That cap should have small holes on the very top, it's so gas comes out but bigger things don't fall in. Does yours has some? If not I would take a safety pin and make a half dozen holes. - ISM NRP

All great things to learn from a first brew. You seem to have a positive attitude and that will only make it better. Cheers to you and congrats I'm sure it'll turn out great! - ISM NRP

What was the temp of the wort and was it free from hop debris? Both of those can cause your gravity to rise. - ISM NRP

It's not so much about putting in added water. Boil off rate is not a fixed value. It has to do with MANY variables: pot hight and width, actual power of your burner, humidity, temp, axial positioning of the moon.... A lot of stuff. It's as easy as when you're done and you're off by whatever...

Good idea. I'll give that a try with my compressor and see. If it does work I'll open it up. But I'll also take a wire brush and try to clean it better - ISM NRP

The thing is the intake is 100% open during all three pictures :/ - ISM NRP

It's a 10 psi regulator I believe. Just a simple dial for on and off - ISM NRP

Hey everyone. I have a 55k btu propane burner and it doesn't seem to be burning quite right. I already took it apart and cleaned it with BKF but it still seems off. Here are pictures of it on low flame, medium and high flame. In all three the air intake is wide open. Does it look like it's...

Will do. Thanks everyone - ISM NRP

So I've got pretty equal thoughts for infection and not infection.. Anyone else wanna chime in? - ISM NRP

Kindof, it was moved out of a fridge but not recently. Even after I opened the lid for those pictures and few minutes later it was bubbling like every 5-10 mins or so. - ISM NRP

It's a SS brew bucket. Here a couple other pictures. Still think it's an infection? - ISM NRP

Hey everyone, I have brewed for about 2 years and luckily still no infections. I brewed up a caribou slobber kit with someone who wants to learn how to brew probably a month ago and I once in a while still hear bubbles from the airlock. I opened up the lid and this is what it looks like on top...

Good to know thanks - ISM NRP

Hey everyone, so here's my situation: I had a mini fridge to keep my bottles beers in and it has since lost most of it's chilling effect. It is tough to find a good sized mini fridge for bottles but I also don't want to get a regular fridge because it's just too big. I'm considering getting a...

I highly discourage having un-diluted StarSan touch anything other than it's own contained or water. That stuff is quite acidic. I'm not sure about those stains, try barkeeper a friend. And just don't do that again - ISM NRP

Thanks for sharing your story, but definitely RDWHAHB. All the things you listed happen to everyone eventually. Boil overs happen, some people (including myself) use fermcap S to reduce the chances of it but 1) boil overs aren't too hard to avoid, 2) fermcap S is a silicone based liquid that...

Anyone? - ISM NRP

Hey everyone. So years ago I had a "coffee milk stout" by Newport Storm and I'm from New England and it tasted EXACTLY like coffee milk (made from autocrat coffee syrup) in a stout. I want to replicate this coffee syrup flavor in a stout. I'm going to pretty much make a very simple stout kit...

I have a SS inline chugger from brewhardware. Really like it with the camlock DCs - ISM NRP
