    Off Flavor After Kegging

    So, I've been brewing for many years (8+) and it seems that I still can't figure out this off flavor that keeps rearing it's head. I brew recirculating eBIAB, plate chill and ferment in a SSBrewTech heated/cooled conical. I always hit my mash and fermenting temps as expected. I almost always hit...

    Brewing Water

    I've done a ton of research on this forum on brewing water and the various additions. I'm on well water that is very high in iron, chlorine and other things not great for brewing. Long story short, I now have a very nice RO filter that I use for brewing. Since I haven't figured out the "brewing...

    Cooling Trunk Lines - Need Opinions

    I have a tap tower on the first floor of my house with a keezer in the basement. A 20' trunk line runs from inside the keezer up to the tap. The height is about 13' from the bottom of the keezer to the taps. In a separate chest freezer I have a 5g bucket of water/glycol and a pump that runs in...

    Nitro tap - Pour Issues

I am now trying to figure out the same for the nitro tap. Below are the details: -Glycol cooled bev seal 1/4" lines that are 20.5' long...

    Stout Tap - Handle question

    I just installed a new stout tap and it works great. But when I put one of my normal handles on it, there is a section of the threaded screw that is visible. Is there a collar piece that I am missing? I tried to attach a picture to show what I am referring to. Thx!

    Balancing Issues

    Ok, this is getting a little frustrating. I have 3 kegs/taps that are served on the first floor of my house and the keezer is in the basement. (I have the insulated lines with coolant lines running cold water) I am getting a ton of foam. I did the formulas, which said to set at 17.5 psi (was...

    eBIAB Pulley/Exhaust Setup?

    I am planning an indoor (basement) brewery location for an eBIAB setup. I will be building a custom stand, which is next to a utility sink. I am still trying to figure out how I can mount a pulley system (probably to the joists) above the pot, but also have an exhaust fan above the pot. How...

    Fermentation Chamber Advice

    I just purchased a new chest freezer to be used as a fermentation chamber. I live in WI so my basement ranges from mid 50s to mid 70s depending on the time of year. I'd like to be able to brew ales and lagers. So my question is, do I buy an expensive dual stage temperature controller with a...

    Stuck Fermentation?

    So I did my first BIAB batch 2 weeks back. The brew day went well for a Belgian Wit, except my efficiency was lower than expected...about 60% on an expected 70%. I placed the fermentor in my basement and within 24 hours there was airlock activity as expected. Then we got subzero temperatures and...

    Cider Not Fermenting

    This is my 3rd time making this recipe and the first 2 turned out great. This one has been in the fermentor for 1 week and it still isn't showing any signs of fermentation. The first 2 batches were in my basement with mid 60s constant temperature and vigorous fermentation within 2 days of...

    Balancing My Keg Setup - Questions

    I have a chest freezer setup with 3 ball lock kegs and a 10lb CO2 tank (inside the freezer). It has 1 regulator, so all kegs get the same PSI. I've had the setup going for about 6 months now and everything has been fine until I noticed that the beer was coming out very foamy the past few weeks...

    Northern Brewer Fixed Gear - Didn't Finish?

    I brewed the NB Fixed Gear extract kit and followed the directions properly. I have been brewing for a few years, so I am sure I had the proper cleanliness and steps followed in order. I kegged it after 6 weeks to my 35 degree keezer. Its been in there for about a month and it just seems that...
