    Mini Keg questions.

    Looking into a mini keg to take my beer to partys, camping and judgings. How important is closed transfer to the mini keg to avoid oxidation if the beer will be consumed in the next few days? I am really interested in the Vevor 270oz model because it includes everything except a c02 cart. My...

    Best place to buy new or very good used Ball lock Corny kegs.

    My friends and I have about 10 5-gal ball lock corny kegs between us. We have replaced o-rings and poppets on some and have chased leaks with others. Looking to buy some new or very good used corny kegs. Best price on used I have found is $45 a piece from AIH. I cant find em new for under...

    No fermentation after 48 hrs.

    Took a gravity reading - it was about 1.020 so it must be fermenting. Pulled center lid to add dry hops and could see krausen ring. All good. I guess I must have a leak somewhere. Thanks everyone for your advice and input.

    No fermentation after 48 hrs.

    So if my OG was 1.052 and I use a picnic tap to pull a sample and it measures out at like 1.030 does that mean its fermenting? The FG should end up at 1.012

    No fermentation after 48 hrs.

    Used 2 bags (200B) and made 2 starters. Those kicked off really well. Cold crashed them after 24 hours for about 12 hours, poured off some of the beer and swirled the rest and pitched. Like I said - 1 of the 3 kegs is fermenting fine, the other 2 are not. Only real difference I can think of...

    No fermentation after 48 hrs.

    His house does run a little warmer - not usually under 70. He also shook his up and rolled it on the floor. I tried the shaking and rolling thing but it didnt seem to do much for me or my other buddy.

    No fermentation after 48 hrs.

    Hey guys, need a little guidance here. Had a brew day this past Saturday. Made 2 - 12 gallon batches using Omega yeast for the first time. For one batch we used Omega Bonanza on a 5.1ABV ale and for the other batch we used Omega Cosmic Punch for a 7.1 ABV IPA. We had some issues brewing as...

    Trying to make a Pecan Flavored ale

    excellent guys, thank you. My friend wants to try to re-create a brown ale he had at the Carolina Ale House. Cant find it on their website tap list so it was probably a specialty brew. He kept saying that it tasted of pecans.

    Trying to make a Pecan Flavored ale

    Hey, can you guys check my friends recipe? He is looking to make an amber colored ale and all he wants is a full bodied beer with a taste of pecans. Im pretty satisfied with the hops and yeast. Concerned about the grain bill and pecan addition. As far as the grain bill, we orginally had...

    Sounds like I will be eyeballing it - thanks everyone. :)

    ok - 1 last question about yeast starters and Ill stop...

    LOL. Im guessing this might be the only way. Just wondering if I should cold crash and get rid of some of the excess beer first or just split it up evenly after the starter fermentation has completed.

    ok - 1 last question about yeast starters and Ill stop...

    so not thinking about "overbuilding" or harvesting yeast from my starters but heres what I am looking at, I am brewing a 12 gallon batch so I can separate the wort into 3 corny kegs which I will ferment in. I can make 2 starters using Omega Yeast and 2L flasks and hit my target cell count for...
