I am going for the "blind hope" approach to this situation (just keep swimming, just keep swimming). I bought my unit 2 months ago to start brewing beer on a limited schedule taking care of a newborn and finishing up a masters degree. My wife will give me hell if the automatic brewing machine I...

Also, cutting prices doesn't mean the company is going under. They could have had a high level of inventory on hand (which means most of their capital is tied up in product) so it could be a strategic move to free up cash for re-investment. Even multi-billion dollar companies like Bayer are...

I last communicated with Brewie on 8/8 responding to their beta software they rolled out to me. BIG improvement on user interface! You can skip steps in the process (in case you need to restart your recipe) and a bunch of other stuff....... I can take a look tonight and post some pictures of the...

Where did you draw your sample from? Top or bottom of fermenter? I’ve done a few high gravity brews and had some “bitter” flavors the first few days, but that was probably due to the large amount of hops I added during boil. If you are getting any trub/yeast from the bottom, that can make...

I take it this sold a while ago?

This is awesome! Great solution- I’ll be ordering one or two for the kegs. Thank you for the help.

I just kegged my third beer and thought I would dry hop in the keg using a mesh cylinder. After force carbing, the dip tube spit up a glob of hops, meaning the can opened, and now I have 3oz of hops floating around. Are there any creative solutions to transfer the beer to another keg without...

Glad this thread existed. I bought one used and thought something was a little sketchy that it would run the pump for heat, but not cold (flipping back and forth between them).

I think that’s my issue. I soaked the lines and connectors, but I was using hose water that only comes out at 70ish degrees and probably didn’t do a great job cleaning.

lots of good advice here. I am having the same issues, but it seems like a regiment change is in order.

Sold.

Glad you were able to fix it. I just kegged my first drinkable beer after jumping in balls deep to brewing about a month ago. (my wife also shakes her head and has unkind words when I pick up new hobbies). The first beer was over-carbonated and had a bitter taste (co2 bite) because I tried to...

Do you still have the SS for sale?

Hummmmm.... Interesting info. Who sells reasonably priced glycol chillers these days, or is there a good place/forum to watched for used gear? I haven’t seen much in the HBT sales thread.

After experiencing some wild temp swings and offputting flavors in some beers, I am upgrading my fermenters to SS Brewtech 7 gallon buckets with FTS for lagering and cold crashing. Space is limited, so I am a fan of the vertical stack. After reading the FTS info, it says ice baths will need to...

How long did you leave it in Primary fermentation, and do you cold crash?

I am powering through a HB American Ale that oxidized while racking to the keg.... it would be alcohol abuse if I dumped it out.....and it’s certainly alcohol abuse trying to finish half of it in one day. My APA needs keg space, so I have no choice. #NotTheHeroWeDeserve, but the #HeroWeNeed

What type of bag/canister do you use in the keg for hops?

Thanks for the advice. So much to learn......

If a beer should condition for let's say.....30 days, but the instructions say dry hop for five days after the first five.........Does it matter if I hop later in the schedule to avoid racking to secondary and then kegging? I've been reading that leaving your beer in primary for a while has good...
