I am buying a 100 quart kettle to do double batch BIAB: http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/update-international/sps-100/p5180.aspx. I am thinking about getting the sightglass/thermo combo but I want my sightglass to be as low on the pot as possible. My question is if I get the combo will the...

Hi I'm looking for a 25 gallon kettle preferably. I don't care if it's used. Would like a ball valve and sight glass. Let me know if you have anything to offer I wanna move to big ol' all grain batches.

Please read this thread if you have experience with both kinds of brewpots. I have read and researched everything there is to know about these two kinds of pots. I have a specific question to ask anyone who has used both. 1) In theory aluminum is supposed to heat quicker and more evenly than...

If you feel like trouble shooting my sour taste check out this thread I haven't gotten any hits: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/interesting-fermentation-funky-smell-taste-365782/

I have an IPA that I want to add Mangoes to. I used US-05 and my OG was 1.076 and Final Gravity is 1.010. That is an attenuation of 87%. My question is can this ferment anymore? That attenuation is very high and I would think that the yeast don't have much if anything left in the tank. I am...

I have a verified bonafide infection of my Imperial Stout. It's in a secondary just sitting in the corner chillin. I was wondering if it would ever taste good. Will the sour flavors compliment at all after aging for a long time? I am just going to let it go and go and go in hopes that someday...

Hi I have 3 pin lock kegs that I don't need. I'm going to clean them up and replace all seals/gaskets. I can't find the lid for one of them but I'm going to try and locate. After I clean thoroughly and pressure test I would like to trade. Since my items will be in good condition (as perfect as a...

I have an infection in one of my batches: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/pics-ugh-infection-358081/. The only thing I can think is that my starter became infected while sitting in the fridge. What do you think, I didn't use it right away and it sat in the fridge covered with tin foil. There...

I am a nut about sanitation but it appears I might have an infection. I brewed this Imperial Stout from Northern Brewer (http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/imperial-stout-extract-kit.html) on 9-6-12. Starting gravity was 1.086 and it finished at 1.032. It sat in primary until 9-26 and I started...

Originally I bought 1/2" ID tubing but I ran an equation (found here: http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/07/18/getting-a-good-pour-kegged-beer-co2-line-length-and-pressure/) that said I would need 23 feet to serve my Bavarian Hefeweizen and I only bought 10 so I returned it and bought 3/16". Now...

I just put my Hefeweizen that has been in primary for 12 days into the keg and I am leaving it at room temperature (71.6 degrees) for a week. Then it goes into the fridge at maybe 40 degrees (or whatever you recommend). What pressure should I set it at so I can drink it for football next week...

So I did Northern Brewer's Partial Mash Kit for Imperial Stout using Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale. I made and stepped up a starter (twice) and should have had more than enough yeast to get through this bad boy. Well I started with an OG of 1.086 which was right on target for what the recipe...

I ordered some yeast that died I'm guessing due to heat in transit from Austin Homebrew supply. Took a week to get here. Made starters, absolutely no activity and the gravity hasn't changed since Friday. I'm going to try and find some locally to replace it. Here are the strains of yeast and the...

I have searched and I know there are lots of threads with similar topics but I need some advice anyways. It took my white labs yeast vials a week in transit from AHB. So it was more than likely exposed to high temperatures. I read somewhere that they can survive up to 120 degrees. I did not get...

I ordered a Guinness Extra Stout Partial Mash kit from AHB. I want to have it tasting good for St. Paddy's day. I generally don't like the stuff but know plenty who do so I'm brewing it. Hopefully I'll like my version better than the commercial one (I'm sure I will). Anyways I'm wondering if I...

I just finished brewing a partial mash Dead Ringer IPA kit. Wow is all I have to say. That was a hell of a lot of fun. It smelled so good it made my stomach growler. I got the itch now I'm gonna brew a Bavarian Hefeweizen kit I got. It went pretty well but my gravity was a little high so I had...

Can anyone tell me if my water is good for brewing? Please see this chart: http://www.mcwa.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=_g_unN41tVc%3D&tabid=103 Also I just bought some Reverse Osmosis water to fill up the remainder of my carboy after partial mash brewing. Should I use spring water instead...
