I’m pretty sure trying this would be delusional. The surface of dry ice sublimates instantly when it comes in contact with a liquid that has enough specific heat to convert the surface of the ice to a gas. That covers all liquids at normal temps. That is why there are so many videos of people...

I've been told that making it with PR or distilled water will make it last longer. It apparently starts to look milky when it is past it's useful life. If you are the sciency type you can also test the PH of it. I don't remember what value it is supposed to be under, but I'm sure you could...

I started brewing La Petite Orange early in my brewing hobby. I typically infuse the orange zest from 4-6 oranges in about 1/3 cup of vodka for about a week and then pour the whole thing into the fermenter a few days prior to racking. I believe the recipe calls for granular sugar now, but I've...

If you try the cPVC manifold make sure you use the 'cPVC' and not just PVC. It's my understanding that regular PVC will give off a lot of chemicals at mash temps. It's made for cold water and non-potable applications.

If you are looking for some clarity, I suggest you do NOT naturally carbonate with sugar in the keg. Just rack your finished beer into the keg with a focus on minimizing oxygen exposure, set your keg in your refrigerator and put CO2 on it at about 12-14psi. Then let is sit for two weeks on CO2...

I think I made some progress...but literally 1/4 pint after I made the last adjustment my keg kicked! In looking at some cleaning videos online I realized a detail I didn't understand. Inside the coupler is a check ball and a plastic retainer that keeps the ball in position. The retainer is a...

Something was plugged. Next question?😛

That’s awesome! Good reason to be proud! But who is Lorena? :P

The inspection doesn’t solve problems. At the most it finds problems. It should be in the plans. Talk to your builder/contractor.

I think you would find that most building codes would require the whole floor to slope toward the door at 1/8" per foot. I'm not sure about your area.

Concrete is not waterproof. If you don’t want any water to get in you need a waterproof system. One lesser expensive option is something called traffic topping. It would be a decent choice given where you are at in construction. You would want to either build curbs around the sides of the garage...

The discount alone can be worth it financially. I often use it when going to Old Chicago with my relatives and get a $15 value. That a couple times a year plus the LHBS are break even on money. Their website really does have a wealth of information as well. I certainly love HBT for the many...

Whatever you put in those joints make sure it can take movement. Precast planks flex more than you would think when you put live load on them.

Gentlemen and Ladies, At some point you are going to spend more on your dry-hopper than the actual conical!

Don't mess with it. Yeast is resilient, if it needs to take a little longer or grow up come more cells to finish your beer it will. One of the hardest lessons to learn in making beer is patience. Tinkering can makes things worse. The yeast know their job. Let them do it.

By the power of Grayskull, I will have the RoboBrew!

I assume you are talking about Corny kegs? If you are getting foam from a full keg it is caused by temp and pressure not being shaken. Corny kegs pull from the bottom as do most kegs. Even sitting a couple minutes would let liquid beer settle to the bottom of the keg where the dip tube is. If...

Because it’s not 1995 anymore.

I've got a Kegco Sanke-D coupler that I use with commercial kegs when I can't keep up with brewing enough. (Which happens too often lately!) The coupler I have is this one. Lately I can't get a beer out of the thing without major foaming. If I just pour a pint out I would typically end up with...

I've been struggling with my sanke keg adapter lately. I think I finally figured out that I was over tightening the thing. I was getting big ugly bubble foam and it was leaving the beer completely flat. I backed off the twist of the connector to just be tight enough to hold beer and things...
