Beer is in the keg inside keezer and has been on gas for 2 weeks. I just found some cascade in the refrigerator that I forgot to add for dry hopping this recipe. Is it too late for the full flavor of the hops to come out due to the low temp, or the beer being carbonated?

Does this mean wine conditioner or lactose is added into the keg? At kegging time after fermentation?

I used the oxynater for the first time today. I hooked it up to a small disposable oxygen tank. The instructions say, boil stone for 20 min before & after using, place in wort for 15 seconds then let the foam settle and repeat. Well aside from oxygen coming out of the stone there was no foaming...

I mixed up a 1/2 oz of starsan in 2-1/2 gallons of distilled water. This will be stored long term In plastic spray bottles for sanitizing small parts. Will storing this in plastic have any effect on the solution or would glass be a better choice? :mug:

I brewed some oatmeal stout yesterday. This was a full 10 gallon boil that was pumped through a plate chiller and cooled down to 80* very fast. The first reading was suppose to be 1.050. well it came out at 1.072:D ( I adjusted the temp for a 60* reading) I added 1# of malto dextrin this was...

Can you just pour the starter right out of the flask or do you need to sanitize the inside of the flask above where the liquid sits? Seems like a lot of build up from the boil gets caked on the sides.

I ran some (properly mixed) pbw through a plate chiller and I let it sit inside for about two days. When the cleaner came out of the chiller it was blue. Also, the chiller was recently put in the oven for a good cleaning, but it was rinsed thoroughly after it cooled. any ideas? :mug:

I just picked up a few of the foam stoppers for yeast starters today. I also picked up 2 stir plates :D I like how you can keep them in the flask for the boil & cooling part, Before adding yeast. Seems like they would work better than an airlock or foil when using a stir plate. Anyone using...

I back flushed with hot water & oxyclean about 25 times & the flow of water is coming out strong, but I still have grain particles coming out of plate chiller. Any suggestions on any other cleaners or methods? :mug:

Getting ready to do my first 12 gallon full boil on sat.:rockin: Been doing 3 gall boils on stove for awhile now. I have the keggle & all the fittings are in place. After the ball valve on bottom of kettle I have a 6" brass nipple to attach the march pump & then plate chiller to fermenter...

what are some of your methods? directions say do not store away wet, sounds tough to get all the water out with all those small channels.:mug:

anyone have a good source for purchasing wood sticks/chips for brewing? i'm looking for some palo santo wood for a very interesting recipe. :mug:

aside from the $$$ spent on a heavy brewpot, and the time put into a "damaged keg" conversion, is one better/easier, more efficient than the other to brew with?

I'am going camping and keg is going to be in car for about 4 hours . Should I leave gas on or off for the drive? and should I be purging? Also, the keg has been cold and on gas for about 2 months, So should I try and keep it cold for the 4 hour drive? I'am going to bring co2 tank and a cobra...
