So I filled a sanke keg with a delicious english mild a few weeks ago with some priming sugar to get it carbed up to about 2 volumes. Now I went to put the coupler on and I asked my dad who has dealt with these kegs lots of times and he said no problems, just push it down and turn. So I pushed...

I've brewed Hefe, Wit, English Mild, Northern Brown, Cream Ale, American Brown, etc. I've used Continental Pils, Maris otter, and extract kits. Some of the guys in my club say Maris Otter and wheat make beer tart but I haven't found anything to support that idea. Could water chemistry be making...

Trying to get something drinkable and smooth with a plum character like Newcastle. Balanced but more towards maltiness with a slight sweetness. Dominated by these flavors: Biscuity, bready and malty Secondary flavors: Fruity esters, Plum smooth, low carbonation, very slight hop presence...

I downloaded the "brewpal" app for brewing on my iphone and they don't seem to have a single continental malt in the grain selection so I was trying to add a german 2-row to the list for my wit and there is some field that is requiring a number to be assigned and it's called "P" the range is...

I was planning on a Hefe but what else can I do that would be a quick turnaround beer style? I just got a keggerator and I might be able to get everything set up within a month to be serving 4 kegs outta the thing at one time. I just have to check finances to be sure I can afford another...

My grandma has a keggerator that will fit a Sanke or 4 Cornies, regulator, tap, faucet, and what I think might be a 20# C02 tank. She wants it out of her basement so it's free. But is it going to be safe to transport it 1000 miles on it's side or do I need to buy and install a light kit for my...

Chimay (Peres Trappistes) Blue cap Trappist Ale 9% alc Haven't tried it yet. $20.00 for a 4 pack Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA I loved it! Not nearly as bitter as I was expecting. $8.50 for a 6 Pack Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale So mild and smooth, fruity plumb esters. I really liked it...

I'm using safale s-04 in a brown ale ferm temp is around 68-71. No activity for almost a week. Can I pitch another packet in the primary?

Should I go ahead and bottle, fermentation went VERY rapidly for 2 days and then stopped, no activity, steady gravity reading for the past 4 days. I'd like to leave it in primary for another week or two at least but I'm afraid my yeasties weren't very spry since the grav is so high, but then...

HOLY SHNIKE! It's everything I hoped it would be and it's not even done conditioning!!! Carbed nicely, beautiful color, a little too much :ban: esters but a great Hefe! :rockin: I'm so freakin pumped! I can't imagine how much better this is gonna taste in 3 weeks! How does anybody drink BMC...

Brewing a Hefe, OG was 1.032 right now it's 1.020 But it tastes a little sweet in my opinion. How long can/should I leave a Hefe in primary? It's been a week since pitching yeast (WYEAST 3056 Bavarian wheat blend) Still a small amount of c02 being generated I can tell by looking through the...

I just realized that my kit says you need to break the liquid packet's internal chamber to mix the yeast with the nutrient solution a day before you brew, should I just go ahead and add the packet or leave my wert in the primary with the airlock on to give the yeast a day or two so it can...

The extra fridge went out and we don't have room in the fridge in the kitchen for a 5 gal batch. After fermentation can I just bottle and keep the bottles in a closet? 70 deg normally. Or would that be asking for exploding bottles and/or skunky beer?

My wife is getting me a NG burner for christmas so I can just run some pipe from our house to behind the garage. Anyways I've found this burner which seems nice but I'm kinda shooting in the dark. Tried a couple searches on the board but couldn't find anything really... So any suggestions on...

My dad used to brew but stopped years ago and is giving me his equipment, glass carboy, siphon tubes, bottling wand, airlock, hydrometer. The only thing I can see I'm missing are the ingredients. I think I'm going to want to go with an easy recipe for the first few tries... (malt extract) but if...
