Hello! I own a brewpub about an hour from Austin, TX and we have decided to add a nitro tap to our current lineup. A customer of ours lent me his stand alone single tap kegerator and we converted it over with a nitro tap, regulator, and 75/25 mix of nitrogen and c02. I was really happy last...

Is it possible my second fermentation pooped out too and I'm just getting C02 offgassing? I'm trying to think of culprits.

1.000 on the nose .... I'm watching the airlock pop right now :confused:

I am checking this around room temperature of 70 degrees. I originally tested the 1.062 OG and the stuck 1.02 on 2 different hydrometers here at home. I was in such disbelief I tried it with 2 :p So that night after comparing hydrometers and racking onto the new yeast cake they were both left...

I brewed up an IPA with falconers flight hops roughly 3 weeks ago. 13 lbs AG batch. Hit my mash temp at 150 overnight. 1.062 OG. Yeast was white labs California Ale yeast. I don't know if my yeast pooped out or what, but 2 weeks in I did a hydro reading and it was 1.02 🙄 Tasted kind...

Thanks for the thorough and insightful responses everyone 🇺🇸 I had a family member swing by my house and carefully remove the airlock yesterday ... No obvious odors on either! Hopefully that's a good sign! I will remain optimistic and keep y'all posted. It will be July...

Brewed up a RIS and a falconers flight IPA last April. Both had nice OG's and very active fermentation. Circumstances and the birth of my daughter took me to Virginia shortly after. I left both brews in their primary buckets in my closet. I will be returning to Texas this summer so they'll be...

Tastes great! For now ...

Sorry for sideways pics

As the title states. I have had a split 10 gallon batch in 2 fermenters of my jalapeño cream ale. They've been in primary for 2 weeks. A few days ago one fermenter started showing signs of white growth on the surface while the other did not. I added my jalapeños to dry pepper them 2 days ago...

Well I added 1lb of extra pale dme to my fermenter last night. The beer had been going steady for about 36 hours when added. I boiled the dme in a metal pot and put it in an ice bath of water for about 5-10 minutes to cool some and added it in. All airlock activity ceased but it may have been...

Thanks guys. Ended up with an OG of 1.05. I guess it should have been up around 1.06 or so like my other beer that I didn't bathe my foot in. Crap. Live and learn. I had no extra DME on hand. Brew store opens tomorrow. Is it too late to add some additional DME two days after fermentation has...

Well as the title states My foot hurts!!!! Kidding, kind of I am using my new mash tun with valve and false bottom. I added 4 lbs of grain and 5 qts. of water to it and began mashing at 152. I walked out to the garage after 18 minutes of mashing and accidentally kicked the valve to my false...

thanks! I need to do more homework on understanding all of this. I really appreciate your time calculating that.

Any idea how much gravity would be created in a partial mash batch with - 3.3 lbs golden light lme - 2 lbs golden light dme - 1 lb candi sugar This question is bugging me.

Haha thanks! I know, I'm knocking on mini vans door if I gain another expense as I have an 11 month old daughter and wife. Congrats on the child and house, they sure are great aren't they :)

St. Pug, Thanks for the quick reply. I cannot explain the 180 degree reading either, I had two brand new thermometers, different brands, but they both always reflected the same temperature. I was doing this since I was paranoid about making sure my temps were correct, first time mash tun...
