I transfer from my secondary to my keg, cool for 24 hours, then add gelatin, wait a few days, carb up and drink. So I would say about 5 days.

looks like you are right on that one.:mug:

Those are spider mites.

What type of spider? Small spider mite? If so you need to spray.

I used this method once also. It worked great.

I will just take about a cup of the slurry after I transfer the beer to my secondary, and pour it into the fermenter and just add the new wort. It starts bubbling in about an hour or so.

I get 2 row from my local brewery, for $35 a 55 lb bag.

I used to use one, and it did not work very well. This type of manifold works great.

Does anyone know how to autotune a ta7 temp controller? or know how to set it up? the directions for this thing are horrible.:mad:

+1 on the muslin bag. works every time for me.:mug:

Yeah it's a chiller by dairy xpress. here is a pic.

Thanks to my sister, this huge plate chiller went from cooling milk on her farm, to cooling another item on the food pyramid... BEER..:mug: It works great, takes wort from boiling to 70F in one pass, it only used about 10 gallons of water, and took about 2 minutes. I used to use about 50 gallons...

I love cascade!!! I couldn't find any for awhile, but was able to score 11 pounds from my local brewer. They have been cutting back on using them for some reason, leaves more for me I guess.:mug:

If you have a local small brewery, try and ask them to get some yeast for you. I buy mine for $50 for 500g. Makes it about 86 cents a batch.:D

These are a lager and and IPA from Makokiller Brewery.

I use their 2 row. I get it from a local brewery 30 bucks for a 55 lb bag. Tastes just fine. They actually won best beer with it.

Yeah, I know that is a lot of beer. I give a lot away to friends and family. They throw me a couple of bucks for grain and stuff, but I just love to do it. Thinking of starting up a brew pub sometime. NY state just passed a law that helps out the craft brewer as long as they buy some of their...

Once you fill a keg, and fill it with co2 do you need to keep it cold? I would like to get 4 or 5 of them to fill. My kegerator should fit at least 3. Or do you have to put co2 on it at all? I brew a lot of beer maybe 20 or so gallons a week, and would really like to start kegging.

yeah you might be right with the sugar. maybe I will just let it sit a little longer. it's been 2 weeks though, and normally everything is good to go by then. Looks like it is time to start kegging.:mug:

So I have a beer that I make quite often, but my last batch has me stumped. If I open a beer that has not been put in the fridge, and pour it into a glass, it looks and tastes just perfect. If I take and put some of the same beer in the fridge and cool it down to like 38 or so, it has no head...
