I have one and am not sure if I need a 26mm or 29mm bottle. From what part do I measure the bottle top?

Anyone ever come across this alternative to Reflectix? It's called Everbilt, and it appears to be half the price. Would it have the same effect for insulating a kettle on an induction burner or for mashing...

I have an 1800W induction burner that I've used for about a year now, but I typically don't go above 1500W. On a traditional 15 amp circuit, which is 1800W, how much can I safely use? I understand there's an 80% recommendation for long-term (3 or more hours, which I won't need anyway), but I...

Just brewed an all-grain pale ale. It was a test batch that I'm fermenting in my Mr. Beer fermenter (2 gal). Anyway, I think the beer will turn out great, but my brew day was a real chore today. I know, labor of love, but clean up was a real pain in the rear: it's damn near impossible to pour...

This is a cream ale I made last summer that's easy and very drinkable. Nugget Cream Ale - Cream Ale (6A) ================================================================================ Fermentables ================================================================================ Name...

Looked everywhere for an answer, but couldn't find one. This is not a question of whether trub results in loss, as it obviously does. In my case, I made a 5.25 beer, and now the volume is sitting at 5 gal on bottling day, which is about what I expected. However, given that there's about a two...

I bought this today (it's being shipped) and I'm having a hard time believing its lovibond is as low as it says, 1.25. https://www.homebrewing.org/Pale-LME-Liquid-Malt-Extract-Syrup--5-lb_p_7978.html I've never seen LME lower than 2 or 3, and it was pilsen light. Thoughts? Asking because I'm...

At the end of November I brewed this Mint Chocolate Chip Stout: Mint Chocolate Chip Stout Recipe Kit It includes a drab of mint chocolate chip flavoring which the brewer adds to the bottling bucket. Long story short, I finally set aside time to bottle it today after about 4 weeks, and didn't...

Came up with a dry stout recipe and would like some feedback on the grain bill and IBUs. Dry Stout - Basic with Wheat - Dry Stout (13A) ================================================================================ Batch Size 2.906 gal Boil Size 2.500 gal Boil Time...

So I'm planning to brew Charlie Papazian's Monkey's Paw Brown Ale today, but I've been a little unsure of the amount of hops. The OG is expected to be about 1.048, with a final gravity of around 1.012, and the IBUs listed is 41. When I plug that into BrewTarget, that looks way overhopped...

I have an 8 oz jar of harvested slurry. I'm thinking of using just a teaspoon or two for a 1 gallon batch. Can I just seal the rest and go back to it when I brew a larger batch?

I bought a few 5 liter mini kegs, the more durable ones, not the cheap ones. I only have one tap dispenser. Can I prime the other with sugar and simply store it sealed with the threaded lid, or do I need to buy a ball lock lid adapter so that I just attach the regulator and tap to it and avoid...

I've been using a corona mill for a handful of batches now. This is what I've set the mill's crush at. Think it's too much? Haven't checked efficiency. Was a little under OG on the last batch, but that was likely a matter of time (30 min mash).

I've been thinking about kegging with 5L and wanted to know if a 2.7 cubic ft mini fridge would be large enough. 5L kegs on EBay seem to be around 6 in diameter and 10 inches tall, so I'd imagine...

When I was pouring my slurry into my sanitized mason jar, I forgot to pour out the little bit of starsan that remained in the jar after spraying. It's an 8 oz jar, with probably as much as a quarter inch of liquid in it. Anyone think that's a big deal? I'm concerned about killing a lot of yeast...

I pitched dry yeast Lallemand Voss Kveik yesterday around 3 pm, so about 18 hrs ago at 80 F with no fluffy krausen yet. My basement is 72 F and this yeast works at 77 minimum. Think it's too late to put the primary in the summer heat outside, or will that be a dangerous fluctuation and p-off the...

Just as the title asks, did I ruin my batch of beer? I recently made a pale ale recipe with some white wheat malt (only 6% of the grain bill) and let it ferment in a 2 gallon Mr. Beer barrel. I let it naturally cool and in the morning (less than 12 hours later) pitched a leftover packet of...

This is not a question that should result in "you don't need to mash specialty grains" lol. I'm aware, however, I'm taking an all grain recipe from Brew Your Own British Real Ale (3rd edition) by Graham Wheeler (Arkell's Mash-Tun Mild) and converting it to a partial mash recipe in Brewtarget...
