Brewed a Belgian Golden Strong in early March. It’s been aging for a few weeks in the keg. Plan to begin carb in 2 days, then age for ~6 weeks.

7-10 kegs

I always clean my kegs after use, rinse, then throw in 1/4-1/2 gal Starsan. I shake it up, pressurize to ~15psi, depress the liquid out until some sanitizer comes out, turn it upside down and depress the CO2 to let a bit leak out, and also the PRV. I stack them in a corner and leave them until I...

I have an Anvil Foundry, and a hoist in my garage ceiling. I simply raise the basket enough for the water level to come down to just above the top of the grain, set the hoist and start adding sparge water. When the water levels equalize, I repeat the process until sparge is complete, then lift...

The fermenter has a temperature gauge, bottom dump valve and racking/sample valve installed. Asking $160.00 for the MLT, and $100.00 for the...

I have 2 Blichmann G2 kettles for sale, 1 15 gallon and 1 20 gallon. Both are in very good condition, and very clean with original documentation and mfr supplied tools. Selling because I am simplifying my process. Will sell the 15 for $230 and the 20 for $250, or $425.00 for both. May negotiate...

Jorge, Yes, I will start a private conversation to give you my contact info

Hi Jorge. Shoot, just checked my post today (Sunday). They are still available. Any time you want to come by, let me know. Sorry, I didn't set my preferences to notify me, but have now corrected that!

San Fernando Valley. First one to pick up gets.

Morrey, they both chew and taste the same. I'm thinking it was mislabeled. Thanks

Here's a silly one: I bought some wheat malt at my LHBS. They had a bin labeled Avangard base wheat malt, but it looks almost exactly like barley malt. Are the two malts totally distinguishable or can they look fairly similar? I've done a couple of beers with wheat before, but can't remember if...

Hi All, I just wanted to share my experiences with the little tan wonder pump. I bought it from Amazon for $22.00 about 2 years ago, and it worked great for use as a sparge water pump. I have used it as a wort recirculation and post-boil chiller pump on about 9 5-gallon brews and 3-4...

One more update: As of this morning, the kruesen has blown though the airlock. (5 gallons wort in a 6 gallon bucket.) I'm deliriously happy! Chuckyboomboom

Thanks again everyone for contributing your expertise. A little update: once the beer warmed up to upper 60s, it took off like gangbusters. A lot of DMS odor, but I cooled it down to 62 with a water bath, and everything seems to be settling down. Awesome! If it still smells strongly of DMS when...

Khawk95: Haha! Will do. Thanks everyone. I'll let you know how it tastes Chuckyboomboom

JimRausch: No, I did not do a starter. The yeast was past its prime, but I smacked the pack a day earlier and it swelled a little, not much Chuckyboomboom

I brewed an Alt last Friday and pitched Wyeast 1007. Temperature is 52-57 F. No fermentation yet. I roused the yeast today and am letting it warm up. Is 52F too cold for this yeast or should I re pitch? Chuckyboomboom
