Hoping some experienced keggers can help me out here. I've been given an old regulator. It holds pressure, no leaks, however the low pressure gauge is 100PSI full scale so the resolution is a little tricky when dialing in low pressures. I bought a Micromatic Model 624, 0-60PSI, 1/4 NPT right...

Hello All, Have a fundraiser to volunteer at on Thursday and we have only received beer donations in the form of a couple of sixtels. Here's my predicament..... We only have a 20lb CO2 tank and regulator, and a couple Sankey couplers. No jockey box, no kegerator. Will I be able to put...

What's up! Going to Portland OR for the first time this October. Wading through the 50+ breweries that city has is a little overwhelming.... So Portlanders, where does a east coast beer geek need to go? I'll be there for 3 straight days...

Experienced some interesting yeast behavior. Bought some ingredients back in December, then life and holidays got in the way and it sat until the beginning of this month. Mr. Malty claimed that I would need 2 packs of the yeast I had, mfg. date 12/3/2013, no matter how large of a starter...

Can someone check the back of their STC-1000 and confirm the position of the sensor input connector with respect to the PCB? I suspect my unit was populated wrong.... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Home Brew mobile app

Not murderous Mexican drug cartels, not exploding meth labs, not even face eating bath salt zombies. I'm talking about...... Hipster soccer fans. Now I can't even go out to eat without listening to a group of scraggly bearded, Goodwill baby tee and "Manpri" wearing, faux-Euro pseudo-males...

Anybody involved with this comp have any idea when the results are being posted? Hope they don't wait till the Fair to announce winners, if I qualified for the NYSHOTY with a win in this one, I need to know if I have to get an entry ready.

Hello, I'm a fairly experienced beer brewer, but a novice cider maker, aside from EW's Apfelwein. For the first time this year, I decided to make a cider with some locally pressed juice. The juice was UV pasteurized and filtered at the mill, crystal clear and delicious. I added two pounds of...

So my GF gave some of my beers to her assistant to try, he's a burgeoning beer geek. What's interesting is that my Saison gave him an allergic reaction. He said his lips and face blew up as well as hives. He said it happened right away so the chance of coincidence is pretty low. He's pretty...

After a PITA transfer due to a floating hose stopping my siphon, I began to think about a more secure way to transfer to my bottling bucket from my carboy. Just leaving the hose to dangle into the bucket has been giving me trouble, especially when it's cold and the vinyl gets stiff. I tried the...

Bottling a lager that I've been babying, cold crashed for 5 days, extremely careful about moving it, wanted just the faintest wisp of yeast in the bottles for carbonation. At the very end of a beautifully clear transfer, I look down at my bottling bucket for a split second and *thunk*, my...

1,000 b!tches!!!!!! :mug:

Anyone here who entered and got score sheets? It's been almost two months, nada for me. I know they don't mail out medals until after the fair in August, but last year I got my sheets back in a week.

I've got some Goldings from Freshops that has a bunch of seeds in it. Are these viable, or are they destroyed from the drying process?

I've only used these on a few of my bottles. Don't have a great printer at home. The Irish Red is name after and making fun of my brother who told his girlfriend(now wife) that he was 100% Irish. The Dubbel is for my toy fox terrier who watched my kettle steam in the garage from my back...

Anyone else experience this? I noticed it while brewing a couple weeks ago and just sprayed some on my glove, it's instant rotten egg smell. Weird...there's no sulfur in the nitrile chemical composistion, must be something they coat them with.

Is frustrating. It's the only part of my process that I don't have nailed down. I've tried a couple of methods, a scrubby over the Auto-siphon after a whirlpool and settle period has worked the best, yet I still get mixed results depending on my hop amount/type. I bought and installed a weldless...

OK, I just did the Jim Koch thing with some hops as I tossed them in my boil kettle. My hands smelled great. Now how do I get them un-green and able to handle paper without it sticking to them? Holy coated in hop resin! :ban:

Brewing a Tripel today, got my starter going before I went to bed last night. This morning I find a 4" krausen on my 1.5L starter with a stirplate going. Somehow this yeast still managed to defy gravity while spinning around a gallon jug at around 120 rpms. Think I'll need a blow off tube? ;)...

What I love about this recipe is that you can substitute whatever pair of C-hops you want and it always comes out amazing, but with slightly different hop character. I've made it with Cascade & Centennial, Columbus & Centennial, and the latest with Citra & Centennial. The Citra has a great...
