I see what your saying. My intention is to eventually switch to a full HERMS set up, just don't want to drop all the bank at once. That, I suppose, is the prime benefit. There is a probably a very small boost in mash efficiency from recirculating, by eliminating temperature stratifications...

I am just polling the community for opinions on an idea I had. I'm not sure if it's feasible, but is anybody out there mashing in a cooler and recirculating their mash through an electric HLT? Can anyone think of a reason that wouldn't work? It seems like a way to maybe gradually purchase the...

I've leak checked every connection I can think of, tank to hose, hose to disconnect, both posts, keg lid. The keg holds CO2 pressure by itself, but when the Nitro tank is connected, it leaks.....somewhere.... Could the post be leaking only when the disconnect is engaged?

Has anybody ever had this problem? I"ve been through a few rounds of searching for this leak but couldn't ever find it. Finally just switched the remainder of the keg over to CO2, til it kicked. Getting ready to keg another stout though and wondered what people thought about this. Already...

I'm leaning toward leaky keg, but I'm looking for some confirmation. I've got a 5lb. nitro tank that I've refilled...several times. AND I'm on my second nitro regulator, both are new. Last night to test if the regulator was holding pressure, I turned the gas off at the tank, expecting to see...

I'm hoping somebody can give me a little advice here. I'm new to kegging and I'm trying to get everything set up correctly. I've read several different options for length/ID of beer line, and I'm wondering if what I have purchased will work ok for me. Hopefully it will. I'll have 3 taps...

indeed. Thanks!

Hello fellow brewers! I was wondering if anybody has a favorite easy method for bumping up gravity. I thought maybe I'd try just adding a couple of lbs. of either corn sugar or cane sugar 10 minutes from the end of the boil. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have a feeling that my wife would rather everything be self contained as it will likely be inside the house.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kegerator that will fit the following?: 3 5-gal corny kegs, CO2 bottle, Nitro bottle and 2 regulators?

Hey everyone! I'm a week away from bottling an Imperial IPA and I've read some posts on other places around the web about people having carbonation problems with >7.5% ABV beer. Anyone experience this? I also read some people use an additional half pack of dry yeast in the bottling bucket...

Hi folks, I'm getting ready to brew an imperial IPA and the recipe calls for something like 2 months in secondary. I think I've also heard though that pitching a strong starter yeast, and more of it, might decrease the time necessary for aging. Does anybody have any experience or...
