    Replacing Beer Lines on Kegerator Tower

    The top of the tower should be removable. Take that off and check out the nut that is on the inside that is holding the shank to the tower. If you have a wrench that fits it, have at it. If not, you can buy one. Some of them are sold as faucet/shank combo wrenches.

    The curse of the newb... foamy beer

    Yeah HD lines are a no-go. I also don't think they are food grade. You definitely need a high quality beverage line. What is your serving temperature? I still think it is likely that you may have also over-carbonated. Try pulling the pressure release valve a few times over the course of a...

    The curse of the newb... foamy beer

    What is your serving PSI? You likely over-carbonated the kegs if you set them to 30 psi and let them sit for many days (how many days is many?) Are you using a kegerator or a keezer? If a kegerator, do you have a tower chiller? 3/16" or 1/4" are the common beer line tubing dimensions. Either...

    New England IPA hater

    Malted wheat (used in weissbiers and wits) is a malted adjunct and is a cloud inducing malted adjunct, just because it is unmalted it is wrong to use in a recipe? From BYO: "Oats are low in starch, high in oil and protein and extremely high in beta glucans. As a result, they are not used as...

    What brewery are you visiting?

    Looks like Leesburg, VA. I must have driven right by it the other weekend heading out to some wineries and Adroit Theory. Damn.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    How's it taste? I have a pound of simcoe I have thought about using for this.

    How do you pour a NE IPA?

    That's how I do it. I also do that with some Wits and Weissbiers as I like what the sediment adds.

    beer pours fine but minimal carbonation

    I vote more time. Beer to beer it will differ in the time to fully carbonate at a steady pressure like that.

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    Bottled today with a half pack of EC-118 and 4.3oz sugar. Can't wait!!! The sample from what was left in the bottling bucket was excellent.

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    I would go for it. I used three pounds and the flavor from the gravity samples is great.

    Affordable PH Meter Reccomendation

    I have this meter and have used it for a Gose and one other subsequent brew. I love it and after a few weeks storage I went to calibrate it was still spot on.

    Software that utilizes mash temps and PH in calcs

    Beersmith does for both of those I believe.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I add my first round of dry hops at fairly high krausen and then the second round when fermentation is slowing down. Google biotransformation in dry hopping. I think dry hopping at high krausen helps maintain the haze and juiciness which is the goal of this style.

    Eastern PA, D.C, VA Trip

    Tired Hands was a great stop outside Philly on a day trip. Highly recommend that. In DC, I second Right Proper. They make some great stuff. Bluejacket near Nat's Park is great for lunch and some brews. As a beer bar, Birch and Barley on 14th St. in DC probably has the best selection or local...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    Thanks for the feedback. I did follow the fermentation schedule for the most part and broughtt he beer up slightly over 80 and then set the controller for 78-79F. After the krausen dropped it cleared very quickly and was surprised how clear the gravity sample way. Sounds like I should be good to...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    I'm at a bit of a fork in the road and could use some advice. My gravity is down to 1.016-1.017 after almost two weeks (OG 1.091). I under-pitched a bit, but knew that going in and also used just short of a 1lb. of extract to hit my OG (grain crush issue). I am willing to bottle this thing...

    Do you leave on the yeast cake when you bring the temp back down after fermentation is done (if you did do that?). I would really like to avoid secondary if I can leave it on the yeast cake for 3-4 weeks more and then bottle.

    Blood Orange American IPA first try

    Yep, only juice and it was store bought, not fresh squeezed. Overlooked that detail when preparing for the brew day and ended up scrambling to find anything blood orange.
