Märzen (sorry for potato quality). My first lager-style, I used 34/70 @ 53℉ for a week, then slow rise to 60℉ over another week where I kept it for a week before cold-crashing for another week. If you've kept track, that's grain to glass in 4 weeks. I could have let it lager for longer but I...

BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. This one marks a lot of firsts for me: my first beer brewed with homegrown hops, my first kegged beer, my first fermentation chamber-controlled beer, my first gelatin-fined beer. All in all it feels great to be out of the bottling game, I have a feeling this keg...

Brewed this for the first time last weekend, I pitched the Notty rehydrated and fermented the wort @ 55 degrees F. Activity was rapid and vigorous and after only 72 hours I measured an FG of 1.004 (confirmed with two hydrometers)! After 10 years of homebrewing I've never had a beer finish <1.008...

I never ended up raising my temp controller above 56 F because fermentation was so vigorous. It blew past my anticipated FG of 1.010 and hit 1.007 after only 3 days at 55-56 F.

I have about a 0.5 oz of irish moss left and then I'll be switching to whirlflock

Hi all, I read a lot of Nottingham posts here before I went ahead and brewed BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde this past weekend. I saw that a lot of users here pitch Nottingham in the 58-62 range and the packet states it can go as low as 50 degrees F, so I decided to have some fun with my (empty)...

I was trying to remember that one, thank you. I don't necessarily care one way or another but I have some vegan family members that won't drink my beer if there's gelatin in it.

Apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum. If I pick up a commercial 1/6 keg from the store to use in my home kegerator, do I need a sanke coupler? It looks like I would have to buy a "D" type coupler and a conversion kit if I wanted to dispense commercial beer from my kegerator however I...

Thanks for your thoughts, I was planning on using gelatin I'm the end but maybe I'll try psyllium on a test batch and report back!

Hi all, I know there are other ways to clear beer other than gelatin, but a thought came to me when mixing a glass of psyllium husk for my wife this morning. I had let a cup of psyllium sit out all day just to see what would happen and it formed a thick jellyfish-like blob after a few hours at...

Already a ton of great discussion in this thread so there's not much I can add. Just wanted to share a difference of BHE between two batches (no sparge and no bag, just the mash pipe for both) brewed a week apart. I brewed a Märzen last weekend, OG 1.058 and only single crushed my grains at the...

I currently have a dumper that I decided to hold on to and condition for 1-2 years just to see what happens. It's not an inherently bad batch, just bland and malty with some acetaldehyde on the finish.

Extremely helpful, thanks a million. Looks like I have everything worked out on my end now!

That'd be awesome, thank you. I can use my Dad's dremel tool to trim the door, I might just a file or a rasp on the shelf slots.

I did clear it with her beforehand but she got annoyed that I was frustrated. It's all good now that I was able to get the fit right. She also doesn't drink beer (or any alcohol really) so I promised her that one of those kegs will be Seltzer/Ginger beer and they lessened the impact I think.

I finally fit them without modding the door, but I'll do it anyway since I plan on drilling my shank holes through the door.

Perfect, this is the only fit that has worked without needing to remove the door protrusions (something I still plan on doing though). Thank you!

Chopping the door is definitely my next step and I bought some stick-on whiteboard material to cover the insulation. I think this will provide my best solution, thank you.

Another setup that will probably work, but the two kegs side by side just barely work with the shelf slots. It's the rubber handles that are making this fit too tight, but these have an 8.5" diameter which is smaller than some other 3 gallon kegs out there. I know that a collar would fix my...

I got all of my components to make a two tap kegerator in a 4.4 cu ft mini fridge (Danby Designer DAR044A4BDD-6 4.4 Cu.Ft. Mini Fridge) and my initial fit test has me stumped and frustrated. I just want to have two 3 gallon kegs on tap at a time but nothing seems to fit, and I'm baffled because...
