    Kegerator Recommendation

    Hey everyone. I am looking into getting into kegging, and I rather buy a kegerator than modify a fridge or freezer myself. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good kegerator for homebrewing? I am looking to have 2-3 taps. Thanks!

    Long boil and its effect on the beer's color...

    So, I am working on a barleywine recipe and read to be very conservative if adding any dark grain as the long boil (120 mins) will add a lot of its color. In order to somewhat predict the final beer's color, is there a standard way to estimate how many SRMs will be added by the boil...

    Is a dip tube required for whirlpooling?

    Hey everyone, I just realized the side pickup diptube I bought is smaller than what I need for my setup and will thus restrict the flow of wort into my pump. I plan on pumping my wort through a counterflow chiller and back into the pot trough a whirlpool arm. The chiller, whirlpool arm...

    High Bicarbonate Water and pH

    Hey all, got some questions/thoughts. So, I got some left over grains that I plan on putting together to brew up a strong dark Belgian ale. When looking at possible water profiles, I thought Rochefort's would be good. So I plugged in my water, recipe, and salt additions into bru'n water...

    Belgian Wit: ph and RA...

    First, after almost three years of brewing, I am starting to get into water chemistry and its affects on my brew. In a month or so I plan to brew up a Belgian wit. I like my wits to be crisp, dry, and tart. I have not achieved the tartness levels yet in my previous wits and believe playing...

    WLP630 Berliner Weisse Blend Question

    Hey, everyone. Quick question: When use WLP630 Berliner Weisse Blend, do you aerate the wort at all? I understand that oxygen is bad for the lacto, but oxygen is good for the yeast. So I am confused. Has anyone had experience with this yeast/lacto blend?

    White stuff in secondary....

    I brewed up a little one gallon batch a few weeks ago with some leftover ingredients. I plan to bottle tomorrow and took a look at the secondary when I noticed this white crap around the top of the beer at the edge of the jug. I lightly rotated the jug to get off the beer. Does anybody know...

    Terrapin Pumpkinfest Clone Request

    Does anybody have a Terrapin Pumpkinfest clone recipe or something similar? I looking at updating my pumpkin ale this year, and would like a recipe in which the spice is present (like Terrapin's) but not overwhelming (like Pumpking). Any recipes would be appreciated.

    Dropped My Carboy Today (with beer inside)

    So I am brewing up a tripel (OG 1.097) and after 16 days fermenting it was at 1.020. I decided to rack it to secondary and bump up the temp to help it finish up around 1.017. As I started to move it from my chest freezer, somehow the brew hauler gave way and then BOOM. Luckily it fell on...
