Isn't there a such thing as hot side airation?(which is bad) Or does this only occur around boiling temps? ...also had to many one brew day and the pot slipped out of my hand... About 2 gallons made it in the fermentor the rest on the kitchen floor. It's still sticky this was about a year ago lol

You are a bartender in a corporate restaurant and you think about places where you can make Ed worts apfiel wine with out anybody finding it!

This really is a great way to ferment. I think the spunding valve would be really helpful. The thing I like most is how easy it is to take a sample for a hydrometer reading. Just hook up a picnic tap and draw it out. No worry about 02 exsposure or risk of infection. I did a 4.5 gallon batch and...

I bent my dip tube out until it touched the side of the keg. This left about 1.5-2 inches for the trub. I thought i would still have a problem but even from the first sample i pulled it was pretty clear.

Are cask ales primaried in cask? Or just secondary and naturally carbed?

For the first time I fermented in a corny keg. When it reached a few points from the F.G I pulled the airlock off the QD allowing it to naturally carb. I cold crashed it yesterday and was planning on transferring to a serving keg. Today I put a picnic tap on and pulled a sample. Wow. It's clear...

I am no pro by any means. I have been pitching on cakes for a couple years. It may not be the best practice. Maybe it is impacting my beers negatively? I do know I have never had a beer under attenuate using this practice. If you are entering it into a competition or really want to replicate a...

Do it! :rockin:

My main reason for wanting to carb naturally was to save on cost of corn sugar and c02. Why do you think it would take 4 extra weeks? Couldn't I start carbing in primary? Btw thanks for the advice. You guys ever use the ferm cap? If not how much blow off are we looking at?

I am looking into fermenting in corny kegs. I have few questions about techniques. 1. Do I need to cut the dip tube? 2. Should I place the air lock or blow off on the pr valve or the gas QD? 3. I was planning on about 4.5 gallons is this to much? I orderd FERM cap but do not have it yet...

How do catch the squirrel? More important how do you know when one is lactating?.....I used to think bmc was good beer. I remember I drank a snpa several years ago and thought it went bad so I poured it out! Tried another and decided I got a bad sixer:cross: Its funny how your tastes change...

I have my first due in a few weeks! I love brewing but I think it might be wise to put it aside for a while. In preparation I have taught a few buddies to brew. Hopefully beer karma will come into play here, by my calculations I should have a few years of free brew...!

I work very hard in a very busy bar. It used to bother me when people didn't tip. Especially when I went over and beyond to give them a good experience. Now I just feel sorry for them. This type of person most likely has a pretty sad life. I would bet they have pretty superficial relationships...

Tip your barista too!

I am currently a bartender and when the customer takes care of me and they come in from time to to time a few of there drinks disappear of the tab. This is pretty common and the management usually encourages it. It builds a client base so..... Tip your bartender you won't regret it!

Have to say. Tyler is a nice area. I used to visit often camping, it has a nice stae park. I lived in Plano for s long time (currently live in Houston). I loved home brew hq. The people there are great got me into brewing super helpful and friendly. If I would have gone to my lhbs here in...
