Thanks for the info! I'm planning on only adding fermented beer to the kegs, which should keep the trub down. Do you think not clipping the dip tube would be better? I'm not sure how important trub is.

A bit late to the party, but I'm getting ready to start a Solera project using kegs, I was going to cut a bit off the dip tube to leave some trub in there, and never pull more than 3 gallons per keg so I still have a couple of gallons of the old beer to sour the new beer.

So I know this is an old reply to an even older thread, but I had a Old Peculiar clone that was submitted to a homebrew comp, they used the Trappist Ale yeast, and although I've never had the real Old Peculiar, this homebrewed one was amazing.

I'm glad I asked! Thanks for that, I appreciate it!

A quick sanity check on calculating the gravity contribution of the fig concentrate I'm planning on adding to a porter. Looking at the nutrition label of the concentrate, it contains 100g of sugar per 8 fluid ounces. I'm assuming I should use that number instead of the overall carbohydrates...

I like to take my homebrew to homebrew club meetings for sharing, and wherever else I can bring it. I've even been known to bring it to work :-)

Happy Homebrew Wednesday! We’ve heard a bunch of different things about No Chill, the primary one is your beer is going to be infected, but also that your beer is going to be too bitter, with no hop flavor or aroma.

Happy Homebrew Wednesday! We had some viewers mention their Kegland Bucket Blaster after we released our Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner video, and it just so happens that Jesse picked one up. Here's a demonstration and review, as well as some thoughts comparing the two washers. #HBW...

If it didn't taste off, and I were you, I would check it again in 4 days, if you don't have activity and a krausen, then I would take @IslandLizard 's advice and dump some US-05 in it. That wort is getting pretty long in the tooth. If you don't have some on hand, I would go about getting it now...

I haven't listened to the podcast, but have done a fair amount of reading on it. There are a lot of studies that show the negatives, but there are also those that show regular consumption has benefits, so long as you keep it to a reasonable amount. The medium I've found is to limit myself to 1 -...

When I picked up my Fermzilla, it came with a length of silicon tubing and a floating tube, you can purchase them on Amazon for about $20, and I've been using them in kegs without an issue. They come with a short tube to replace the liquid tube in the keg...
