I bought one of these for multi-use, part time fermentation chamber mainly. I also want to use it as a cooler for the dispensing of cask ale, and need to drill a hole through which I will pass 1/2 inch siphon tubing. I can't seem to find anything on here or elsewhere regarding where I might...

I'm looking to brew the Brewing Classic Styles Irish Red recipe. It calls for Roasted Barley at 300L. If I can only get 500L, should I just add less to maintain the same color target? I worry that the color and the roasted character will not track together and I will lose the flavor...

I was hoping to craft a British-style wheat ale, and was looking for some feedback. The grist is simple - 50/50 Maris otter/wheat to an OG of 1.046. Hops with a US twist with Willamette (or EKG, or Fuggles...) at 60 mins, and citra at flame-out to a total of 30 BUs, fermentation with Wyeast...

Greetings. I apologize if this is common knowledge and I'm just an idiot. I BIAB with a keggle set up. The biggest problem I always had was temp control during the mash. Summer or winter - it didn't matter - temp would drop at least 2-4 degrees in the first 30 mins and I'd have to refire. To...

High Carb Kegging question: I have a Dubbel kegged - on gas at 20psi (35F) for over a week (aiming for 3.5 volumes). Anticipating foam, I set up a 30ft line to a picnic tap. I get nothing but foam out - and the beer is flat. What is interesting is the foam is slow, but there is beer visible...

http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/review/product/list/id/2200/category/292/ I'm a homebrewer and have made my first batch of wine (WinExpert Pinot Grigio, World Vineyard) and its now time to bottle. My wife mainly drinks boxes (e.g. Bota) and we like idea of having the wine in such a...

I was wondering if anyone has inside information about this http://www.williamsbrewing.com/OXYGEN-REGULATOR-FOR-WELDING-TANK-P3476C106.aspx If I understand this correctly, it is only for use with larger oxygen tanks and not the small benzomatic-type tanks? I'd love better flow control but...

I have been using the oxygenation kit from William's Brewing, and I love it. Great fermentations with better attenuation than my splashing before. In the spirit of reproducibility, however, I feel a bit troubled. The regulator for the Williams kit has no markings - essentially I can turn on...

Greetings - I use a converted sanke keg for my mash-tun. I BIAB so this is the only vessel I use for everything. I direct fire this keggle - and with my current configuration that involves one "permanent" wrap pf reflectix and 2 wraps put on after mash in - I lose several degrees over the course...

OK - we know when we bottle condition homebrew, or if we are pouring certain European beers that one must be careful to avoid yeast and other material. There have a been a number of occasions though where the bottle has no indication on the label that it is bottle conditoned - and I get a glass...

This topic has been discussed, but it always rapidly decays into a comparison of MO against American 2-row (pale malt). I'm looking for a comparison of the Pale ALE malts. While the general discussion is interesting, I will also specifically am looking for Rahr pale ale malt vs. Marris...

I apologize if this has been covered - but looking through a few threads didn't tell me the answer. I'm giving BFC a try this weekend on a bitter. My kegged beers always clear eventually, but only when I get to the last 1/4 of a keg. I know the best may be to "lager" all my beers in the keg...

I just read on a companies website that one should disassemble the ball valve after each brew - and boil it to sanitize. I have a keggle with a 2-piece SS ball valve and have never removed it. I do sanitize barbed fitting (once and a while) but never the valve itself. I have not had an infection...

Greetings. I made a pale ale recently - sort of an inventory clean out ale. It is 2.5 weeks out now, and I legged it yesterday. While clearly not yet mature, the beer has a darkness - for lack I better words - that I haven't appreciated yet in my beers. The hops included magnum at 69, nugget...

Did my first SMaSH yesterday. 6G at the end of the boil O.G. 1.051 (actual 1.054 due to excessive boil off) 12# Rahr Pale Ale malt - mash target 152, actual 156-->146 over 60min Amarrillo (IBU 32 - Rager) 14g 60 mins 14g 30 mins 14g 5 mins 14g 0 mins Ferment at 65F with WLP...

Brewed a lager (Sam Adams Boston Lager clone) and it has been at 34f under gas (10psi) for 4 weeks. Despite me pouring off 3-4 pints, the beer isn't clear and oddly is not carbonated well. When I pour there is some floating material and the bubbles are very large. This leads me to wonder if I...

Greetings. This may be a stupid question - but I'm having an issue with my dual-body regulator. The regulator body closest to the CO2 tank can be set at any pressure I chose without an issue, but the regulator farthest from the tank seems to not get beyond 10psi, even with it cranked open...
