Going to do my first 10gal batch this weekend but fermentation fridge only has enough space for one bucket/carboy. Would it be ok to put 1 carboy in my keezer at 35degrees for 2 weeks since I have 2 cornys in there that are tapped now?

So I kegged my imperial rye IPA last week after dry hopping in a bucket with a spigot and did not put hops in a bag thinking they would drop to the bottom of the bucket and would stay there when transferring to keg. Unfortunately the hops stayed in suspension and went into the keg as well...

About to purchase 2 more kegs for my keezer in the works. Looking for the best deal I can get for used 5 gal ball lock kegs. My local Homebrew shop sells them for $73 and Midwest supplies is out of stock. I have checked on CL and can never find any. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks...

So I have a batch ready to keg but I have over 5 gallons (prob closer to 6) and only have one keg. I have bottles but no dextrose to prime with. Would it be ok to fill the keg and leave excess beer in fermenter for a few days until I get my lazy self to store to get more priming sugar? My gut...

All of the threads I have read say that the best tubing to use for beer line is 3/16". All of the liquid disconnects i have seen for ball lock kegs have 1/4" barbed fittings. Am I missing something? Does the 1/4" barbed fitting fit the 3/16" tubing?

Just added 1oz hops to my wort, boiled over and now have 1-2 cups wort all over my stovetop. My question is how much will this affect my OG and overall taste of the beer?

My beer has been in primary for 10 days toda and FG of 1.014 two days ago. Going to check it again today. If it stayed the same is it ok to bottle? What would be the reason to leave in primary for longer? Not planning on secondary. I know one of the reasons is to let it clear but will it do...

Would a rectangular 48Qt rectangular cooler work for 5 gal batch of beer if I wanted to start all grain recipes? I've noticed that many people go with the cylindrical coolers but I have a rectangular cooler that I could sacrifice to make a mash tun out of.

I brewed my first kit (English brown ale) late night 10/18 and pitched the yeast around 70deg. Put in 6gal carboy and place in closet. The temp of the house ranged from 60degrees one night then up to 72-74 one afternoon since I don't have the A/C on anymore. The airlock was bubbling after...

I recently got a brew equipment kit with bottling bucket &6gal carboy. What is the easiest way to measure gravity after I pitch the yeast if I'm fermenting in the carboy and only doing 1stage fermentation. Also I have seen people using dark plastic screw top bottles for conditioning. Pros &...
