Hi I am switching from a 5 gallon igloo cooler to a ten gallon igloo cooler for my MLT. I have a 10 inch false bottom from the smaller cooler. is it fine for the larger cooler, or should I have a 12 inch one to cover the whole bottom? Thanks for the responses

This will be my first time dry hopping. I primary in a bottling bucket, then gravity feed to a serving keg. I ferment around 18.5C. I let it sit in the keg for a couple of weeks at 11C to settle before carbonating. I could let it drop to 5C in the fridge. Is it better to add the dry hops to the...

I took the 'sweet sap' from my evaporator and added champagne yeast. It's really dark. I used an acid melange and yeast nutrient recommended by a home brewing store. OG was 1.094. It started fermenting April 12, and is still going. It was originally set at 16*C with my inkbird. After a couple...

I have no idea what is wrong. I have a keg of beer that has been carbonating for over two weeks now. The beer flows well out of the tap. I measured the pressure with a spund and it registered 14 psi which is what I upped my co2 to a couple of days ago in case it was a gauge problem. I have...

Hi l made a red ale on February 12. I transferred it to a keg feb 26. I am cold crashing it today because it is warm (-2C now, up to +1C this afternoon). It will be -4C at 11pm, and to -9C overnight. About how long should I leave it outside for. My basement is +8C. When I bring it in I think I...

I have about a kilo each of crystal 20 and crystal 160. Could I do a mix of both to get say crystal 40 or 60? Thanks

I am having a lot of trouble with my second keg. My first went fine. I bought four used kegs and they are all different. They are pin lock. One doesn’t hold water upside down because the top has a wobble bigger than the lid and new o-ring can seal. The other three seem to hold gas. The one I am...

I was brewing a smash ale today. I have never gotten a full 19 litres from a batch (I have only done 7), because I have an 8 gallon electric kettle with a 4500 element. I fill as high as I can and am right on the heater rheostat to turn it down as the hot break rises, and up again as it falls...

Hi all, after doing all measurements, and convincing I purchased a tower kegerator to fit in under utilized cabinet in the kitchen, so I could have the tower on the bar above the counter. It is not as easy to fit as I thought and does not have the 3 inch airspace all around. So I am thinking of...

Hi all, after reading Bobby M's Kef force carbing methods, I have decided to go the kegging route. I am seven batches in and have not perfected the sugar (I use maple syrup) bottle carb system. Does anyone have experience with the costco danby kegerator or Dbestbuy insignia-1-tap-kegerator? Thanks

Hi. I have made three brews so far. The first I had a lot of help from this forum and it went pretty well, but I didn't add enough maple syrup at bottling so there wasn't much head. The second went pretty well. was a little rough after two weeks in the bottle, but now is three weeks and is...

White labs has a IPA recipe that uses 1 lb 13 oz of crystal 60 and the same amount of crystal 120. What would be the difference if I used 3 lbs 10 oz (same total quantity) of crystal 120?

Hello all, I have decided to start a small home brew operation and I have learned a lot from reading this forum. I have the green light to brew in our unfinished basement. It is a constant 9-11 degrees celcius winter and summer. Can I ferment the beer in this temperature? Is there a yeast that...
