After finally getting most supplies I couldnt wait and decided on whim to start first batch this afternoon. I decided to copy northern brewer smashing pumpkin recipe with the additions they recommend. Converted to 2.5 gallon batch: 1LB Rahr 6-Row .25lb Caramel 40 3.3lb Amber Malt .5lb Pilsen...

Thanks Eric I actually have 1/2" barb on kettle valve so will run 1/2" ID into the corny keg fermenter. My plan was to get the HD just for temporary to get this brew started but Amazon shipment of few items is delayed so I will go to home brew store this weekend to get correct tubing. I will...

Had question on tubing. Since I am waiting on stealth bomber nukatap to release going with picnic tap for now. When I get the Nukatap I will be going with barrier tubing but for now going with cheap stuff. I noticed a lot of talk with beer sitting in these lines and causing off flavors. Here is...

In St Augustine Florida. Guy was selling a 5, 10, and 20lb tank all for $100. The 5 and 20 were filled. I bought the 10lb only as the 20 would have been too big. The plans for design have changed a little but. Due to space I am moving CO2 tank outside connected to dual regulator. One hose will...

Thanks NGD. My plan now is to mount tank outside keezer. Not really a big deal as will only have two kegs but this setup is also a sausage chamber and has two dehumidifiers inside so want to save space 20lb tank dimensions look like it may be too big. Ill probably go with 10 pound and mount on...

So going to pick up co2 tank tomorrow. Found Some used online for sale. Can get empty 10lb for $30 or full 20lb for $50. Would 20lb tank be overkill?

Saw those but a little pricey. Here is the predicament I am in. By time I get the Speidel 5.3gal, SS valve, grommet attachment, 1.2" NPT adapter, spare caps and gaskets I am at $130 I can get the 4 gallon Anvil for $100 or 7 gallon for $130 and it appears they already have everything. How does...

So I am leaning towards a Speidel. For space wise need the 5.3 gallon. i would like to make it so can do low pressure closed transfers. Have seen a lot of accessories that allows this but not an adapter that allows for air lock and a gas port. Want to re do spigot to a ball valve. Do you have...

Man this is already addicting getting back into it. Hopefully work doesnt look at search history for last two days because they will think I have drinking problem. One question I had was I see people not wanting to get oxygen into beer. At what stage is this important? From kettle to...

Been researching a little last few hours. and stuck between bucket and conical fermenter. Does head space matter when fermenting? Wondering if I got a 7 gallon conical and only did 2.5 gallon batches if it would matter. Looking at the following Brewdemon fast ferment fermzilla BB bucket - Had...

Thanks. I will move forward with the bucket or brew demon NS mentioned. will do research over next few weeks on best taps and equipment for outside operation. I have never used beer smith but willing to take a look. Does it have pre loaded recipes in it that you choose from and just select...

Been out of the beer making game for about 3 years and wanted to try it again as I have room for nicer setup. Made a post in the beginners forums with questions if anyone willing to help me out. Looking forward to learning a lot on here. Thanks

Hey all. First post here and hoping to get some guidance for getting back into home brew. About 3 years ago I started with the basic brewers best kit (ferment bucket and bottling bucket). I ran a few of the BB kits and had good success. Few bottle bombs but eventually turned out pretty well...
