    Tubing Size Confusion

    Hey everyone, I am piecing together my first keg setup, and got some of my parts in today. It looks like I got the wrong size gas tubing. I got the 5/16 ID, and it first the regulator perfectly but of course it is nowhere near the right size to fit the ball lock connector barb. Should I get...

    Would this recipe work?

    I have an 8lb pack of liquid Pilsner syrup that I would like to use up to make something heavy on citra hops but still somewhat simple. I came across skeezerpleezer's recipe for a zombie dust clone, and am curious if I could just substitute the Extra Light dry extract for my 8lb package of...

    Ball Lock Disconnects. This look right?

    Hey everyone, Some of my keg parts came in today, and I have a quick question. Should there be a washer or something inside of the disconnects? I took a look in both and they have no washers or anything. Picture below.

    Trouble finding simple recipe.

    Hello everyone, I am looking for a recipe that will emphasize the honey, and be a bit on the sweet side. Since this will be my first batch of this, I would like to keep it simple and stick to just honey, water, and yeast. While I haven't had many mead's, I do enjoy Carroll's and am shooting...

    Hey guys, Hopefully I am posting in the right section. I picked up a Hefeweizen extract kit from Northern Brewer, and have been drinking them over the last few days and have a few questions. I am probably wrong here, but isn't a hefeweizen supposed to be cloudy, no matter how long it has been...

    Can I secondary early?

    Hello everyone, I picked up two extract kits from Northern Brewer last week, and got my hefeweizen started on Friday evening; temps have been at 67 the entire time. The fermentation was explosive the first 3-4 days, and now there is a bubble from the airlock every 15 seconds steady even after...

    First batch. How am I doing?

    Hey everyone, I bought an extract kit (Honey Brown) from Northern Brewer with the Safale S-05 yeast, and brewed it up this past Friday afternoon. On the instructions it said to put the carboy in a dark warm place and to let it go, but this didn't seem right to me based on all the reading I...

    How soon should there be a yeast cake? Only been 2 hours.

    Hey everyone, Made my first batch of beer today, a Honey Brown extract kit from northern brewer. About two hours after pitching the yeast, there is already a layer of sediment or yeast on the bottom. Is this normal? Not really any airlock activity yet.

    Help needed. Apple Cider.

    Hey everyone, I have a 6 gallon batch of apple juice cider going with Safale S-04, and have a few questions. The SG was about 1.054, and I just checked it after 7 days, and it is at 1.018. It is still going vigorously; I just wanted to see where I was. At this point, it tastes good, with the...
