I had that happen when I was using a brush/cap combo, then I switched to a cap only and haven't had the problem since. Look up "Beer faucet cover cap" That fixed the problem.

Quick update, I kegged the beer last Saturday per @IslandLizard 's advice. Threw in a bag of hops and cooled it. After a few days on CO2 I tried it and it is quite tasty. The beer tastes great, a little on the green side, but very drinkable.

Yes, there is huge headspace. This is a 1.5 gallon batch and my 5 gallon fermenter was the smallest I had available. Looks like this "beer":) is jumping the line to be the next on tap! Do I need to worry about doing any extra steps to cleaning the fermenter and keg when done with this beer? I...

I found bubbles sitting on top of the wort this morning when I went to dry hop my pale ale. Picture attached. Is this the start of an infection? If so, can anything be done? I was planning on kegging it days from now and let it condition in the keg for about a month. Thankfully this is only a...

Update: Cold crash guardian has been installed and the lager is slowly bubbling away. The bag is slowly filling. Thanks again for the advice!

5924.5 + 5 Gallons Citra + Galaxy hopped India Pale Lager = 5929.5 gallons

That looks like the ticket! Just ordered one, I imagine it should be here by the time I start lagering. Thanks!

My only problem with lagering in the keg is that my fermentation chamber isn't tall enough to hold a keg, and my kegerator holds only 2 kegs(1 beer keg, 1 cider for the SO). The misses would not agree with no cider for three weeks, and I don't think I could go 3 without homebrew! I currently...

My current BIAB set up is an 8 gallon tall boy kettle that I use with a propane burner. I brew mainly IPA's/ NEIPA's. 13 lbs is about the biggest grain bills I brew with (I do 5 gallon batches for kegging). I have just about all the goodies a home brewer needs (fermentation chamber, stir plate...

5864 + 1.5 gallons of Yooper's House Pale Ale =5865.5 gallons

I plan on brewing a lager next weekend and I have never lagered before. I plan on using Saflager W-34/70 and fermenting at 50 degrees for about 2 weeks. Going to bring the temp up to 64 for a diacetyl rest for 2 days, then lager around 32 degrees(whatever is the coldest my my mini fridge can...

Terve! Was that beer found in the states or in Finland?

Just wondering, how does everyone else handle changing keg sizes on the scale? I have a couple of 1.5 gallon kegs and it feels a little silly having to reprogram the interface each time. Is there a way to save keg profiles on the app that I am missing?

Repositioning the keg on the scale solved the issue. Thanks!

I think that I am getting a slight gas leak through my out post when pouring beer. The beers pours, then a "psst" with foam, then more beer followed by a "psst" with a bit of foam. (Excellent description I know!). I am going to try tightening the out post and see if that makes a difference...

For anyone interested, I kegged today, never added the additional sugar. ABV ended at about 7.6%. Sample tasted great, sure it will be even better when carbed and cold!

Mine likes to increase and decrease the recorded beer volume when the compressor kicks on and off. Anyone have a fix or ideas for this? Seems weird that it doesn't register a ghost pour and records the volume going up and down. No problem with the factory settings, but the thermometer was off to...

Rubbing alcohol may work wonders on the glue(depending on type). Saturate a paper towel in rubbing alcohol and leave it on the glue for about a minute, then rub and see if it comes off.

What Marc said. Though don't buy 1 empty gallon carboys unless real desperate. Go to the supermarket and look for fruit juice or wine in 1 gallon glass jugs. It will cost the same or maybe even less than buying an empty 1 gallon glass jug. That way you get something to enjoy and a free carboy...

Are there any bubbles coming up the sides of the fermenter? Does the liquid foam up when mixed? You should have activity right now. CO2 bubbles can form on your hydrometer and lift it up giving the strange reading.
