So I'm making an imperial IPA this Sunday and was going to make my starter with some washed 1056 from a red rye I made about a month ago. I harvested the yeast using the procedure described in this forums stickie. It was my first time harvesting and the 4 pint jars have a nice slurry on the...

So I'm just getting into kegging and picked up 2 reconditioned kegs. After I cleaned therm and replaced the seals,I pressure checked them. All seemed to be good and the tanks help pressure for 24 hours. What I noticed was the co2 guage on the tank had dropped about 5 psi over the day...

So, I see a lot of talk about this model Igloo for keeper builds, but I can't find any info on the upper temperature range of this freezer when it is set in refrigerator mode. I would test mine, but it is being built out for now. I'm mostly wondering because I'm heading to the brew store this...

So I'm making a 5 gallon bourbon aged stout this weekend with an estimated OG of 1.113. I have never made a beer this strong and have been doing a lot of reading on it and the last question mark I think I have is on how to properly get the yeast ready for this. My plan, after reading what a lot...

Does this polypropylene mesh with hole sizes 3/32" (0.094") seem too small? It looks small but there should be plenty of holes to prevent a stuck sparge. I plan on supporting it over the bottom of the cooler with copper tubing and sealing any gaps on the side with food-grade silicone sealant.

Got my hands on some perforated polypropylene sheet with 3/32" (0.094") holes. Want to use this as my false bottom for my MLT instead of a manifold. Any thoughts on this? I know I will have to support it above the bottom of the cooler, which I intend on doing with some stainless steel 'u'...
