Are both of the rollers activated to turn or just one? Thanks,

Visiting Three Floyds a few years back, I had a Chocolate Banana Weizenbock. It was described as a &#8220;chocolate banana popsicle&#8221; beer. OK, some may think this sounds nasty, but I totally grooved on it. Different strokes- The recipe below is an attempt to replicate the beer. How...

Hi folks, As the title says, this is my first time creating a recipe. I want to do a copper ale, sorta like Lagunitas Censored. Suggestions- Oh, I'm just getting into Brewsmith, so if something seems really screwy... Type: All Grain Date: 7/31/2009 Batch Size: 5.50 gal Brewer...

OK, I was drinking... I'm messing around with the Corneys and I put the "In" disconnect on the "Out" post. How do I get the little bugger off?

Hi Folks, I’ve brewed AG for a few months now, but have just ordered pre-made ingredient kits. I’m now ready to start ordering items in bulk… hops first. I’m looking for help on an order with the goal being to cover the bases, and, to minimize the size of the order. Ideally, the order...

Does flaked barley look like oat meal? I just received a bag of the stuff and my first thought was, "They ain't nuthin in thar but a bunch o' oatmeal." Do you run it through the malt mill? Thanks,

Hi, In the past I’ve just poured the cooled wort back and forth a few times, bucket to bucket. (AG brewer, in 1.035 - 1.055 SG range... but I'll probably be venturing into 1.080+ range soon.) Should I get an oxygenation system ? Is it just a matter of getting a diffusion stone and one...

I'm just getting in to kegging-Star San in Cornies-is the corrosive nature of the sanitizer a problem? If it's a no-go, what's a good easy/cheap replacement?

Does the recommended fermentation temperature refer to ambient temperature or the temp of the beer, which will be 5-10 higher than ambient? I’m brewing a porter so ferment temp should be about 65 degrees. What should the ferm. refrigerator be set at?

I&#8217;ve ordered 4 Corney kegs from Pedalbiker to start kegging. I want to have access to two or three kegs at one time, one of them being soda. What&#8217;s the best way to do this? Manifold? Multiple-body Regulator? Splitters? Thanks. Oh, what&#8217;s the difference in regulators? Why is...

I've already ordered a 5# CO2 tank and then came across a killer deal for two 20#s, that were inspected just over a year ago. Is it possible to fill up the 20#s and transfer CO2 myself to the 5# tank?

It seems like most everyone gets a chest freezer for kegging. What are the negatives to using an upright freezer?

Hi, I have a quasi real ale system rigged up. The only problem- the cubitainers are not equipped to allow oxygen to enter, which is necessary to attain real ale. I&#8217;ve gotten around this by tilting the cubitainer and opening the spigot&#8230; allowing outside air to enter&#8230; but this...

Been brewing almost two years... minus a 6 month hiatus. I'm on the AL/GA border, a bit SE of Anniston. Brew #19 set for tomorrow. A broon ale.
