I ordered the three keg set up from Keg Connection and there are no hose/tubing clamps where the picknick tap connects, just shoved in. Is this a problem or should I go buy some. It would suck to have those things blow off in the middle of the night. Why would they not put those on?

When i carb my beer (12 to 14 psi for at least one week at 42 degrees) should I not connect the party tap during this time to lessen the chance of leaks? After a week can I just connect the ball lock party tap or do i need to release the pressure, connect and the repressurize?

It was all-grain and I did not top it off with water. I assume one did have more break material just because it was the last one siphoned from the pot. I think I'm going to siphon half the carboy in to each keg and then repeat. simple solution.

I brewed a ten gallon batch of nb american wheat a week ago. split the batch into two different carboys. after a week of fermenting, they are different colors. What causes this and can I or should I some how blend the two to make a consistent flavor/visual profile? I'm just trying to avoid the...

I brewed a american wheat, amber ale and a cream ale about four months ago. I bottled carb and conditioned the beer for 2 weeks. all was good, then had to work out of town for three months. I left a six pack of eack beer in closet at a temp of approx 70 to 75 degrees. I primed the bottles with 1...

I was wondering the same thing, just starting to cool off in south Ga. let me know how the lite bulb works out. this is my first fall/winter season with my A/C fermentor, I only do ales but the Temp swings down here can be 40+ degrees in my garage.

St. John: small, not very touristy. Only get there by fairy. lot of beaches. rent a house or stay at one of the all inclusives.

Thanks, I got them from NB for back ups, but I will have to check when I get home, all though I do have 2 of them.

Has anyone tried it? I have some extra coopers dry ale yeast and would like to save a little money. The discription says "woody, fruity esters at higher temps" I normaly use saf-05. fruity is fine but the woody kind of scares me. Any thoughts? what temp should I ferment?

How do you stop it from getting that low, seems like all of (only 10 ag) mine are below 1.010. It doesn't bother me, but i don't understand how to control it.

Awesome! I thought it was just me. I think we should wright a book. "Drink Good Beer and Lose Weight" We could retire and brew all the beer we want. HAha. Let me dream!!!!!

I drank nothing but bush light for 15 years, got a Mr. beer for christmas, brewed 2 beers and was addicted. Went from Mr. beer to all-grain and love it. I've spent just as much money but with the help of a brew partner. Haven't drank a bush light (and will never again) in 5 months. And the best...

Bottled it yesterday, tasted great. Pollen Pale Ale-OG:1.060 FG:1.008

I never heard of such a place, sounds pretty cool. how does it work? Is it a Club? Do you have to pay? Are you positive you are bottling the same beer that you cooked?

Thats a relief, I'll give it another week or so and see how she taste. I made it purposely strong so i don't think dilution will be much of a problem.

More like four gallons, thats part of the reason for the backflow. Warning: put blow off tube and starsan below the level of the beer in fermentor especially when useing a plastic better bottle with ac unit ferm chamber.

Noobie Screw up! I had a quart of star san mixture back flow into a carboy that had been fermenting for three weeks. I know, I can't believe I did it either. What should I do. wait and see if the yeasties will eat it? I was planning on bottling it tomorrow. Please Advise! Thanks!

Ahha, the piston seal, i bet money that is the problem! Puting a filter on it would increase resistance and the sucktions is looking for the path of least resistance. I will try filling it with beer and see how it works, thanks!

is it hurting anything? should I put a filter at the out flow end of the siphon tube instead?

I like to dry hop in my primary fermentor. Trying not to get a lot of hops and other stuff into my bottling bucket, I put a couple of pieces of cheese cloth at the base of the siphon as a filter. For some reason, even though the bottom of the siphon and filter is completely submerged, LOTS of...
