I recently upgraded my brewing setup to a Brewbuilt X3 conical w/Icemaster Max2. Got the everything from Brewhardware, as usual a positive experience. I'm on my 2nd batch fermenting in the X3 and have been putting together the parts to lager in a keg. I got the idea from a brew club member...

I've been fermenting under pressure for quite a while, with a Fermzilla and Kegland spunding valve. But this Brewbuilt spunding valve is next level. I'm planning to brew in the next few days and I could use a little walk through by someone that's been there done that. I understand how to...

So my X3 conical, IceMaster Max2 and lots of accessories arrived. I've been busy getting familiar with the pieces, cleaning/sanitizing/pressure/leak testing. Now I have questions related to work flow. I'm coming from a Fermzilla conical/w/jacket, TempTwister, 10 gal Igloo cooler with pump and...

Just beginning boil on a Smoked Porter, recipe I stashed from CB&B. Well received last time so doing it again

As the subject says I'm ordering a 7 gal BrewBuilt X3. I'm currently using a 27L Fermzilla and have it setup for pressure fermenting, and temperature control w/ TempTwister/10 Igloo cooler, FermTemp, and Inkbird. System works well but I'm ready to upgrade. For those that have gone to the X3, do...

Yesterday I transfered my Imperial Stout to two 5 gallon corny kegs, I have another batch fermenting, I plan to use for blending. Now that the barrel is empty I'm not sure what to do to maintain it. Currently it's lightly pressurized with co2, that's what I used to push the contents out. What...

I bought a 10 gallon whiskey barrel from a local distiller. I’m just about to fill, I only have a 15 gallon kettle so I brewed two batches of Russian Imperial Stout. One is done, I kegged it this morning, the other needs a day or so. I should get 10 gallons to fill the barrel all the way, if not...

I bought a Fermzilla 3.0 on sale, should have bought the Gen 3.2 and paid full price as now I'm spending enough to make up the difference. The Gen 3.0 has a 3" - 2" butterfly valve. Now I've decided to do away with the dreaded collection jar. But to do so I need to buy the 3" - 3" butterfly...

Updated my gas regulator board and added one more inline regulator w/ball valve for counter pressure bottle filler. All Kegland components and 8mm duotight tubing

For sale three tap tower complete with shanks, Doutight fittings, screws. This is what Morebeer calls it: KOMOS® Matte Black Stainless Draft Tower. It's like new, I made the mistake and ordered my kegerator with three taps. Why would I need anymore than three? Ha! Morebeer wants $109. make me a...

He has a few 3D printers

I thought it was cool (pun intended) to put my gas board inside my kegerator. But that had many problems like 1. Couldn’t fit four kegs 2. Had to get down on my knees with a flashlight to see the tiny Kegland gauges 3. Needed to open the door. So I bit the bullet and mounted it on the wall...

So I've had my Rapt Pill for a couple of weeks but wasn't until yesterday I was able to put it into action in my Fermzilla. Initially had a couple of head scratching moments but now it's working great and the data it reports is pretty accurate. It's supports both bluetooth and wifi, displays...

OK pretty new to kegging, I just close transferred my beer to a corny keg. It's in the kegerator now at 36 degrees. It was mostly pressure fermented and fermentation was done IMO, hydrometer readings static for a couple days. So my question is related to cold crashing. How long should I...

I have a new Komos/Kegland kegerator, my first so I'm learning. In the last month I've gone through two 5# Co2 bottles. After the first I went through all the connector making sure the EVAbarrier tubing was cut straight, then making sure to use keg lube on everything, bought a new bottle and...

OK up front I'm new to kegging but it didn't take me long to think "how much is in the keg"? I'm thinking weigh an empty keg, weigh the partial, do some math on weight of beer and determine how much is left in the keg. How do you do it? Thanks for any better way, John

I'm making the jump from extract to all grain and now I need a mill. I'm looking at several and thought I'd tap the brain trust for recommendations. MoreBeer has a few I'm interested in Malt Muncher 3 roller and Mighty Mill 3 roller, the later comes with a base board and has SS rollers, where...

Looking for ideas and suggestions for storing my beer after bottling. I've been made aware since the weather has gotten colder that yeast will go dormant resulting in flat beer. My man cave is a downstairs ground level room which keeps the beer at 64-65 degrees. Wondering what others in this...

I'm still bottling, although I recently acquired a couple of corny kegs and Co2 bottle. But I have no fridge or kegerator yet so I'm still bottling. I have a batch of Russian Imperial Stout in the fermenter which I fermented under pressure and I'm wondering if I should adjust corn...

First time fermenting under pressure. I've got it dialed to ~10#. An Imperial Stout in fermenter and fermenting actively. What pressure should I maintain. I'm not aiming to carbonate just ferment. Very much a noob at this phase of brewery. Thanks, John
