I've read that 65 deg is a good starting point as far as fermentation temp for most ales. I've got a freezer with a Brewers Edge temp controller that I plan on using to maintain the temps as my ambient temp here in Florida is way too hot. My question is, do I need to control the temperature of...

I have a mostly fermented batch of brewers best cider that I will be bottling in a few days. When I started homebrewing I went straight to kegging because it seemed a lot quicker and easier than bottling, but then I realized I could only ever have two batches on hand since I only have room for...

Hopefully this isn't too off topic, but I can't figure out where else I could go for help with this particular question. My employer was getting rid of a True cooler that was being used in the break room for $100 and I jumped on it. I noticed that it has a light fixture just inside the door...

I got into homebrew when I got a kit for Christmas and have a few extract batches under my belt. Unfortunately I only have one other beer drinker in the family so I don't have too many people to share my hobby with and was thinking about taking up winemaking. Although I don't really enjoy...

I did a batch of Brewer's Best Milk Stout and am disappointed with the results. I followed the instructions and didn't have any problems until I tasted the finished product. Fermentation signs were low (not much bubbling) but I did verify fermentation with a hydrometer. The gravities were...

I already have a propane burner that I got from my dad. It was in his garage and neither of us know exactly where it came from or how old it is. It boils 2.5 gallons in about 21 minutes, so from reading other threads where folks say they can boil 5-7 gals in 15 mins, it seems like it is a bit...

I am trying to retrofit my kegerator to store the gas cylinders outside instead of inside so I can free up enough room to get another corny keg in it. Currently I have the CO2 tank and 2 corny kegs in it, and I want to add a 3rd keg on beergas but don't have enough room. I would've actually...
