    Yeast starter issue

    Yeast starter question. I made a 4L starter with an OG of 1.036. I used a slurry of yeast that I had leftover from a previous starter. The yeast is 34/70. It was on a stir plate for 4 days. I didn't see any krausen but just let it go. I just checked the gravity out of curiosity and it is...

    Keezer freezing need help!

    Hey everyone. I need some help. I just completed a keezer build. I feel like I am an experienced builder as this is my 4th one. This one is the smallest one yet. Only fits 3 kegs barely. Brand new freezer. Ink Bird controller. Plugged freezer in pre-build and worked great. Post build...

    Muffin fan advice needed

    Building another keezer. This is my second one. I have 4 muffin fans that I want to use inside the keezer. Need thoughts and advice on placement and anything else I need to be aware of. Also, I was thinking if keeping the kegs off the bottom of the keezer floor. Is there any reason for...

    Keezer done?!

    Thats what I am thinking. Tough to face. Although I think I can use it as a fermentation chamber going forward.

    Keezer done?!

    Update. I cleaned and blew out around the compressor. Took all kegs out and cleaned the inside. Plugged it in yesterday around 10am. It was near 100 for most of the day yesterday. This morning the freezer is at 34 degrees. I have it plugged in to a normal outlet not temp controlled...

    Keezer done?!

    I built it 3-4 years ago. The freezer was bought used. It's worked great for years. Ideally I would like the beer at 38-40. I set it to 32 when I saw it not getting down below 40. Hoping that would help it get there. Now that I think about it, probably just over working it more.

    Anything You’d Do Different In Your Keezer?

    I would go as big as you can afford. Use the extra space for storage of kegs, bottles, grains, hops, etc. Thats what Im going to do when mine dies.

    Keezer done?!

    I just built it with no future thoughts in mind. Slapped a collar on it, painted it white and added 8 taps. I have ideas if I were to do it again, but hoping I don't have to.

    Keezer done?!

    My keezer is set at 32. It won't get below 40. Currently sitting 45. Yes it is in a hot shop, but is it on its last breath? Advice? Thoughts? Condolences? Cheers.

    Keg Carbination confusion!

    It goes through a manifold. 8 kegs. I don't have a PRV on the keg. I just press the gas post to release pressure. I did check and it is CO2.

    It's filled up just below the gas dip tube.

    Keg Carbination confusion!

    Great. Thank you. Do you release the pressure after rocking it right away, or wait a little while?

    Keg Carbination confusion!

    I thought the same thing! Ya its all turned on. Definitely full of pressure when I release it.

    Keg Carbination confusion!

    Carbination trouble! Ok. This one has got me super confused. I have been kegging now for a solid 7-8 years. My go to method is 30psi for 36 hours. It has worked flawlessly. Well this last batch things are not same. My good brewing friend Chris made an amazing Mexican Lager and we split...

    Spike Solo negatives....

    SPIKE SOLO. Tell me why it is not worth getting. I have watched the videos and read reviews and I love Spike, but I want to hear from those who switched to the all in one solo and hate it. Convince me not to buy it. Real honest opinions. Much appreciated.
