Yeah, I will defently take a hydrometer reading. For the bubbling the entire time it bubbled about every 5 seconds. I like the sound of the bubbles It is like a bubbling stream on a creek that relaxes you at night lol. It did stay at a constant temp of 68 until furnace went out. I agree...

Good day all. So last Friday I made up my Chocolate Espresso Stout. It was an all grain. Starting gravity was 1.097. It started bubbling in the Fastfermenter the next day. Steady no massive bubbling in airlock. I know that it is not a sign. but I like hearing the bubbles. Early Wednesday...

After you clean out your ball make sure you sanitize it then you can reattach. I have not had a problem with the oxygen going up and through the beer. If you keg you can put some co2 in the ball before you attach. For taking a sample I would go through the top. If you have a baster, such...

Got done brewing up the 12th grain and is in the fermenter now.. That is funny old fable farms. My wife and I are both Hawkes fans even though we live in Oregon. The beer is made from 11 grains and me being the 12th brewing it and four types of hops.

A laguntis Imerial stout is what i am drinking right now. When my tanks are empty

It is not in fermenter yet, but will be. My ode to the Seattle SeaHawkes that I call the 12th grain.

Well, now I am not able to get the items and he was throwing in another 3 corny kegs he found and another 5 gallon steel fermenter and some other stuff. I have some repairs to vehicle that came up that I have to use the money I was going to buy this with. darn break downs.

Nah, was a homebrewer. The guy I am getting these from built his stuff up over time. He said he had stopped drinking do to health concerns. He said He was also a Brewing instructor in California.

So found this on craigslist for 850 bucks. Will be picking up on the 27th. Going to keep four of the ball locks and sell other four and four of my pin locks so i have matching set. Buddy of mine is already working on selling the 8 and he said he might by a couple.

I think I will just convert the ball lock into a pin lock, but good advice.

okay thanks guys for the input guys. have a great weekend

Thanks guys for the input. Have a great weekend.

Good day all. I had just picked up 5 corny kegs. 4 pin locks and one ball lock. one pin lock does not have the pin lock connections though. I figured changing the ball lock to a pin lock. so all are the same. what modification would I need to do to the ball lock to convert to pin lock. or...

Quick question. I know this has been probably asked before. Can I use my keg cleaning tabs to clean the inside or are those to harsh on the plastic. If so what is the best way of cleaning it.

Yeah, it was just mainly a rant of what I had done. I have been brewing a couple of years and had not done something so stupid. Hopefully another person will see and say oh wait I don't want to make the mistake that guy made.

Good day all. Well, a few weeks ago a buddy of mine gave some of his wort that he had left. It was the second running's of the mash. I took it home and it was about two gallons. I did the boil the next day and added some other fermentable sugars I had to it. After it was cooled down. I had...

Well so far i am liking the ff. I dumped off the trub the other day and now just collected the yeast. It seamed easier. I just noticed that i had put the closing valve up side down no biggie. Oh it was an oatmeal stout that i made and put in

Well, yesterday I emptied out the collection ball. Cleaned it out and resanitized and then I put co2 in it and reinstalled for the did not want the fear of o2 in like others. Sometimes better safe than sorry. I noticed in I am liking so far. no leak issues.

Well, got my first batch in yesterday. Now just waiting for the bubbling to start. Only issue I had filling it was puppy kept wanting to help so made a little mess

Well, I just picked up one of fermenters yesterday. I have read the issues that and hope no problems. Going to be making my oatmeal stout here in a few days so it would be great to have and not have to transfer to secondary for the longer fermentation. We will see how it turned out in a few...
