I found a corner inside by the back patio and have been monitoring ambient air temps for a couple of days. High 68.6°F Avg 68.2°F Low 67.9°F My Wyeast 3942XL smack pack package says range is 64°F - 74°F. With this being the case, do I run the risk of it over heating itself in the house? Hence...

@kevin58 I am brewing one 5 gallon batch and have already purchased my ingredients for this specific recipe.

@kevin58 Would that then make the argument for fermenting in the chilly/cold garage with heating mats and an inkbird controller?

My next batch is a Blood Orange Wheat beer, and I'm adding 3 extra lbs of DME to increase body and ABV. I'm concerned about under-active and over-active yeast, so I really want to dial in the temp as much as I can given my available ambient conditions @z-bob When you say a heating pad, is the...

My Kegorator is nicely setup, so I'd prefer not to take it out of commission for fermentation temp control. My house is averaging swing temps of 65-74 degrees in the closets and bathrooms. It is a poorly insulated house, and its not getting fixed still for a couple of months. I have no way to...

Is there a difference between brewing coriander and coriander bought in the bulk aisle from the grocery store?

Wow! My thread got really long...I just jumped in to update everyone...I was dong bad temperature conversion math in my head...my beer was not cold enough. After making the line 10 feet long with 3/16” tubing, I still had foam! Then I found my thermometer...my beer was pouring at 40...

@home-brew-dude thank you for doing this video. Very well done. One question, how are you managing to raise the temperature when needed? When I finally finish setting up in my garage, I’ll need to keep it warm as well.

A 2 hole drilled stopper with stainless tubing is fine for connecting the gas and liquid lines...I really just need good feedback on using the NO2 regulator for multiple purposes, i.e., swapping between disposable cartridges and tanks...

I’ve done my first keg. If I store my beer at 34 degrees, and are using a soda keg with with a standard size kegorator, do I really need 10-20 feet of beer line if I prefer higher carbonated beer? I’m using 1/4” beer line to match the barbs in the QDs. I’m getting a fairly foamy beer when pushed...

That’s is technically Wine Keeper’s argon setup, but it’s identical for nitrogen.

Bubbling my topic to the top of the list... :;

I'd like to set up wine dispensing by the bottle. Coravin is nice, but is awkward to use (and slow and expensive). WineKeeper and others are nice, but more than I'd like to spend. And, since I've got tubing, manifolds, rubber stoppers, stainless tubing, etc, I'd like to put together my own...

I am upgrading my starter equipment. I want to control two separate keg pressures now, and will want to upgrade to a third keg around Christmas next year...the third will be for small batch experimentation, sodas or just plain soda water when not used for something else... I am stuck between...

I'm attempting to build this this week. How did you connect the half-inch copper pipe to the 1/2"MIP to 1/4" compression fitting?
