1089 + 5 g Pliny Clone =1094 gallons only 8906 left for the Pepsi challenge!

Since joining homebrewtalk I have never been steered wrong when posting a question... Today I discovered one of the valves on my gas manifold is leaking by dunking it under water, it is the one circled below. It leaks when the valve is open, but not closed. The gas manifold came with a used...

777 + 5 Gallons of Yooper's Pale Ale = 782 Gallons

I BIAB and since I starting milling my grains really fine my efficiency has gone way up. Most brews(from pre-packaged kits) are coming out 1-1.5% higher ABV than intended(first world problem, I know..) With a certain grain bill, if I want to reduce the ABV from 7% to 6% can I simply reduce the...

I prime my kegs with 50% of the recommended sugar for the batch size, purge with CO2, and store at room temperature for 1-2 months with no bad effects. I'm in the south so room temperature can get up to the mid to high 70's. Hope that helps!

Greetings! I have a Danby minifridge which has a 2 tap tower and can currently hold 2 5 gallon corny kegs. I'd like to increase the capacity to 3 kegs. Setting up tower and lines is easy, I am just unsure how to extend the fridge portion to hold the extra keg. The kegerator is outside on a...

FWIW, I bought these exact ones linked below in December 2020 and have had no issues so far...

514 + 1.5 gallons Dale's Pale Ale Clone =515.5 gallons

Are you squeezing the bag to get as much wort as you can after your mash before sparging? When I sparge, I place the bag in another empty kettle, pour in the water, then give it a good mix and drain. No need to heat the sparge water, since all we are doing is essentially rinsing the grains. By...

268 + 5 gallons of Hazy 8's NEIPA =273 gallons Only 9727 gallons left for the Pepsi challenge!

I have done quite a bit of kits and want to start messing with changing around the dry hops to add my own taste and start developing my own recipes. On my internet searches I find what dry hopping is, when to dry hop(high krausen, post fermentation, in the keg, etc.) but I'm having trouble...

85.2 + 1.5 gallons Sip of Sunshine Clone = 86.7 gallons Only 9,913.3 gallons left for the Pepsi challenge!

+1 to getting a mill and setting it to a fine crush. It is yet another piece of equipment to buy, but it will make a huge difference with your numbers. Good luck!

It will make mostly solid chunks of ice when frozen, especially the first time, gets to be a bit more of a slushy after that. The alcohol will be the first to drain leaving the ice behind. The orientation in which it is frozen won't matter. After freezing, set upside down and it will slowly...

48.45 + 5.05 gallons of Kama Citra = 53.5 gallons

I agree with @Spikybits they look like yeast rafts, no need to worry.

8738.6+1.4 gallons NEIPA =8740 gallons

Not sure if you have already planned on how to freeze and concentrate but when I made it I saved a bunch of 22 oz and 2 liter soda bottles. Fill and let freeze over night. After freezing, I took them out of the freezer and set them upside down on top of 1 quart mason jars. Let drain till all...

This is what I went with. I disconnected the line from the regulator and pumped BLC through the gas lines with help from a small keg, an additional gas disconnect, and co2. Sure enough, I got some bright yellow residual NEIPA out of there. After soaking with BLC I ran water through the lines...

Tonight I noticed I had some beer in my co2 lines. After reading the threads I could not find any info on how to do this... I see lots of comments on how to avoid this (install check valves, don't overfill the keg, etc) but nothing on how best to clean. I was thinking to remove the co2 line from...
