Just racked my Ordinary bitter to the keg. I want to keep the volume of CO2 low, for this style right? What is everyone else doing? I was thinking 1 volume, but when I plug this in for my temp (40 F) I am already over the amount of needed PSI. I figure I will just put enough pressure to...

I got interested in brewing an Alt bier, but had never tried one. The only commerical one Bevmo has is Alaskan Brewing Co. Amber. Anyone know how close this is to a real Alt? It tastes pretty good to me. I will have to go check my other beer source and see if they have any other Alt bier...

What size and type of thread are on these cylinders? I was just toying with the idea of building a DIY regulator for one of these cyliders. I can get an O2 reg, but the connection is for an "E" size medical oxygen cylinder. If I can replace that connector, with one that mates to a bernzomatic...

Has anyone measured the exact voume that will fit into a corny keg? I was trying to make some gallon marks on my new kettle, and I thought that the keg would be a good thing to use for a 5 gallon marker. Seem to me that a 5 gallon corny holds less then gallons. So how much beer are we...

So I have been reading Palmer and am now nice and confused!!! I question is if you use pH5.2, I understand that your mash pH will be correct. What about all the other minerals that make up a your water and contribute to a beer style. For example, you have hard water and you brew up a Pilsner...

Where is the proper place for the bottom of the dip tube to be positioned. I have it centered at the bottom of the keg right now, but was thinking that with the bottom of the corny being concave, it might be better to have it up against th bottom wall, letting all the sediment fall to the...

I just drank a bottle of Weihenstephaner hefe weissbier. Both of my AG hefe beers did not have as great of a flavor. The first was kinda a total flop, because I missed my OG , so it was a bit watery. The second taste better, but it just did not taste or smell like the good German brands...

JUst put an order in to keg connection for one of their basic setups! SWMBO's b-day gift to me:rockin: I searched around and they seemed to be fair on the price , and everyone here seem happy with them. My LHBS was out of kegs and was not going to be any cheaper. Looking forward to...

Can some one tell me the amount of betadine to use for a no rinse sanitizer. I have 10% iodine concentration. This is not iodophor but betadine. I would make about a gallon at a time to sanitze my stuff. Thanks - Dirk

I have an "beer and wine " mercury type thermometer, that came with a brewing kit. I checked the calibration and it seems off. I put it in a glass of ice water, from my fridge water dispenser, and it read 34 F, I checked the temp of some boiled tap water and it read 208 F. Seems strange...

I have a rectangular cooler that I want to use for a mash tun. It does not have a spigot built into it. I was going to drill a hole in the side to put a valve and SS braid, but I got to thinking:drunk: ......has any one ever tried to use a siphon technique to sparge. You could attach a hose...

Is a refridgerator too cold of a place to cold condition a beer while it is clearing in the secondary?

I notices tonight that my bottles have some floaties in them. Look like salt speck that are stuck to the side of the bottle up by the neck , just underneith the fluid level. I also noticed some other stuff floating in the beer itself....looked a bit fuzzy, little specks...kind of hard to tell...
