    Keeping harvested yeast

    So, I've just made possibly the best thing (Cream Ale) I've ever brewed and I believe it to be due to the liquid yeast blend I used. I took notes during the brew process! Huzzah! I'm lazy so I left the brew in the bucket for 3-4 weeks after it finished. I got around to kegging and quick...

    BrewZilla pump chatter

    Anyone noticed the BrewZilla recirculation pump start to chatter when the flow is restricted to ~60% flow or below? This only started happening to me after it went through around 6 brews or so. It hasn't failed, but I'm wondering if there is a fix, or if I should look at replacing the pump. ...

    Freezer internal dimensions

    So I'm tight on space in my current living arrangements. I have a Keezer, its a Danby 7.2cu ft. However, my ball lock kegs only fit in the W pattern. If it were about an inch deeper it would fit 6 Kegs instead of just 4. Are freezers in this size range available with an internal front to back...

    Simple Dunkle

    Quick question. I'm making a simple Dunkle I got from OBK. The kit just landed on my doorstep and my gear is still out from last nights brew! LOL But the instructions are pretty scant. https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/grainkit%20-%20obk%20dunkelweizen.pdf Okay, so...

    tail piece assembly

    Hi everyone. I bought these tail piece assemblies for my keezer: Link -> Tail Piece Assembly Does the washer act as a gasket, or to lock down the nut? Does the washer go between the tail and the shank or not? Yet another way to put it, should the shank mate metal to metal? I have another keg...

    Couple die after drinking homemade beer in South Africa

    The below is a copy paste, news posted today. Anyone have any ideas on what could have gone wrong besides pathogens or contaminants? IMHO home brewing is very safe! But, I'm a new home brewer and would like to know if there are any pitfalls that could lead the below? This has me shaking my head...

    The quest for free beer

    New brewer - I've made my first all grain from kit. I really loved that beer because that 5Gal batch was gone in less than 14 days. The kit was $39 CAD. What I found is that even off the same site that sold the kit, buying the ingredients separately, I can lower the cost to $31 - that's around...

    New to Grain and Brewzilla at the same time

    So I dove in with both feet. I've got a kegerator and a keg ready at the bit. Its currently holding a gallon of nice cider/dry apple wine I made - its actually quite good!. Then I have an all grain kit and a Brand new brewzilla 35L still in the box. I've never done grain. Period. I only have...

    Fermentation stopped day 6/10

    Using an extract kit, calls for 1KG dextrose in addition to the LME. <- instruction link My concern is the Co2 production just hard stopped without slowdown overnight, whereas the previous days all had 5-8 seconds between "airlock burps". I think I had it running more or less consistently at...

    First batch - before I start....any advice appreciated

    I tried years ago, but let's begin with a clean slate. :) Okay, I couple questions. I've got a couple of nice 23L carboy (I think - will have to measure). Can I use the carboy as the primary without overflow? Maybe put it in a pan just in case? The kit calls for 23L of total volume. Here is...
