I have 12lb of milled grain. It has been sitting in the freezer for 3 weeks. I am moving my apartment and this grain will have to go in a storage unit and sit there for a month. What will happen to it, the storage unit is not air conditioned. Should i throw it out or try it after a month?

I am making a modified Kölsch clone. I use 3.3 lb pilsner malt 3.3 lb pale ale malt. 2oz of Hallertau. It is going to come out much darker than typical Kölsch. :D The recipe right now cost me about $35. I know I can reuse yeast etc. I have a different question. I have 2 ideas for...

Suppose I have a batch where the yeast has already settled and it is sitting in a conical that has a yeast collection thing at the bottom. Can I take the yeast collection thing and just dump it into a new batch, without doing it like it says in the you tube videos, sterilize jars etc. Sure the...

My co2 set up is leaking at a rate of about .1 bar an hour. Can I still keg my beer. Say I keg it force carbonate it and than just shut off the co2 valve on the canister. That way I won't loose all of my co2. It probably take me a week to drink this keg, than I'll go see what I can do...

I just bought the keg co2 regulator and all. I tightened all the connections by hand, also I don't have any thread locker. The connections on the regulator leak so bad I can feel it just by putting my finger there. Thought maybe I'd keg the beer today but it seems like I am missing...

fermenting 6 days. Small specs floating on the top, yet the yeast had sank to the bottom a while back. is this some kind of stubborn yeast? The second question I have is why do you have to do secondary in a different bucket, or secondary at all. It's in a conical now and there is that...

I need about 5 kegs a month of beer. I currently only have 2 fermenting buckets. :drunk:I am really having a hard time with this aging conditioning beer thing. So lets say next time I go to the store, I buy 3 buckets. I brew 5 batches in one week and fill 5 ferment buckets. So I am...

:pipe: Beer has been in fermenting in my conical for 4 days, yeast sank to the bottom. Hydrometer reading says finished 5% alcohol. I took a sample, the aftertaste is great, even just the taste is great. It really smells like yeast though. I have a conical should i remove the yeast, would...
