This is what I am thinking

I have seen the TILT and they look nice but not in position to drop a $100+ on them. When I used my keezer to ferment last batch I taped thermo to side and worked well. Now since I have one keg on tap I cant use the keezer and feel like thermo taped to side in a cooler with ice packs may give...

I actually have the below thermo pro that use for sausage fermentation. Battery lasts well over week on one charge. Can vac seal it and sanitize bag and drop in keg. Are foodsaver bags ok to use in fermenter?

We had two LHBs that I knew about and one closed. The one remaining I believe carries fermintis and whitelabs Question on using ice packs to control ferment temps. Is it ok for ice pack to touch side of fermenter? Id imagine that activity on inside would prevent that one area from dropping too...

Yeah I have to get this batch done as I am leaving after this weekend for a bit. My brew bag is lost in transit so I ordered cheap one off amazon. Picked up pack of Safbrew S-33 today which appears to be fermintis yeast for NEIPA. As far as fermenting temp I put an empty keg in the cooler bag...

Well LHBS doesnt carry wyeast so just going to roll with us-05 For fermenting I Keep the house at 71 but would have to carry keg upstairs and store on elevated shelf need a ladder to get to. This is only place 2 year old cant get to and would be a pain to get down to dry hop etc. To try and...

Since didnt get brew bag in mail may run to LHBS tomorrow and grab pack of 1318. Read some reports that this strain is very active. Would 2.5 gallon headspace in a 5 gallon keg be enough room where I can use an airlock?

I cut about 1 1/4" off dip tube prior to fermenting Pumpkin ale just finished up. I transferred from fermenting keg to serving keg with 5mm evabarrier tubing connected to a liquid ball lock on each end. Beer never touched O2. Once beer was transferred I opened fermenting keg and the Trub was...

I actually ordered a 200 micron dip tube screen for inside the keg so wont be needing the hop sock. I may use it in future for hopping during boil. Would there be any downside to just adding all the dry hops at once on day 5 or is staggered dry hopping better? Again once I open the keg to add...

Thanks for the replies. I plan to hopstand around 170 for 30 min like you said then in ice bath. I like hoppy beers but since this is going to be more for the family a little less hoppy would be a good thing. I didnt buy the kit. I got all ingredients at LHBS. Ill have about 1oz of hops...

So this weekend will be first attempt at BIAB. I ordered the brew bag and hop sock and should be here tomorrow so brew day will likely be Sunday. Recipe is NB fruit bazooka and modified for a 2.5 gallon batch. I also want to add some sweet orange peel but unsure of how much to add. I have seen...

So this first batch I wanted to test brew to glass in 8 days. I fermented for 6 days, 24 hours cold crash, then force carb at 30PSI Just tried a sample and has good pumpkin flavor. I think the 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice in 2.5 gallon batch was a little too much but not so much that it is...

Yeah want something go on keg. Input together airlock off QD with bent tube inside 3/8 beer line and the height was right up against lis of keezer. Would prefer barb coming straight off keg this would be on a Pepsi Keg

So I received new of posts in mail I ordered yesterday from Amazon. Went to install and the gas line screwed on perfectly. The beer line wouldnt go on. New post was too small. I installed the original but did change out the poppet to the universal kind. The old poppets were destroying the o-ring...

I was able to tighten the leaking ones down enough that they sealed. Not sure if over tightened them or not but atleast its sealing. I will measure the thread size and order replacement posts for all. If I do in fact have different sizes I will be sure to mark which ones go where. Are there...

My fermenting keg has 7up on it (one that pressurized at 30 then leaked to around 5-10. The keg where I am unable to get the posts off say Pepsi. The keg that is leaking completely says firestone

So I decided to get a start on replacing the o-ring on the used ball lock kegs I bought so it would be ready to transfer when batch is done fermenting. First I was unable to get the liquid post off. I put a lock wrench on it and beat with a hammer and nothing. Finally got gas post off and the o...

Uploaded everything into Brewfather and for me like layout better. Showing 4.21 mash volume and 3.61 pre boil. With losses this equates to 2.75 gal post boil. .25gal sits below spigot so there is my 2.5 gallon. Only adjustment made was NB recipe cut in half would call for 5.25Lb of Pilsner malt...

Not sure on NB Efficiency. Sounds like most efficiencies for BIAB are 72-80%. Should I adjust the grain bill so brewers friend calculates 1.064 ABV? Also regarding calculations I want 2.5 gallon in fermenter. Doing calculations I get the following Fermenter - 10qts Grain absorption -...

So I decided to try and move away from extract and try BIAB. I purchased a bag and hop sack online yesterday and should be here in about a week when pumpkin ale is finished fermenting. I wanted to do Fruit Bazooka recipe found on northern brewer but for 2.5 gallon. I decided to input everything...
