    Murky Beer

    I did my first all grain a couple months ago and everything went perfectly. It was a great beer and I was so proud of it. Since then my beers have been murky/cloudy. On my last brew I even tried mashing longer in case I wasn't getting a full conversion, but it is still cloudy. The only...

    How much beer do you buy each month?

    Personally it depends on how my pipeline is doing and if I have been able to brew lately. I generally buy 1-2 six packs and the occasional bomber. Edit: Good old copy and paste. Totally botched making it plural.

    Beer Line Length

    I've been looking through a lot of foaming threads and balancing articles and I am curious if it's possible to have lines that are too long. A lot of people seem to suggest getting 10' lines. According to some equations this would balance a system for 20 PSI. Does this work at controlling...

    Foam Question

    I think I might know the answer to this, but before I start trying to fix it I am looking for a little confirmation. I finished my keezer a few weeks ago and I am having foaming issues when I first start to pour. I'll get half a glass of foam then after that I am getting good pours. I am...

    Something new and different... Keezer!

    Took me awhile but I finally built one. I got a 9 cubic foot Frigidaire from Lowes and a dual regulator setup with a 3-way manifold from KegConnections. Took the most inspiration from GroovePuppy's design. My change was making a single door on the front instead of dual doors. I built the...

    Sealing the Collar

    Just looking for some insight on whether it is necessary for me to seal the collar of my keezer with something. I have a cedar collar built. I'm at the point where I would need to seal it before moving on. Really want to get this thing done so I can starting pouring pints and put up a...

    Collar Height

    I am waiting for my kit to come in from Keg Connections and I would like to have the collar for my keezer reading to go when it arrives. However, I don't know how high I need go. The top of my ball locks sits 6" above the top of the freezer when sitting on the hump. Is giving it another 2"...

    Help!!! Stove Can't Reach Boil

    So I recently moved and I am brewing for the first time on my new stove. I am now realizing that I should have tested its boiling capacity before brewing. Now I realize I need to get a turkey fryer or a heating element. It seems to have plateaued around 200 degrees and can't get to a boil...

    Infected Bucket = Sanitizer Bucket?

    I have a bucket that is harboring some kind of infection. I know this because I had an infected batch and made another batch with all of the same equipment except for that bucket and it was fine. Could I use this bucket to mix up sanitizer? It should kill anything that manages to get into...

    Temperature Control

    Hey guys! Just wondering about ways to help stabilize the temperature of my brew during fermentation. I live on a 3rd floor apartment with no air conditioning. The temperature changes pretty dramatically throughout the day. Unfortunately, building a fermentation fridge is currently not an...

    Keeping Records

    I am just curious what you guys keep track of for each brew. I am only doing extracts right now, so I am sure you need to track a lot more. So what should I put into my journal?

    Hello!

    Hi everybody! Just stumbled on this community. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Started my first batch (American Pale Ale) a few weeks back. Getting ready to bottle today. Can't wait (although I am...patiently) to enjoy my first batch.
