I really thank everyone for this tip, I imagine it'll work out just fine, it'll have a hoppy aroma, but that's alright, like I said, not too picky about my own brews. The fermentation was still extremely vigorous once I added the hops, it should work out just fine.

Well, I boiled .9 or so oz of Williamette hops, reduced them down heavily due to how much they absorb. I basically added the boiled hop mush to the conical, it had only been fermenting for one day. What I am hoping is the vigor of the yeast will sort of move the mush around and infuse it, rather...

Is it feasible to boil about 2 cups of water down to one cup of water (or less) with 1os of spare freezer hops?

That's very true, I can add this no problem as long as it's sterile? I should have some extra hops in the freezer, might change the profile a little but yea... Thanks!

Sigh... We'll see... Luckily I have two more kits. I was really looking forward to a simple hefe and of course, managed to ruin it. The yeast has long since been pitched, it's like a vortex in the sight glass right now. Oh well.

Well... I've been around for a little while and brewed many beers, but it's been almost half a year, as I went to work in a remote location. I made a Bavarian Hefe, only one hop addition at the beginning, but I added the 60 min addition at 0 min, forgetting that the sheet is a 'countdown'...

I get plenty of burst. I also get a large burst when I unscrew the regulator from the CO2 tank with everything shut off.

I used a bit of this buster spray on the showing part of the screw. I unscrewed it as far as it would go and cleaned it well. It's turning "somewhat" easily now. I tightened it all the way in and the CO2 barely went up. The tare weight on the CO2 tanks is the same, and one was 3lbs heavier...

I'm a bit interested in trying to grow them in Alaska, I'm about to head out there. I will be on the coastal region, Zone 6B I think it is, not a terrible climate... Very humid though.

It still has room in both directions to rotate. Sorry, can't get a pic now, it's not butted up against the nut, nor too far out, should theoretically be right around the middle. The CO2 tanks are identical, I weighed them both and compared them, one is 3lbs heavier. There is still CO2 in it, it...

How can I tackle this? There's about 3lbs of CO2 left in the tank. I thought I might've been out because beer wasn't flowing, but I weighed it and the adjustment screw seems to be crazy tight. No way can I adjust it easily with a flat head, I have to stick to using a wrench and attaching it to...

Thanks, no rush. I'm just about to finish a keg and order two new kits, I have everything but a faucet, this adapter and another keg for a three beer setup. So I have many weeks to complete this task.

I currently have a two faucet tower, I'd like to add one more faucet without swapping the whole tower. Therefore, looking for one-faucet extender or adapter. They are not particularly expensive but I figured I'd see if anyone had one lying around for cheap before ordering a new one. Thanks!

RIP weisbier... O-rings arrived. One did not solve it, two did however.

Waiting on o-rings in the mail... Can anyone please comment on this: with a keg leak, will every spec of CO2 inside leave the chilled keg? If not, at what rate would I expect oxygen to become an issue? Or will there always be a protective cushion of CO2 that remains inside preserving my...

I am using Corny kegs with universal posts, brand new poppets and such... However there is a consistent leak at the bottom of the post and it is driving me bonkers. This same post lost me quite a bit of a 5# CO2 which are not cheap where I live, exchange or refill. - The dip tube O-ring is...

Alright, I'll deal with the nuances when it arrives, for now, I just want to drink more beer.

Thanks chief, this looks great. It can sit inside the fridge no problem?

Is this possible? My kegerator has one slot for a hose, unless I cut the kegerator's back open and potentially break it and/or ruin its thermal properties, I don't know how I can carbonate 3 kegs from the same CO2 tank, most regulator additions are directly on the tank and involve separate...

I’ll be honest, I’m nearly drunk from a huge glass of the imperial IPA that I was troubleshooting and I cannot remember how I fixed the issue. The issue has been fixed. I am now sufficiently drunk having finished this write up.
