How would you suggest getting a lemon flavor into a summer ale? Fresh lemon juice? Soak the rinds in vodka? And then do you add the rinds or the vodka? And how much would you recommend for a 15 gallon batch? Thanks for any suggestions..

One more question: What if my 10 gallon batch only comes out to say 9 gallons after fermentation and dumping the trub over the weeks etc? Do I just fill each of the two kegs with closer to 4 gallons of beer than the full 5 gallons? Is that okay? Will that affect carbonation or anything...

Thanks a lot for the help!

I am also planning to keg for the first time. I am going to try both ways. Using the corn sugar with one of the 5 gallon kegs and force carbonating the other 5 gallon keg. I have a few questions though. (1) For the keg I plan to use the corn sugar in, once I seal that lid I should blast it...

Thanks for the advice. Any other suggestions or reccomendations?

I just purchased a stainless steel conical fermenter. What are my options for bottling/carbonating? I plan on putting some of the beer in kegs but would also like to bottle a good amount since I like sharing with friends, designing labels, etc. How would you recommend I bottle (and carbonate...

That's awesome! Would like to see what the finished project looks like!

Thanks. I'm actually probably going with the 27-gallon because I will brew with a buddy and split the batches. So I 'only' need to drink 10 cases or so:). And my friends really like to drink also... As for the temp control, thank for the info. Since I am setting up the fermentor in my...

I also read about these temperature control gauges (to heat or cool your brew while its in the fermentor). How do they work and can you add one to any conical fermenter?

Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated!

I am in the process of searching for a 27 gallon conical fermenter and have narrowed it down to Stout and Blichmann. This is all new to me going to a fermenter like this. (1) What are my options to regulate the temperature using these fermentors? I plan on having the fermentor in my basement...

Thanks again....I'll def have to take that into consideration and put some more thought into this plan.

What do you think makes the Stout fermentor better?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks a lot for the feeback! Good to know and much appreciated. Any other advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated as well. Anyone finish a basement and put together a brewing set up in their basement?

I am finishing my basement and setting up a 27 gallon stainless steel fermenter, kegging system, bar with taps ,etc. Has anyone finished a 'brew pub' like basement before? Any advice? Specifically how/what would you suggest I set up to be able to boil at least 10 gallons for partial boil (in...

Thanks for the feedback and advice. Much appreciated.

Hi, I am looking to purchase a 27 gallon stainless steel fermentor and have narrowed it down to two. Both are the same price so I am more concerned about the quality of each fermentor and the company's customer service more than anything. Plus I will be ordering additional items such as a...
