Not a new brewer but figured I could get my answer here quickest. I use a homemade hop spider that uses a 3" to 2" cpvc reducer. It fell into my boil last night. It could have been in there for up to 20 minutes based on when I checked the kettle. Should I dismiss the beer in fear of chemical...

I originally bought this when I had plans to have towers on my Keezer, I went w/ a front mount instead, and this is too large and heavy for me to use. You can see the price I bought it for in the link below. I will send it out for $20 shipped or would be interested in a swap of a wall mount...

This summer I started kegging and converted to whole grain. My original mlt was a converted water cooler, but only 5 gallons. I upgraded quickly to a chest cooler b/c there just wasn't enough room to brew some recipes in 5 gallons. I also have used a counterflow wort chiller, but I bought it...

For the past couple years I have made some hard apple cider and used my bottling bucket as a "serving container" to make snake bites with it. It sits in a closet in the basement not seen, but easily accessible. I had previously bottled it, but ran into a few exploding bottles and decided I'd...

I experimented w/ my first "home made" recipe with a Red Wheat in a gallon batch, and it came out great. Now to do a 5.5 gallon batch I was just going to increase everything by 5 on the grain bill, but that puts me at 15 lbs. of grain. Am I thinking right about just multiplying, or is...

I am new to kegging, first keg of AHS 20th Anniversary Kolsch was finally ready this past weekend after a week+ of room temp carbing. My thermostat on the keezer is not here yet so since I have moved the gas and keg to the freezer I have been unplugging when I don't want a drink and plugging...

I bought a pin lock 2 keg kit w/ a #5 tank from keg connection. On sunday i kegged my first brew - AHS 20th anniversary Kolsch - and used the shake method to carbonate b/c I don't have a temp control on my going to be keezer yet to regulate a constant temperature to do a 24 or 48 hour carb...
