    Stale Grains

    I purchased and milled some gains about a month ago and they have been sitting in the paper bag that I bought them in. Question: Have they gone stale, should I throw them out and start fresh or are they still ok?

    Gotta Go!

    I am moving to a new place and of course now I need to move my kegs and cooler. It is a deep freezer with 4 korney kegs in it and temp controller. My question is, how do I go about moving the kegs? Will the temperature change ( its hot out ) or all of the sloshing ruin the beer? Has anyone...

    Dual Purpose Kegger

    I have a small deep freezer that I have converted to a keg cooler. It has a ranco controller that keeps the temp at about 40degrees. I have been battling keeping my fermenting beer at a near constant temperature and I am wondering if there is any down side to raising the temp on the kegger up to...

    Weissbier Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen

    OOPS. I used a dry Safbrew yeast. I mean there are a LOT of pages to this post and I missed that part about the yeast not being authentic. The datasheet for the WB-06 shows the Ferment temp as being 59-75F, any suggestions as to where I should aim for the average temp? I use a swamp cooler...

    1-Gallon Brewers UNITE!

    I go 5 gallon All Grain batches and have recently moved to 3 gallon AG batches so that I can try new recipies and because I have some 3 gallon kegs. Smaller batches are fun to brew and much easier to accomplish on all fronts and cheaper too. I don't consume beer that fast so smaller batches are...

    ARGGH. Picnic Taps???

    I guess that 3 dollar faucet isnt the greatest thing. I guess I will just keep the tap unplugged from the keg until I am ready to imbibe.

    ARGGH. Picnic Taps???

    I almost cried. She barely had a chance at life, cut down way too young.

    ARGGH. Picnic Taps???

    So, I put 5 gallons of stout into the corney keg and let it sit a few weeks. I checked today and all 5 gallons had emptied into the bottom of the chest freezer. I have been kegging for almost a year with no problems unitl now. I am not sure why this happened. I had a picnic tap on the keg and I...

    Bottle Pressure

    The bottle sits outside the refrigerator and went from an 85f car to a cool garage. I am talking purely the pressure that the regulator reads on the contents of the bottle. I keep my kegs around 8psi.

    Bottle Pressure

    I have a question regarding 5 gallon CO2 bottle pressure. How much should the regulator meter go down when the bottle goes from an ambient temperature of 85f down to say 70f ?

    What piece of equipment improved your all-grain brewing for the positive the most?

    The answer is: An IPOD with 5 hours of ROCKIN' music!!!

    Coleman MLT Lid

    The expandy foam that I bought comes in a spray can with about a 10" long applicator tube so I could spray the foam deep into the hollow core of the lid. As the foam is released, it expands automatically fills the space nicely.

    Coleman MLT Lid

    Ok, heres my simple contribution to the state of the art of brewing. My MLT is a converted rectangular cooler that was gathering dust in the garage. The cooler works well holding temperature as long as I cover it with a blanket. I realized that the lid had no insulation! On a cool day, I can...

    Tubing Question

    I am was just about the syphon the fermented beer into a keg and I noticed a bit if what looks like mold inside the clear tubing on my autosyphon. This is the clear flexible tubing that connects to the syphon. I tried cleaning it out and swamping it with sanitizer but there is still some there...

    Easiest way to measure fermenter temp in swamp cooler?

    The stickers are ok however don't let them get wet, the ones I used got wet and got destroyed.

    Why not recommend half-batches?

    My last 3 batches have been 3 gallon efforts. I have just begun creating my own All Grain Recipes and smaller batches are a good way to experiment without investing a lot of money on a bad recipe.

    Mashing

    Are the sides of your cooler deformed or is that just an illusion from the camera?
