I kegged a batch about 2.5 years ago and stored it in my Uncle's shed... inside a small fridge which hasn't been switched on... he has sadly passed away and I am going to get it soon... and I am keen to start brewing again... just wondering what condition the beer will be in and how safe it...

I've recently got myself a kegging setup... and a fridge... only thing is it is a very tight fit.... and I don't have room outside to store the co2 cylinder.... basically... see the black bit on top of the cylinder above where you turn it on, the thing you hold to carry it around... is it safe...

I am expecting to be put down on this before the idea has been taken off runway and I not a noob as much been brewing for over a year but.... My latest batch seems to suffering from oxidation... quite stale and not very pleasant on the nose as well as tasting quite bland and dry.... I am...

This week my brewing is going downhill... first my other lager seemed to have fusels alcohols... when kegging last night for the first time I dropped my co2 tank and broke a gauge on the regulator... and now this.... I thought this batch was going to turn out great... just opened it after cold...

I dropped my co2 tank on it's sidebwhen tehing to force carbonate my beer. The plastic screen came off and the dial gauge thing that tells you how much pressure is in the cylinder is all bashed and broke. Will this still work okay and is it dangerous? Thanks in advance :)

Right I'm just going to put it out there... my latest Hefeweizen has zero head retention... tastes bland... it's quite depressing... I have been brewing all grain for around a year... made about 15 batches with differing results and a couple of good Hefeweizens... my latest lager has great...

Alright fellow brewheads... I usually brew Hefeweizens and recently have done a couple of decent German pilsners.... for a while I have been looking for a really good recipe for Holsten pils... It is probably the only commercial lager that I truly like and drink occasionally... and my family...

A few of my brews... mainly a pilsner lager and an American wheat... all taste and smell good and as expected... however when I pour them every bottle creates in the glass a strange particular shape on top of the foam... A lot of the times these shapes are very similar... could this be a slight...

Right fellow home brew troopers... I have been making my own all grain beer for over a year successfully completing around 15 batches (5 gallon) and I am ready to take the next step into kegging... however I am taking a complete walk in the dark and don't know where to start... I was wanting...

Help...

I pitched some harvested wyeast 3068 a couple of days ago to my Hefeweizen (65% wheat, 20% pilsner, 15% munich) Usually everything goes well and I get tthe odd smell of sulphur however this time when I opened the door to the spare room all I could smell was a rotten vegetable / bin like smell...

Alright fellow brew heads...quick question here... I pitched just a smack pack of 3068 and got a nice weissbier not much banana... Next I seriously underpitched... too much banana... nearly a wasted batch and hardly any head.... I then started making starters from bottom harvested yeast which...

Right here is the deal lads and ladettes... First Hefe I brewed had brilliant head 😉 but a lot of trub and other protein particles floating around... On the 2nd one I decided to use the biab bag to filter the wort (used the no chill method) as I was transferring to the fermenter... it has...

I'm about to brew another hefe tomorrow... however I don't have yeast ready to pitch... I usually harvest the yeast from a previous batch and keep it refrigerated then pitch that for the next one... At the moment I have another hefe which is about a week into fermentation... could I potentially...

My first hefe I tried priming with a mix of corn sugar and dme... used a calculator and primed to 3.7 volumes... it tasted great however a couple of gushes and I was terrified of bottle bombs... My 2nd hefe I was really cautious and only primed to 3 volumes however it is really flat and does...

I tried my first Hefeweizen today and there is a ridiculous amount of trub / hop sediment in the bottles. It makes the beer look brown and clearly affects the taste. I tried straining it through a biab bag and when it went into the glass it looked clearer and tasted the way I imagined it would...

I was bottling my beer the other night which was my own version of my beloved Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen using the infamous wyeast 3068 strain and naturally I wanted to harvest this yeast to use in the future. As I was quite drunk at the time as I usually am when carrying out anything to do with...
