I have been chasing a co2 leak on my kegerator for months now. I had the system in storage for a year after moving to new home. As last resort I have taken the distribution manifold and all gas lines and submerged them resulting in no leaks. I built a spunding test setup to check keg leaks. I...

Recently moved my electric brewing system to a new house. My kegerator is in the garage and I keg in the basement brew room. When I fill the keg it is not under pressure until I get it to the garage and therefore leaks during the transport. I know the best solution is to have another co2 bottle...

Could use some input. Built a full electric panel running 4500w boil and HLT and 4500 rims running at 120v. My problem is that the pid is calling for heat and the SSR is sending the signal to heat but sometimes the ssr stays in full on mode instead of cycling with the pid, ssr signal. Other...

Anyone Dry hop with Azaca? Doing a blond and want to add some zip. I've used Citra with success but have heard good things about Azaca and thought I might give it a shot dry hopping in the keg.

Good morning. A year ago or so someone on the forum offered me a 2 tap tower at N/C. Sorry I can't find the member who did so, but thanks! So I am paying it forward. Free to good home, Pay for shipping only.

I find myself with a decision of, keep or discard a recent brew that I made several mistakes on. This was a leftover grain concoction of 28# of Pilsen, 2 row, C10, Munich, wheat, Carafoam. The Wort was in good balance and I made the unfortunate decision to cut the wort with water to reduce...

I have many older beer glasses that have the normal accumulation of surface crud that I cannot remove. Anyone have a procedure to get old glasses Beer Glass Clean ? Thanks in advance!

Any experience on the round and rectangular Speidel fermentors. Looks as if the lid is improved on the rectangular model.

Do full carbonated kegs need to be stored refrigerated? I have limited cold storage but want to keep plenty of beer types available.

Hi everyone Many times I am brewing beers that start with someone else's recipe. The final recipe is close to the original but modified for my system and taste. When someone asked me what beer it is, I am reluctant to call it the name of the original recipe because it is different, sometimes...

I have recently switched to 10 gallon all grain batches and the resulting beers seem to be sweeter than the 5 gal versions. It could be me or some other anomaly. Anyone experience an issue scaling a recipe up in BeerSmith and having insufficient bittering? Thank in advance. :mug:

I have 2 similar all grain 5 gal kits that I would like to combine into a 10 gallon batch. I expect the outcome to be similar to mixing 2 bottles of these two brews. Is that realistic? Should I anticipate that the combination of the batches would yield a battle of hops or grains that would ruin...

I am putting finishing touch on my 3 bay chamber. Each compartment will have its own STC-1000 controller. Heating will be with heat tape for reptile cages. Cooling will be provided by individual computer fans pushing cool AC air into the chamber. In my mind I have worked out the details. I...

Seems as if most of the kits offered are rather light in ABV. Is it reasonable to boost the alcohol level as a general rule by a point or point and a half to around the 6% mark? When ordering kits I have purchased extra base malts per Beersmith. But sometimes I don't have the extra grains. I...

Good morning I brewed an all grain NB buffalo sweat clone 48 hours ago and realized this morning that I did not add the 1# of lactose to the boil. Should I boil the lactose and cool, then add now or is it too late to do so?

For those who hate the current capping options available, Here is the UTube link to my pneumatic bottle capper based on the design by TH. If anyone is interested I can build these in any configuration, from complete to just welded frame for you to complete. I am also willing to provide any...

I am in the planning stage of a e RINS setup. I can buy legal keg gels with two welded fittings at about the same money as a 15 gal kettle. Any opinion as to the better solution.
