I brewed this 12 days ago. Fermented s-05 ar 68 degress 12 days now. fermentation looks all done. Going to transfer to secondary dry hop for 5 days then cold crash for 24 hrs. Rack to keg and force carb. See any problems here?

I have had a similar issue. I had an all grain batch that I kegged the majority of the batch. I also bottled 12 with carb tabs. 6 went in the fridge after 2-3 weeks they were carve up nicely. 6 stayed in pantry for 4-6 weeks around 78-83 degrees. These bottles were explosive. Had to open all...

Interesting. Maybe we should put our heads together a d figure it out

A fellow home brewer friend of mine just received this? Cask? Keg? How should we use it?

Well I'll post how it turns out. I'll add more tonight. Should I warm up the bottles to room temp? Then leave to condition at room temp since they have been in fridge for a couple of weeks?

Ok I'm dumb. Guess I should read the package! Ha! And can I now drop in more and re cap em? I'll bring them out of the fridge and let warm back up them drop in 3-4 more tabs. Maybe give it a little shake?

iPhone typing sucks. Sorry for typos

Ok here's the deal. I kegged 5 gallons if my beer. That's all good. I also bottled a 12 pack if the same beer I kegged. I capped the bottles set them a side to condition. A few days later I was reading through all my notes and realized I didn't drop any if the carb tabs in the bottles. Oops...

If anyone cares. Brewed with the new keggles! No issues and a lot of fun! (1st all grain batch)

As far as weld vs weldless I went with weld because I too have a friend that has a shop. I also thought the chances of developing a leak were far less with the bulkhead welded in as opposed to bolted in. Also it was a lot less expensive to pc. together the fittings myself rather than buying a...

Just to update. Keggles are ready. Bulkhead welded in (no leaks)! BK got a dip tube I made out of some 3/8 soft copper. Seems all good. Saturday I brew.....

I am currently building a BK and a HLT. So far I have cut the tops of of the kegs and ready to add the fittings. I have the capability of welding or not for the bulk heads. Only planning adding a valve to each right now and thermometer and sight glass down the road. My question is is there a...

Ok good info. Will be making a Sierra Nevada clone Has around 11-12 lbs of grain. If you use 9 lbs and call that a smaller beer. Where does this fall on the big-small beer scale?

Thanks for quick response. What about a 5-10 gal round cooler. Better idea. For 5 gallon batches. I do plan on doing larger batches in near future. Just want to get my feet wet in all grain before going a little bigger

I will be doing my first all grain batch soon. Trying to get all equipment lined up. Mash tun... I have a 120 qt igloo cooler in my barn is like to use since I already own it. Is it too large for a 5 gallon batch? Will I have significant heat loss due to the empty space above the grain bed...

Sierra Nevada Celebration! But Sunday night I enjoyed a few 512 IPA's. in Austin!

NB Caribou Slobber out of keg ( first time kegging) while racking to secondary and dry hopping. Not a bad night!

Ok good help.... New related question. Dry hopping obviously is beneficial. (People do it all the time) However have any of you ever dry hopped part of a brew and not dry hopped another portion of the same brew and tasted the difference? If so, what if any, was the difference?

Quick question: going to dry hop for the 1st time this week. The recipe called for whole hops. Just realized LHBS gave me pellets? #1 does this matter? #2 can I just drop them in with no bag

Thanks for the reminder. Only problem is I am vain and looks kinda redneck coming out of plastic bottles as compared to glass. But I think I'll go redneck. After all I'm originally from Arkansas! BA da ding ding ding (banjo music)
