanks, Lorne

Thanks for all the replies it’s super helpful! This would be my cheapest option so far. Would I be able to transfer to my corny kegs using this?

Anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to brew my next batch soon and want to do it in a keg. Thoughts?
