Ok so heres my question, and i suspect ill have to fall back to some of the grizzled veterans on here for a consensus on this one. When you're using an immersion wort chiller to get the temp down to yeast pitch levels, any who has tried knows that agitating the chiller in the wort will...

Well, if i direct pitch, im just worried due to its inactive state...itll have trouble with attunation. I mean, i could order more but thats a 3 day wait.

At the moment, im boiling a hefe weizen up, but heres the problem. My wyeast 3056 activator for it isnt expanding like normal (its 3.5 months old or so). So, it seems clear theres a delayed reaction going on there probably due to the inactive state of the yeast. So heres my question, what...

good call, i couldve swore it was that fitting, but as you said, it was the nylon washer, i was originally just putting it inside the nut and screwing it in..and that wasnt working. This time i aligned the nylon washer where it needed to be and held it there until i screwed the regulator on...

I'm just getting into kegging and just bought a CO2 tank and dual gauge regulator, well i finally got it filled today and i hooked it up, and when i opened the CO2 tank valve, gas was rushing out of the area in the picture i circled in red. Any tips? Am i forgetting something or is the...

Heres my question: Im making a fairly potent belgian ale at the moment, and i threw it in the primary 7 days ago today, and roughly 12 hours after i put it in, its been fermenting a storm. Gas discharge through the blowoff tube roughly every 10 seconds. Now...I would like to transfer it to...

As a side note, i smelled the top of the airlock as its bubbling (its only been fermenting for 48ish hours now) and it smells like cider. Not sure what thats all about

Yeah again, i was so terrified of sanitation issues i was afraid to put anything else into the wort so i never got the pre-fermentation OG. Was kind of stupid i know...it was my first batch and i was a little stressed.

Hi, i wanted to ask the pros around here for an opinion. I went ahead with an amber ale for a first time malt extract brew and the boil went well. I think its important to note that i had an especially large kettle so i did a full 5 gallon boil off the bat. It did take me a few hours to...
