This is a new keezer build. Using 5/16" ID red gas hose and swivel nuts. Tried both an oetiker clamp and a worm clamp. Getting a strong leak even at 10psi out the hose at this connection. I'm using the piece recommended on the kegconnection website: "Our 1/4" Flare to 5/16 Tubing (FFL to...

I am putting together a keezer build and was planning on doing all MFL. I am noticing to do MFL on the taprite 3-way secondary regulator I am getting adds about $30 vs 5/16" barbed. I don't imagine that I'll need to take apart the gas line very often/ever. I'll still do swivel nuts/MFL on the...

This is my first attempt at formulating a recipe. I have 7oz (dried) of hops that I grew this year that I want to use for aroma/flavor in this beer. I also have a little left over Galaxy for flavor/bittering. The IBUs as calculated by beersmith come out where I want them but I'm hoping some of...

I have a year-old flander's red that is about to be bottled. After sampling it I think that it would go nicely with some blackberries, so I'm going to split it and fruit half of it. I see that Oregon Fruit doesn't can blackberries in water so I'm thinking i'll use frozen blackberries at...

I'm curious what the experienced wild beer homebrewers do to estimate SG when sampling. I just pulled samples from my first 2 sour beers, both 6 months old and noticed about 4 gravity point variation in different online Brix to SG/FG calculators. I don't want to take hydrometer sized samples at...

Sour newbie here, my first two batches (a lambic and a flanders red) are in the closet for secondary after 1 month primaries with temp control ~65F. While the ambient temp in my house is 68F the beer has dropped to 57F in the closet and may go a few degrees lower during winter. After that I...

Some good sours on Colorado shelves right now; looking to try some sours that I can't get here. FT: RR Supplication (up to 4) RR Consecration (up to 3) Avery Rufus Corvus (up to 2) Crooked Stave Batch 100 (lots available last week, haven't checked this week) Crooked Stave Autumn...

Brewed a 10% Imperial Stout and have had it aging for the past three months including some time with bourbon soaked oak cubes. After bottling I decided to go all out and wax and label. At this point I realized that I forgot to add the bottling yeast. :( Reading old posts it sounds like at...

It would be appreciated if someone out there with a 6.5 gallon plastic big mouth bubbler could give me a height measurement with an airlock on. The website says 23in. for the fermenter and my 5cf chest freezer chamber is just under 28in. so it's going to be a tight fit!

Have 2 fresh Pliny the Elders (bottled 7/16/14) and 1 consecration and am looking for KBS or the like.

I'm entering a beer for the first time to get some feedback from experienced beer tasters. I was a bit surprised by the recipe form as I thought that comps were about blind tasting and judging to style and not influenced by ingredients and procedures used. Do most comps require that you fill out...

I've played around with the water tool and looked on the forums for this but haven't found an definitive answer. When I add my water profile to a recipe it defaults to the batch size (5gal) instead of the total water used in the brew process (~8gal). I see in the bottom left corner that you...

Hi all. I have a few batches under my belt and after winding up on HBT daily looking for answers to my questions I thought I might as well join the forum community. I decided to jump right into all-grain. First batch was a 1 gallon batch in a wine jug, then went to the store got a 3 gallon...
