this question has to be around here someplace, my search keyword skills obviously need some help... i used BierMuncher's method for filling flip top beer bottles on tuesday... i went on a trip and we didn't drink all of them, so i have some warm bottles. i put them in the keezer, should i...

yesterday i broke the 80% (mash) efficiency mark brewing the well know 'cream of three crops' recipe. i could not have done it without all the help, thanks to everyone for making this board an invaluable resource. i was following a discussion yesterday, and decided to try a new method that POL...

i racked from a fermentation bucked into a keg last night... i know that wit's are supposed to be hazy in nature, but something didn't seem right. when i got near the bottom of the bucket (1 gallon remaining) the beer went from cloudy as i would have expected, to yeast sludge. at this point...

need some help with understanding my water profile report... any insight would be greatly appreciated. my tap water is drinkable, but definitely has a chlorine smell. inorganic chemicals: fluoride - (.920) ppm nitrate - (.21) ppm disinfectant residuals: tthm - (7.5-43.4) ppb haloacetic acids -...

Question about an all-grain batch of Duvel I brewed (from the 150 Classic Clone Recipes magazine)... it's been in fermentation for 14 days now, and still has plenty of suspended yeast. I racked it to the keg this afternoon, in hindsight, a carboy would have been better; it's very cloudy, has a...

it seems my keyboard and mouse picked the wrong model number when i ordered :drunk: 5/16ID x 7/16OD will this tubing work for my gas line? 40psi@70F... how does one calculate the max psi @ 40F? am i running a risk with such a small OD?

i have had horrible conversion on the last two batches i have brewed... after doing my research around the boards, i think the crush might be the problem. here is a picture of the left-over i had tonight. thoughts?

i have my ranco probe sitting in cup of water in the keezer and the temp set to 40. beer temp has been good, everything seems to be working fine... the ambient temp in the keezer is 50 degrees. is this expected? seems like a good environment for continued moisture build up. took the advice of...

got to test out the new setup this afternoon... my ss braid didn't do well in draining from the cooler. below you will find some pictures of the braid 'after' i was done. the braid has pvc in it with holes cut (you can see the indentations). the grain i used was crushed, but not too finely...

other than the plastic end on the faucet is there any difference? outside of price, it doesn't seem logical to get the plastic version does it?

took some pictures of the brew process last weekend... still some more editing to do, but you get the idea :D click on the pic for more...

anyone have or know where i might find a recipe for wittekerke? let me ask this a different way... for those of you who have not had this beer, it's not hoegaarden but it's not blue moon either. a belgian wheat with a very subtle and crisp flavor, hints of lemon... actually looks like lemonade...

i understand 7/16 OD to be the most common use for beer line tubing... i have also seen 5/16 and 1/4. i am not interested in the 1/4 OD, but how does the 5/16 hold up? i need to run new lines for my keezer and want to make sure it's done properly ;)

why is this so difficult? i assume it's a practice thing and i just haven't gotten to that point yet. my recent project is the collar for my keezer... even with a decent miter saw with a good blade attached, i still get a bit of deviation when i bring the corners together. they aren't horrible...

after spending hours paging through the "show me your kegerator" thread... if you had to do it all over again, would you mount your keezer collar to the top or the body of the freezer? i have read pro's and con's to both... it seems the big benefit of mounting it to the top allows for more...

anyone have experience with these regulators? found some in my area for $40 each... wondering what the quality is like. if anyone else is interested, the seller has 7 of them. more info here...

A friend has a CO2 tank he is getting rid of; he doesn't know how many pounds it holds... the tank is roughly 8"(diameter) x 26"(height). I am assuming 10lbs?

brewing a nut brown ale tonight... much to my surprise when i opened the wyeast 1768 English Bitter (MFG 17NOV08) it looked similar to cottage cheese. is this normal? i was able to get most of it out of the package without any issues, wondering if i need more/less/no more yeast to be added?

after a beer has hit its target FG, how does aging the beer affect bitterness? two things i am interested in; the science of what is going on during aging, two, how much can one expect bitterness to "decrease" during aging? (i imagine there are a myriad of factors here). example: i brewed an...

from what i understand, it's better to have a brew pot that has a smaller diameter (and taller) vs. a bigger diameter? is this correct? how would this work for a brew pot?
