Hey all, Kinda disappointed... installed my nitrogen setup with the new intertap stout spout. Here's the run down -Beer gas is 75/25 nitro/co2 mix at 25 psi (I tried several pressures between 20 and 30 psi) -dry Irish stout (finished at 1.020 unfortunately) previously carbonated to 2.0...

I just read an article of someone local who died from exposure to fumes from liquid nitrogen. It got me thinking about our setups at home with ten pound co2 or nitrogen tanks. If a major leak were to occur, like a busted hose, would the amount of gas from either co2 or nitrogen be enough to...

Anyone Biab brewers out there preheat their strike water the night before? It takes me a little over 45 minutes to set up my kettle, measure water and get to strike temp, but every bit counts when you're trying to brew during the week. I figure if I get home and it's a little low I can just...

Hey all. I'm trying to do a zombie dust clone using the NB recipe, but I want to use Maris otter as my base grain. The original recipe calls for 5 gal OG 1.060 10.5 lbs 2-row 1.5 lbs Munich .5 lb carapils .5 med crystal .5 oz Citra FWH 1 oz Citra 20 min 1 oz Citra 10 min 1 oz...

Hey everyone 3 weeks ago I brewed a speedway stout clone. OG was around 1.107 and FG was 1.020. Hydro sample tasted rather good, definitely some alcohol "heat". I split the batch into two corny kegs to secondary/bulk age. I have oak chips soaking in bourbon (four roses single barrel mmmmm)...

Whats up HBT! Got a question for you guys. I brewed a dry Irish stout 3 weeks ago. OG 1.046 FG 1.020. Yeah, I thought it would finish lower as well. Well it's all carbed up right now and I'm drinking a glass. Pretty sweet tasting and pretty low alcohol.... Not my proudest brewing...

What's up everyone? Got a question for you yeast heads. I brewed an all grain dry Irish stout 2 weeks ago with WLP004, OG of 1.046. Expected it to drop into the mid to low teens but it's only at 1.020. Kept fermentation temp at 66 degrees... Maybe a little cool? It was a pretty boring...

So my girlfriend and I started home brewing about 6 months ago. We have about 8 batches under our belt. I wanted to share with you how I've made my way back to brew in a bag. We in fact started with BIAB. Our first batch was actually a kit from NB, Jakes CDA (I'm so fortunate that my first...

So I just got done brewing my third batch yet. It's a northern brewer caribou slobber BIAB kit. It came with a dry yeast, Danstar Windsor. I rehydrated in 4 ounces of water and nuked for 15 seconds as per instructions. Then I immediately remembered that I had NOT STERILIZED my pirex...

Hey everyone! I have a question for those of you who inject pure oxygen into your wort. I Just started doing this on my last batch with a 1.4 oz bottle from Home Depot. I went to go use it this morning to aerate and found out it was EMPTY after only one use. Figured it didn't seal right or...

Whats up HBT! Long time reader first time writer. First I wanted to thank everybody's input on these forums. It's been great just typing all my questions into Google and finding the answers on HBT. You guys are awesome! I had a question regarding my yeast starter. I'm going to brew an ESB...
