    Vinegar smell on faucet cap/brush

    No fruit flies evident anywhere. It's weird, seemingly.

    Vinegar smell on faucet cap/brush

    I recently kegged a Leffe Blonde clone, and while the beer tastes great I am getting a vinegar-ish smell on the tapper faucet cap/brush when I take it out to pour a glass. I have never come across this before, and tap lines are cleaned regularly. Wash the cap/brush and replace - and the smell...

    BrewJacket or Fermentation Chamber

    I have been using the Brewjacket Pro for a couple of years, and like it overall. It does take a long time to go from mid-upper-70s after chilling to mid-60s ferm temps - but once there it holds perfectly. I set up my most recent batch - a wee heavy - with the Brewjacket in my unheated garage. I...

    A 'cleaning the beer line' question

    I use this to clean my lines, and the connection on the pump works great because I can take the beer line off of the keg coupler and screw it directly to: https://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/cleaning-equipment/kegco_pck_pressurized_cleaning_kit.html Is there a piece I can connect that...

    Brix - sugar

    Someone asked me if I could measure sugars in a commercial bottle of kombucha with my hydrometer (I homebrew, but know zip/zero about kombucha or using the Brix reading). I measured 150ml of room temperature/non-carbonated liquid. Hydrometer Brix reading was 5 Not sure what to do with that...

    Issues with a Taprite regulator and/or suggestions on another brand

    I have Taprite T742HP regulator that's about 1 1/2 years old. It appears to work except the High pressure gauge (the side gauge) does not seem to be displaying any changes in C02 remaining - it's always in the green. I suspected it was off as it hadn't shown any change in a long time. I have...

    Brew Jacket

    I don't find the noise of the BrewJacket Pro to be bothersome. I have mine in my home office (aka unused bedroom) and after my third batch I didn't even notice the sound anymore - and I work in there everyday. Mine does tend to run almost constantly during the first few days of fermentation as...

    Brewjacket Updates

    I ordered mine on 10/27/18, and I think the unit arrived with 10 days or so. My first BrewJacket batch had big time issues getting down to my desired temp, and during fermentation held about 8 - 9 degrees above my target. I did contact their support, and they took a few days to get back to me...

    Brewjacket Immersion Pro

    Followup to my earlier post (#18) Brewed on Saturday 11/10/18 I have my BrewJacket set tp 67.5 and I am experiencing issues getting the temps under 72. May be a calibration issue - and I found their FAQ a bit lacking in clarification. Sent them an email and am awaiting response. I am hoping it...

    Brewjacket Immersion Pro

    Took less than 10 days to arrive - and they provided some email updates and the tracking number. I will post here after brew day......

    Brewjacket Immersion Pro

    Well, my BrewJacket just arrived yesterday. Here's hoping it works as planned - I will be brewing a Belgian Strong in a week or so.

    Brewjacket Immersion Pro

    I am curious on how well this works. I do 5 gal batches, and my small fermentation Vissani wine fridge just died.

    Looking for mod-free fermentation chamber

    I had a wonderful Vissani wine fridge that worked as a fermentation chamber for my 6 gal bucket, with no mods necessary. That fridge just died, and due to space limitations a freezer is just not an option. Are there ANY mini-fridges/wine fridges/beverage centers that will hold a plastic bucket...

    Tubing/siphon-to-keg question

    Thanks for the info!!

    Tubing/siphon-to-keg question

    Forgive my tubing size stupidity... I ferment in a 5 gal bucket, and I want to auto-siphon into a closed/purged keg via the liquid out post on a corny keg. This experiment is a result of continued oxidation issues with my kegged IPAs. My question on the tubing from the auto-siphon (unclear on...
