Ball bearing

The last several years I have had certain beers I brew each season( spring will be miabock, blonde ale and likely a Scottish ale) so most of those are repeats with very little tweaks and the other beers were I’m trying new things, keeps a good mix of new and getting consistently good results on...

Buy a new bucket

If you don’t have one drill a drain hole at the bottom then you can just hose out when it gets dirty. also get some damprid if you have moister problems. I keep a tub of it in my chest freezer fermenter to keep the moister down.

The keg is rated to 36 psi so it can handle that but you will need a sounding valve that likely goes to 30psi.

Enjoy and have a great birthday!

If you back-sweeten you need to kill the yeast first. Been awhile since I have back-sweetened something so don’t recall the dosage so do a quick search. but sweeten with juice at serving time gives you the most options and variety

Burned out

When they don’t want to be alone and you wonder why you have two crates…
