wow guys thank you so much these are all good ideas. Thank you for all your replies.

Not because it too hot but because is too cold. My house does not have very good insulation so I have to keep my heat at 76 in order to have the house around 70 but i really dont want to keep the heat that high when i am at work (it would cost me a fortune). My house is perfect for lagers but I...

it was an all grain kit from midwest supply, my SG was 1.060 and by the 5th day it was 1.014

Thank you guys, I think I will leave it for a few months.

I've had a lager on my mini brew for 2 weeks. The fermentation was completed in 4 days but i've kept it in the minibrew and dumping the yeast for 2 weeks but i am done dumping all the yeast. Is 2 weeks enough to keg or should i leave it longer for ageing..

Unless is a misprint on their website maybe, I just copy and paste from their site.

I thought this was to carbonate the beer in the keg Product Description Carbonates 5 gal keg in 15 minutes. Carbonating Stone with 1/4" barb: Carbonate your beer just like the pros. Simply attach one end a couple of feet of 1/4 inch tubing to the end of the dip tube inside of the keg...

Anybody here ever used one of these? I'm thinking about buying one but i want to make sure they really work. According to my LHBS it can carbonate 5gl of beer in 15min..

is just me but I only check gravity after boil and chilled. Can the boil make the gravity go up? I dont use a bag for my hops and sometime when I take a sample for my gravity check i see alot of hop in the gravity scale, can this affect the gravity?

What are the steps? I keep reading all these recipes that call for a single infusion mash. I havent made alot of AG beers just 3 and I have made them all the same way (mash for 60 to 90mins then sparge with 170 degree water).

My OG of my lageer was higher than the recipe I bought from Midwest. Not sure what I did wrong? I followed the instructions that came with the AG kit. Did I get a better efficiency?

Thanks for your reply guys...is interesting you use a rubberband on the yellow lid because I almost did myself but then I thought let me try it without it and it has been 5 days now and the yellow lid still on there and I am getting action out of the airlock so the yellow lid has to be doing its...

Guys I am using my mini brew for the first time and I am trying to find out when do i do my first yeast dump. I still see some action on my air lock but not sure if i should wait until it has finished fermenting completely.

Matt You are 100% correct I was thinking about my beer right before it happened but I will say one thing, I check on my beer everyday to make sure the beer is on schedule that day I just went home and took the family out and enjoyed them so much that I actually forgot to check the beer. I...

So the other day while driving to work I hit some black ice and my car did a 360 in the highway in about 65 mile per hour. I have a wife and 2 little girls so while my car is spinning I see an 18 wheeler coming my way so i thought i was done, there was nothing I could do to get out of the way...

Also another question. My SG was 1.060 after boil and chilled my temp was 85f how do i find out the find alc volume?

Guys I washed my HLT with 1 oz of starsan but only used like 3gl of water then I just empty the water and forgot to rinse it since it was too concentrated. when i was doing my sparge i noticed alot of startsan in my brew pot. I started to remove them with a spoon but I dont know if I ruined...

The beer was in the primary for 1 month and in the secondary for 8 days now..I took a gravity reading and it was done...not sure why the yeast would begin fermenting again...

So my first AG was a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I took a sample before I dry hop and a couple of days after dry hop and it was dead on, color and hop flavor everything...I left it longer than the recipe asked for..the recipe called for 5 days of dry hop..after 7 days the beer begin to have a white...

the total recipe grain was 12lbs...my strike water was 10 quarts at 176..I now know that I should have had more water...but thank you guys these are all good suggestions that I did not think of....Thank you.
