Not sure if this is the right forum so please move if necessary. I am converting a standing fridge to a kegerator (fridge on bottom, freezer above). I took the door off, removed the seal, and removed the shelves. I cut and sanded the insulation down to be smooth and put a piece of plywood down...

Looking for a hoppy Amber that's not quite vaulted into Red IPA status. Shooting for a piney, spicy, citrus Hop profile. I've had a tendency to focus on more fruity hops like Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy so need some advice on these old school "C" hops. 9.25lbs US 2 Row 1lb Munich I .75lbs...

SWMBO is slowly coming around to hoppy beers so I was going to brew IPA, but she prefers more fruity/tropical flavors. Was thinking of pairing Galaxy and Pacifica, but wanted feedback on this hop combo and the ratio between them. Anyone used these together?

I'm wanting to make a funky cider similar to what the French make (minus the keeving). Does anyone know if the dregs form Etienne Dupont's Brut du Normandie are viable? I know they use wild yeast and don't filter or pasteurize, but wasn't sure if they bottled with champagne or not. I've...

This isn't attempt to restart the debate of dry hopping in primary vs secondary. I just would like to hear from someone who does/has dry hop in primary who DOESN'T/HASN't cold crashed (just siphoned through a bag). Were there any clarity issues vs a dry hop in secondary without cold crashing...

Can anyone help narrow down what my priming target should be for a saison? I see a lot of conflicting info on this style on what the target should be, I've seen as low as 2.0 to as high as 3.2. That's a pretty sizable range.

I tried the Google box and couldn't fine an answer, but would there be any issues wrapping a fermwrap with a sleeping bag? I'm going to try snaking my fermwrap to cover 2 carboys and would like to insulate them some more since my basement gets to ambient 58-60 this time of year. I have a...
