I bottled for a long time. I finally made the jump to kegging. I brew 2.5g batches with the Torpedo kegs. My first two kegs were great with convenience. Not so great with foam head. With both: I sealed and filled with 30psi. I purged twice each. The last time I didn't purge. Then lowered to...

The skinny of this question is that I accidentally diluted my beer with approximately 16oz of starsan water. After the beer finished fermenting, in the process of moving my brew bucket to a higher spot for transfer to keg, I created a vacuum and got the starsan water sucked in. I only brew 2.5g...

I made a rookie mistake - again. I learned the hard way of getting sanitizer sucked into my fermenter many moons ago with temp changes. But this time was different - and probably much worse. I was lifting my SS brewbucket off the floor to put it onto the counter for transfer to my keg in a few...

Anyone have direct experience using the Spike Brewing CF5 for half batches? 2.5g or 3g batches? I only want to use it for this and am looking for real work experience. Specs say it can be used for 2.5g but is that just fluff? Please let me know. Considering as an option. I never win anything...

Looking for a Williams Warn BrewKeg 10. Willing to pay reasonable shipping to Northern California.

Anyone have a recipe or tips for producing a successful pressure-fermented Czech lager? Thanks!

Anyone have any good, recent 2.5g recipes they want to share? I'm considering my next brew. Thanks.

Does More Beer ever do flat coupons - like 20% off a single item?

Does anyone have real world experience with the Williams Warn brewkeg? The only YouTube videos are from the company. No online reviews I can find. I'm intrigued because I already brew half batches so the 10L version would give me a SS conical with a tub dump and a unitank capability. Other...

It almost seems too simple and easy. I make half batches. I over stress about mash and strike temps due to having a smaller kettle sitting on a big burner. Then I saw the Gigawort homebrew system on sale and was like: electric heating, timers, 4.4g capacity, barbed valve. It is too good to be...

Good news is that my new Anvil 5.5g kettle is flawless for 2.5g batches. Light to pick up and move around. Big enough to prevent a foam over. But ... way too small for standard 25' stainless steel wort chillers. I need a narrow chiller. Anyone make a custom SS wort chiller? Thanks.

Anyone interested in checking my recipe? 2.5g batch of Jubelale Clone. Previous clone recipes use whole hops, so I converted to pellet. And other recipes had dry hoping, which I don't have the ability to do at this time. Curiously, I'm surprised of the low mash water volume. But, please take...

Curious as my 2.5 gallon batch has slowed down considerably after day 2, do 2.5 gallon batches have a faster fermentation period? With less liquid and overall volume, does this speed up fermentation? Thanks.

My first AG back into brewing again was a Cold Smoke clone. But I missed my OG by a bit (1.051 versus 1.066). I used beersmith for the first time and my water additions were spot on. My mash temp was a little low (144 versus 150). Remind me what I did wrong on my OG. Was it my grain bill or...

I presently own the SS fermentation bucket that has a conical base but no trub dump. Does anyone know a product that exists that has a trub dump idea for 3 gallon batches? Thanks.

Hi, it's been a couple years since I've been a member of this site and brewed. I took a few years off. Half batches got me interested again. Keeping it small and simple. Does anyone know if a thread or subsite was created specific to smaller batches? Not BIAB, but recipes and advice on 2.5g or...

For the administrators: So i've decided to downsize to small batches upon my return to home brewing. I have been doing a lot of custom searches on the site to find info specific to small batches. Nothing out of the ordinary bc a lot of old info gets buried within threads. But I am wondering...

Does anyone know of online sellers that sell 2.5 gallon AG kits? Or are accommodating in splitting a 5g kit in half on their end? AHB doesn't appear that accommodating. Thanks.

So, I know stuff is out there on figuring out calculations for BIAB. But most have other factors that I don't have like false bottoms, etc. I returned to brewing after a 3-year hiatus. I've downsized from 5g to hopefully 2.5g. I invested in an Ss brew bucket mini and a 5.5g kettle. What...

I've decided to reenter the brewing hobby after 3 years away. In the process, I sold some of my bigger equipment and am really intrigued by small batch stuff. Thus far, I've ordered an Ss Mini Brew Bucket and an Anvil 5.5g kettle. Little stuff that doesn't take up much space. My questions...
