I have a 13.5 sankey keg that I was going to fill with my hazy kveik ESB, but I am questioning whether I will have enough to reduce the headspace. I thought these were 5 or 5.5 gallon carboys, but now I am not so sure. My last batch with two of these produced about 7 G of beer. I did fill these...

I have used gas-x or other similar products in a pinch, usually to prevent boil overs. I’m pretty sure the active ingredient is the same simethlicone or something. Even cherry flavored ones, but don’t tell anyone trying my beer.

You are keeping the caps on too tight, I think. If you aren’t letting the co2 out it will foam up when shaken or released.

There is some lactose in there which will contribute to the final gravity. It is supposed to be sweet. Previous advice is good.. give it some more time.

But the beer turned out really nice. I’m still trying to chase that dragon wedding batch, years later

Could government become Agile. What if laws were changed incrementally, rather than dropping another stack of (bill + pork + riders, or spending omnibus style. Require a super majority for incremental change and we could check the partisan seesaw.

I’ve been tempted to make a cocktail, or cock ale, with some Pollo Rico leftovers. Maybe a Black and Tan of sorts with your onion ale could be nice? if your serious about it, caramelize some onions in a pressure cooker with sugar and water... you might not make it past soup if it smells nice...

I was planning on hopping in the keg, but I have a free pound of wai (iti?) tai, so I was thinking of 2+2+2 ounce dry hop, 2+2+2 ounce dry hop, and 4 more in the keg? How do you spray the co2 to purge? I generally use ball locks.

And if I don’t have a spare tank of co2? I do keg, but tend to turn off co2 in between force carbing, because I can’t seem to keep away the leaks.

I have three 5.5G carboys that are not quite filled up to the neck. And rarely pushing bubbles through the airlock. Should I boil up some DME to add when I dry-hop, to scrub the oxygen? the hops just came in or I would have done earlier. I know you like my fermentation chamber / bathtub brew.

I got a free pound of “wai tai” hops from farmhouse (probably 2019). I’m guessing they are mis labeled wai Iti, which should go well with the Kveik citrus theme.. thing is I already used a lot of northern brewer for the flavor additions for the next batch. Think they’ll clash if I go crazy with...

Thanks. I am like a newby, since I’ve been out of the game a while. Should I add a bit more consumables when I dry hop, to purge the air? Also, I way over Camden’d since they were a bit old. Fortunately the vigorous fermentation also blew off those sulphuric aromatics, even though I can’t smell...

The first batch is getting better by the day, although next to no hop aroma.. and the second part is mostly ready. 2 carboys were on the yeast cake and tore through down to 1.011, but the other third I just put a pinch of the M12 in and never heated so it is taking it’s time. I pitched some...

For the second batch, I pitched in the first yeast cake.. I didn’t want to lose out on all those hops. And it is rip roaring away. Generating it’s own heat for sure as I pitched mid 70’s and it is up over my cheap thermo-sticker with a max of 82. I’m guessing 92f. I sampled the first batch...

My first time using the yeast and I have a 1.060 ESB grain recipe, but with a lot of late hops. I’m filling a 13.5 gallon keg with a couple batches and first time using a kveik yeast. First two < 4 gallon batches are headed for a 5 and 2.5 G corny kegs, I’m going to run 3 < 4G batches for the...

I planted three rhizomes two years ago: fuggles centennial, and either galaxy or glacier. Problem is I didn’t give them a trellis or even properly weed around them. I was hoping they would take off on the fence for a low effort yield, but so far 0 hops harvested. There appear to be some fox...

Anyone have suggestions for grocery store ingredient beer? Beano tab mash, oats, cornstarch and flour?

1.5lb malted milk 1lb brown sugar 1.25 lb granulated sugar .75 confectionary sugar 1 pot strong dark coffee. More than a dash of hot cocoa mix. 2 gas ex tablets(not sure if it helped with the boil over 2 campden tablets( in case we have chloramine this time of year) Dash sea salt (because why...

I am a semi experienced home brewer, and I have a challenge to make the most beer like prison wine possible given limited ingredients. Malted milk powder Sugar Brown sugar Honey Coffee Hot chocolate mix (don’t have decent cocoa powder that I would prefer. I actually do have some decent hops...
