I am doing an American brown. I'm mostly going for flavor and aroma from the hops though as opposed to a ton of bittering. I'm only going for 35 IBU's on it so I was going for more of a balance between the sulfates and chlorides.

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has a tried and true water profile for a brown ale. I'm going to start building my water from RO water since I can't use the softened water. I was playing with a calculator earlier and settled on adding I think .5 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp calcium chloride, .5...

Man 2 weeks will be a tough wait. This might seem like a silly question but is my beer improving at that cold of a temp while the yeast are dormant or is it pretty much what it is at this point? I do plan on using 10 feet eventually but figured I could get away with 6 feet for now since it's...

Hey guys. New to this kegging thing and I had some questions about dispensing. I have done my homework some. I've had my milk stout sitting at 32 with a PSI of 5 to 7 for 4 days. According to the chart this should give me 2- 2.2 volumes. My first question is when will my beer be carbonated? I've...

I effing hate bottling. Such a hassle to me. Brewing is fun, and drinking your own beer is really fun but man, bottling. Not a fan. Just kegged up my first batch. I think I'll like it a lot better.

That makes a lot of sense. Now here's me being me and thinking of the worst card scenario for everything. I did have it stuck to the side covered from ambient air over night and the outside of the keg was reading 40. Do you think the liquid inside is any cooler than the outside shell cold enough...

Want a specific volume*

I have a fridge with a temp controller that I use to ferment beer in. When I control the fermentation temperature I just stick the probe to the side of the bucket and cover it with bubble wrap and this gives me the exact temperature of fermentation. Now I have my keg in there and I want it at a...

Hey guys. I fixed my problem. My o ring was too thin like I thought. I just put two of them on and it sealed it. I'll have to look into ordering the type of oring that came with It. Thanks for your help guys.

It fits right around the dip tube but it's a lot thinner and less bulky. It's black and not the o rings for the posts. I put those on as well recently so I know what those are like. It doesn't seem tight at all like it would create a seal. When you screw on the post is it supposed to push down...

Mine is much smaller than that. The bag I opened says "diptube o ring" though. I'd send a pic but my phone camera is having a hard time taking a good shot.

Do You think it's just because the star san is foaming up or should it not leak at all? CAn you tell it's my first experience with a keg?

Are there different kinds of diptube seals? THe one I replaced it with is a lot different

Brewer's edge keg lube

It is good and tight. Are you talking about the o ring on the dip tube? THe one I replaced seems a lot different than the one that was on it. It doesn't seem to really seal, just sit between the dip tube top and the post opening beneath it.

So I've just cleaned my keg. I have it filled with 3 gallons of starsan and ran air through it to seal it. The air is pushing the starsan through the bottom of the hex nut on my out post. I@o guessing it shouldn't do that. I just put a new gasket on the dip tube so I don't know what the issue is...

Yea I used a calibrated PH meter so it's probably accurate. What can be expected with a PH this low?
