Hello all. I'm tired of only brewing during ideal months where my garage maintains a good fermentation temperature. I recently got back a mini fridge from work, and thought I should build a fermentation chamber around it. The problem with it is that the mini fridge is very small, most of the...

Hello y'all, I've done a bit of looking and plugged the numbers into a couple of the various kegging calculators you can find online. I've got a Piwo Grodziskie brewed, carbed and ready to tap, and I've just stood up a new kegerator -- the length from the center of the keg to the taps is about...

Hey all, I'm planning a brew for this weekend, and I'm running up against a problem with calculations, trying to iron it out so I dont have any surprises come this weekend. At the moment, my equipment mostly consists of two 10 gallon Bayou Classic kettles. These kettles have a valve at the...

Hello all, Have a few brews under my belt, but have a problem I haven't seen before so I thought I'd post here. My APA attempt from the weekend before last is still bubbling through the blowoff tube slowly after about 13 days. This wouldn't bother me so much, but yeast/trub cake I've...

First brew day in quite a long time (it's been a little too hot here for fermentation, and I'm also lazy) So without going into too much detail, my 5gal brew has been sitting in the fermenter for about 48 hours now, with narry a single bubble through the airlock. Might still go, and I've had...

Had to watch helplessly today as my auto-siphon picked up about equal parts freshly fermented beer.... and equal parts air bubbles.. I'm hoping the beer turns out okay, it went straight into the keg and I purged the keg several times, but I'm not holding my breath at this point. This is about...

Hello all, Plodding along, made a BIAB that was pretty damn good. I was thinking of going with a batch sparge for my next batch but I am curious about a potential problem with my equipment. I have a 10-gallon kettle with a false bottom and a mesh screen spigot at the bottom. The issue is...

Hello all, I think I'm almost ready to move from extract to grain brewing, but I have some questions about steps involved. I've been doing a lot of reading, but I think I'm just getting myself confused reading about different methods to fit them to the equipment that I have. I managed to get a...

Hello all, I've recently started kegging, but I'm having a severe foaming issue (as in, the glass is ENTIRELY foam when it is dispensed) I've just been using the set & forget at about 15psi at ~38F I was using a tube that was entirely too long (~6 feet) but I've cut it down to about 3.5...

Hello again, Brewing an extract IPA (last thread) I actually kind of like the taste of it compared to my last few beers, the only problem is that this time it's flat as a pancake after 2 weeks. Tried 2 bottles and both are utterly flat I switched this time from using honey as a priming agent to...

Hello all, I know you get this question all the time, but I thought I'd ask since my last few brews didnt quite look like this I'm on my third batch of beer (1st was from a kit, second was an extremely banana-y APA) Trying again, its been about 9 days in the primary, still bubbling...
