    First Time Keg Order, how's the price?

    I considered the dual body regulator but for the price I figured I would just wait until my next bonus at work and buy enough secondary regulators to split everything off and have individual PSI control per keg.

    First Time Keg Order, how's the price?

    I put together my first kegging kit through keg connection and honestly I could not find a better price+shipping on any of the items but wanted to get a second look and see if the price is right. Four 5 gall Pin Lock = $119.95 (29.99/keg) Kegerator faucet kit (Taprite Regulator, 4ft. gas hose...

    Brewer's Best Conditioning Tablets save undercarbed bottles?

    I really do not care about head retention. The issue is that it is VERY lightly carbonated, just enough that it still tastes completely flat after your 4th sip. Four others that have tasted it and agreed it is as close to flat as you can get in regards to carbonation. First time I have had this...

    Brewer's Best Conditioning Tablets save undercarbed bottles?

    For one reason or another I have an undercarbonated yet great tasting bottled Nut Brown Ale. The proper amount of corn sugar was added, 4 weeks later they were undercarbed. I believe it was a yeast issue so I tried adding a few grains of yeast to a couple bottles and waiting 2 more weeks, but...

    First Time Vanilla Use, What Happened?

    Sounds like I need more beans and let it sit on even longer. I'll keep trying and see if I can get the sweet spot.

    First Time Vanilla Use, What Happened?

    Geez! Is there any hope with vanilla and bottling?

    First Time Vanilla Use, What Happened?

    I feel like this would be a problem whether adding to primary or in the bottling bucket. Any suggestions for the future? Would one just overdose the vanilla?

    First Time Vanilla Use, What Happened?

    Hello, I finally decided to try some adjuncts with my last brew (a Nut Brown). I chopped and scraped 2 vanilla beans, soaked them in vodka for a week, added all of it to primary, and let is it for another week. At bottling it smelled strongly of vanilla and tasted medium to medium-high on the...

    British Brown Ale Nut Brown AG

    I brewed the all grain recipe on Saturday with my BIAB process. This was my first time using Nottingham, and I had not seen much airlock activity but saw a krausen had already come and gone. As of this morning it was already down to 1.018 from 1.058! Dang, Notty moves fast. Going to give...

    Sweet Stout Deception Cream Stout

    My LHBS has Pale Chocolate (400) and Chocolate (625). Should I go with one over the other, or some kind of mixture of both?

    Inkbird itc-308? $35 gets you wired, 2 stage temp controller.

    It is rated for 1000W(120V) output, so as long as your freezer plus heating element are under 1000W(120V) you should be fine.

    Inkbird itc-308? $35 gets you wired, 2 stage temp controller.

    The general consensus is to tape it to the side of the fermenting vessel but making sure to also tape some sort of insulation over it (foam, washcloth, etc.) to get a more accurate reading of the vessel.

    Inkbird itc-308? $35 gets you wired, 2 stage temp controller.

    Check here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=536763&page=8 Scroll down 5 posts to Inkbird's post, it has a pic of what it shouldn't look like and more. The 308 I received actually was having a different issue, but they replaced it overnight and were very easy to work with.

    Thoughts on my water?

    Hello, I am fairly new with only a few extracts under my belt. I want to switch to BIAB and other all grain recipes. I know something that can make a big difference is the chemistry of my water. I retrieved the following from my city's water report: N/A -Calcium (Ca+2) N/A -Bicarbonate...

    Inkbird itc-308? $35 gets you wired, 2 stage temp controller.

    Every time it does this it resets the settings, I think it's stuck in a reset loop or something. I contacted Inkbird, and I can always get an exchange from Amazon.
