So my friend had a friend that was a welder that would weld my keggles and cut the tops for a case of beer. (hell of a deal since i didn't know any welders) He said he could weld stainless no prob. Well long story short the welder friend passed the kegs to another welder friend and somewhere...

So i brewed up a chocolate stout last night and my propane on my burner ran out with 15 min left in the boil. Boil time was supposed to be 60 min. I still had aroma hops, whirlfloc, and yeast nutrient to add. Granted the hops left were to be added at flame out. So now i had to make a choice...

I'm under the impression that's its important to know your water chemistry because it will affect the overall flavor and outcome of your beer. I don't know anything about what I'm looking for in the water report. Can somebody take a look at this and tell me if i need to be concerned. All i...

Will a Barrel Sided Sanke make a difference for a keggle or mash tun? All the ones i see are regular Sanke kegs. Any advantages or disadvantages to using one. Keg #1 http://www.chicompany.net/commercial-winery-kegs-38/

I just got into kegging and the SWMBO bought me a kit from kegconnection which included a 5 lb tank. I found a bigger tank on craigslist guessing 20 lb for $35. 1.) Is there a way to fill the smaller tank from the bigger or is that better left to the professionals. 2.) Can i sand and...

So i cold crashed an cream ale and added gelatin but forgot to take a hydrometer reading. what would the adjustment be for taking a reading at 32F? or should i just warm it back up? Also can i leave it in a secondary because i can't get around to bottling it till end of December? It was in...

I have a williams double stout that has been in fermentation for 3 1/2 weeks now. the OG was 1.060 and its been stuck at 1.030 for the last 4 days. I gave it a little stir and everything. Fermentation was great, it even blew the airlock off the BB. I used a 800 ML starter for it. but seems...

Is it ok to use bottles that have been sitting around for a while with mold and who knows what else growing in them if i wash them, soak in oxy clean, then sanitize with star san ? I've heard of infections hanging around in buckets and carboys but didn't know if it was the same for bottles ...

I just got back from Seattle and got a chance to visit Pike Brewery. The beer there is amazing, and the setup is pretty cool. Their brewery runs through the middle of a mall. I was hoping to have some beer from there shipped back home but unfortunately they don't ship to KS:( . I was a...

Opened the fridge the next day to check on beer. :eek: Never had a problem before so never really gave it much thought. Lesson learned the hard way. All Fermentors get blow off tubes now. It was a double stout. After clean up and modifications

I know patience is a virtue in beer brewing but its been 13 days and my FG is 1.026. The kit says i need 1.019. Seems kinda high for almost 2 weeks fermenting. I was unable to obtain a OG because i broke my hydrometer in sanitizing bucket. :drunk: The temp control on the fridge is set at 68...
