I'd be interested if anybody has a solution other than bending refrigerant lines down 90 degrees. I just got a free mini fridge, which I'm going to convert. A 1/6 sanke just barely fits under the freezer tray. I guess I might end up just bending the freezer tray up slightly to get a little bit...

Speaking of Miller Fortune, it's undistilled so it finishes smooth. Wtf?

No worries, it's going again. I wasn't really worried about the last stalling, since it never really got started. I was more worried about the thick foam whipped up during oxygenation preventing the yeast from getting to the wort. I think that was the case, since a few stirs got 'er going again...

I should add that I've never used dry yeast before. Just sprinkling it over the top of the wort seemed unusual to me, but that's what the instructions indicated. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Home Brew mobile app

My buddy gave me a double IPA homebrew kit which I made over the weekend. I followed the instructions, with just a couple exceptions. First, the kit called for steeping the specialty grains at a temperature "just below boiling", but I steeped at 155 degrees. It also called for a partial 1.5 gal...

Funny thing overheard from a nearby table at the local watering hole, which happens to feature lot of local brews: Guy 1: I see the board says $3 drafts, but which ones? Server: All our drafts are $3 tonight. Guy 1: Oh, good. I'll have a Coors Light. Guy 2: You're an idiot. I'll have a Sun King...

Yep, sounds like krausen in the airlock from vigorous fermentation. This just happened to me on a porter. I found the krausen bubbled through the airlock and plugged the tiny holes in the cap of the airlock. I used rag soaked in warm starsan and a toothpick to keep the small holes clear. I did...

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.

Went to bottle today and I was a little surprised to see this atop my brew. I'll admit, I am relatively new to homebrewing so this could be perfectly normal, but I'm hoping for some feedback. For reference, this is a "Slovenian Blonde" extract kit from LHBS. It came with 4 lb light DME, 0.4...

I've been thinking about going with one of these... http://www.lexingtoncontainercompany.com/New-Drums.html Sent from my Nexus 10 using Home Brew mobile app

Definitely no wort chiller necessary in this weather (-13° here now). I got 5 gal down to 68° in 15 min on Saturday just swirling the kettle in a plastic tub filled with snow and water. I made a run to the store last night and had to chuckle when I saw a case of 2° Below on the shelf. Might...

I'm interested in the 3/8 tube as well. PM sent. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Home Brew mobile app
