I just broke down and bought a chest freezer and temp controller mostly going to do ales I know I want to hit a wort temp of about 69 degrees but what temp should the temp controller be set to? I am guessing about 60.

I like ipa's so I am trying to learn about hops. There are three main descriptions one I can figure out. Citrus is going to be citrus tasting. The ones that arn't as clear to me are floral and spicey. I have never eaten a flower so what are some beers that I can buy that would be floral? Spicey...

Just finished my keezer. I have seen kits for cleaning lines but what I was planning on doing was using one step in the keg 3 gallons of water and three table spoons. Setting it upright for 5 mins flipping it for 5 more. Hooking it up to the lines and filling them letting it sit for 5 more mins...

Usually wait a week to bottled and 3 weeks in the bottle.

Well a year ago I started to drink a ton of craft brews so I would think these would be closer to what I am trying to brew. So I don't think it's that I am just getting used to home brews. Ok so I drink a Rockey mountain IPA. Then I look for a recipe to make it. I make mine and it's missing the...

What does green beer taste like? What would a yeast flavor taste like? What does a beer that was bottled before it was done fermenting taste like? What does infected beer taste like? All my beer seems to taste the same but I don't know what is going wrong. It's not bad but the finished product...

Has anyone ever fermented table sugar with bread yeast? Not for beer but for hunch punch.

Hold up last time I tried fruit I add it in the boil at 15 mins. to go instead of hopping and my 2 gallon experiment disappeared faster than any other beer I have made.

My plan would be to carb the beer outside of my kegerator at room temp with corn suger just like I would when bottleing. Then put it in the kegerator when I run out of one of the other kegs. Keep maybe 3 in three out.

Can I put my beer in a corny keg add dextrose and natural carb in the kev then just use co2 for surving?

It's cheaper just to buy that crap. You know what you like but don't try and brew it.

I work at a place that sells both I like the danby. Just bought a 7 cu foot chest freezer for 180 and a $10 mail in rebate. Would hold one fullsize keg and co2. Also give you extra counter space. It looks like my conversion will end up costing me 500. I am doing a 3 tap you do a single out the...

I would say that if the beer is already carbed and they put it in the growler no pressure was created no explosion , but you put uncarbed beer and allow it to carb lots of pressure would build up causing. The explosion.

If you are upgrading soon get the fountain that you are going to install on the upgrade and use it on the old one till then.

I will be honest with you wouldn't use a freezer from 88 no mater if it was free unless someone. Pays you utility bills for you because most of the old ones cost up to $100 a year to run. Buy a new budget freezer for 170 it cost $26 a year. Mine is 7 cubic feet.
