Sounds like you are doing everything you should. How long is the dip tube itself? I mean when I drop mine into an empty keg, it sits at the bottom. Does yours hang?

I purchased filters for the end of my floating dip tubes. Brewed last week - should be transferring in about 10 days - I will let you know how it works out.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I dont have a spunding valve so I dont think I will be pressure fermenting. I am double dry hopping and it seems it would be difficult to add hops not only once but twice during fermentation. So I think I will just add wort, pitch yeast, cover and attach...

Planning on fermenting in my kegs for this next batch - would love to get away from carboys. Im planniing out my brew day and I have a couple questions. After I transfer my wort to the keg and pitch my yeast, do I add any co2 to it or just throw the centercap on and the blowoff? (gas...

I have been using a whirlpool wand to add whirlpool hops after boiling the wort. I dont do it to create a trub cone or anything just to add more flavor to the wort. Question is, how important is it to get the temp down as quickly as possible to 170 to add my hops. - I mean thats the temp I...

Good read. This could totally change the way I dry hop. When I first started I was dry hopping for 7 to 10 days. After reading this Im thinking I wont drop any until about 2-3 days left in primary.

Hello, Looking to start fermenting in my corny kegs as I have had a few issues with oxygen and Im tired of lifting/cleaning the carboys. I plan to brew a 9 gallon batch soon and would like to ferment in 2 5gal ball lock corny kegs. I will use a gas disconnect connected to a tube running down...

Thanks guys. hottpeper13 - if I add the sugar after high krausen how will that affect the ABV? Vale71 - so if Im understanding you correctly - add it to the boil and just use the calculator as normal for the yeast starter with the OG and FG BrewersFriend states with sugar addition accounted for?

Looking to add Corn Sugar to my beer to up the ABV in making a high ABV DDH NEIPA. I use a calculator to determine the size of my yeast starter. Will adding the corn sugar throw off the numbers for the yeast starter? 1 more question - to raise the ABV is it better to add the sugar to the...

Would you be willing to ship anything to 14464 - at least maybe the smaller stuff? - thanks

It's a Kenmore 5.0cf. See pic. Good luck with your build.

You could easily finish a keezer build in a weekend, so long as you have the supplies and tools. You can check out my build and cost breakdown here: My first keezer - Cost and build steps. Of course mine is a small chest freezer and not a stand up. Good luck to you and make sure to post pics...

Thank you for your reply. great stuff.- when do you normally add the enzymes? During fermentation? Beginning or end? I was only adding Crystal malt because I read it would help give some body and mouthfeel to the beer. What is a high dextrine malt I could use instead - besides Chit malt -...

My friends an I are trying to create a flavorful, lo-cal IPA that doesnt taste watery with ABV not dropping lower that 4%. Using Brewers friend and trying to use mostly ingredients we have on hand i can only get the calories down to about 128 and the abv is at 3.96. Ive noticed changing my...

Duuuuude... looks awesome. Please continue this and update us geek with pics.

Amazing job. Is that all for you? Do you have a big beer drinking family or have guests often? I can barely get thru my 2 5gal cornies in a month or 3. Looks perfect.

Looks professional. Love it - thank you so much for sharing all the photos and progress!

So another brew day behind me but not without issue. Made 11 gallon smash beer and I had about a half ounce of star san mixed with about a third of a gallon of water sitting in the 6 gallon carboy that I forgot to dump before I added the wort and my starter. I'll probably dump it but wanted...

Seriously considering that. Thanks!
