All, the last two brews ive had a problem getting even close to the og i should be at. Last night i brewed a blue moon clone with a og that was supposed to be around 1.045. After a full 60 minute boil i cooled the wort and topped off with spring water. Added this to my carboy to the 5 gallon...

I just had the same issue and when i removed my tubing it had gone from clear to a cloudy pasty white color. Tried the oxyclean for a few hours and it did not remove the cloudy color, the tubing seems clean just an off color do you suppose its safe to use as its from my racking cane.

3 of these lids are stamped Firestone and have no pressure relief valve, the rest do have the fuse type valve. I haven't decided to leave as pin lock or change to ball lock. I guess it don't really matter as i'm starting with new parts. As far as gaskets (o-rings) go is there actually a...

All the kegs are stamped Firestone and have the steel dip tubes

These lids.

Can't get the picture to load but they have a large metal cover that folds over the posts and a place where it can be locked down. Just tamper proof maybe?

I want to start kegging some of my brews so I started to look for some used kegs. Happened to talk to a guy that used to run a place that closed many years ago. SCORE he told me he has some old pop kegs in storage I could have. I ended up with 7 pin lock kegs and 1 ball lock keg. One keg was...

Thumbs up to RiteBrew. I ordered 2 extract kits, a blue moon clone and a spotted cow clone. Fast delivery and better prices than I have found on similar kits. Just wondered if anybody else has ordered from them or found someplace with even better prices for extract kits.

I dont expect it to last long t my place either but didnt want to take a chance if something happened where I couldnt get it drank in a reasonable time frame. I checked our craigs list and nothing

I would like to start kegging at least one of my brews at a time to make it more convenient for serving when a few friends come over. My big question is how long will the beer stay good once its kegged and carbed? 15 days, 30 days 45 days??? Also who has the best prices on mini systems or used...

I can order one, I was just being impatient and looking for a quick fix. Ingredients are to expensive not to wait 2 days for a bucket!

Food grade makes sense, never thought of that. Im guessing the ones at WalMart are run of the mill general purpose plastic

This may sound like a stupid question but here goes. Can I use a plastic bucket I can purchase at my local WalMart to ferment in?? Both of my glass carboys are full at the moment and I want to do another brew. Are there some differences between the one ordered from a home brew supply store? I...

I have a Hefe going right now with Danstar Munich dry yeast and a light ale with coopers dry yeast. Thought the basement floor was a bit cooler but I have had steady temps of about 73 degrees in the carboys. My question is are the temps really high enough to cause any problems. A friend who has...

Decided to not use the honey. Started with 3pounds Pilsen DME at boil and added 1 oz cascade alpha 7.1% beta 6.6%. at 30 minutes added 1 pound Pilsen DME and 1 pound corn sugar. At 45 minutes added 1oz centennial alpha 9.5% and beta 3.6%. flame out at 50 minutes with the juice and zest of 2...

Any thoughts on the yeast?? This is something I have never used before

That sounds great might give that a try after this is bottled. One can never have enough beer in reserve!

2nd brew for the day just a little something I put together I'm my mind and your thoughts are always appreciated. 4 pounds DME 1 pound corn sugar 1 pound clover honey 1oz Cascade 1 oz Centennial Coopers brewing yeast I'm looking for a cross between a cream ale and a blond ale but I...

It's been a learning process for the past 8 months. I like traditional but I also like simple good tasting beer!

That's what I did with the DME added the additional 3 pounds at the 30 minute mark just a minute ago
