Brewed a batch yesterday that had a preboil volume of 7.5 gallons and 1.050 gravity reading with temperature accounted for. After the boil and adding a whirlfloc tablet I ended up with ~4.5 gallons at 1.048. Now this seems physically impossible that at a lower volume of water my SG would drop...

Thanks! Turning the PSI up to 40 made the leak a lot more visible. It ended up being where the gas line hooked up to a 5/16 barb.

This Friday 6/12 was my first time kegging homebrew. I completely sanitized and cleaned my corny keg and replaced all the rubber gaskets. I siphoned the beer in and set the pressure to 10 psi and put it it my mini fridge. I sponged on foamy sanitizer bubbles around all the connections to check...

Ok cool I didn't know if carbonating it would stir up all the sediment from cold crashing or not.

Okay so relatively new to kegging. I have a batch that has finished fermenting/ conditioning in primary carboy. I wanted to transfer it to my corny keg to cold crash it and then carbonate it because I don't have enough room in my fridge to cold crash in the carboy. So should I cold crash it...

My house is a little cooler and I did toss the starter after 12 hours. I will definitely let it go for longer to see if that makes a difference and totally spaced putting in yeast nutrient. One other thing that I forgot to mention was the slurry I used that was in the fridge completely settled...

I tried making a 2L starter using 200grams Briess DME and 2L water. I boiled 15 minutes. Didn't have a hot break or boil over. Let it cool to 70 degrees and then pitched ~100billion cells of previously harvested yeast slurry from a couple weeks ago and let it go for 12 hours swirling the...
