    Backsweeten after kegging and carbing??

    I kegged up my first cider last week and took a taste yesterday. I'd like to get a bit more sweetness in it and was considering backsweetening with concentrate. Is this something I can do after it has been carbed or did I miss my window? Thanks.

    Stuck Sparge

    I brewed up a Belgian White this last weekend and had real trouble with a stuck sparge. I knew things were not going as planned when during the mash I could not get good flow through my HERMS coil. I used: Belgian Pilsner as base, 3.00 lb White Wheat Malt, and 2.5 lb Flaked Wheat. I have...

    Chugger SS replacement Head Question

    I'm considering upgrading to the Chugger SS heads to replace the polysulfone heads from my March pumps. I have one regular March and one high flow March. I've looked around at different vendors who offer the replacement heads and see that some look to include the impeller and some don't (or...

I have a PICO style FB in my kettle MT that sits about 2 inches above the bottom. I have been batch sparging. I have a dip tube that gets all but about .25 gallons...

    Dark, Hoppy, and Low in Alcohol

    So my Brother-in-Law asked me for a commercial example of a beer that was dark, hoppy, and low in alcohol. This is not the type of beer I would normally seek out. I like dark, I like hoppy, and I like alcohol, just not all together. I'm sure I could homebrew an example that meets these criteria...

    Carbonating a lager

    After several years of brewing ales I decided to try a lager. My basement stays at pretty good ale temps depending on where I've put the carboy and have never given too much time or thought to exact fermentation temperatures and have had good results. I have a temperture controlled chest freezer...

    Keggle ID

    Thinking about picking up a few keggles to complete brewery expansion. What is the inner dimension of a keggle? I realize there might be no standard size, but just wanted to know what to expect. Thanks.

    Bayou Classic 62 Qt. False Bottom size?

    I got my hands on a 62 qt. kettle that I am interested in turing in to a mash tun. After measuring the inside diameter it looks to be about 15.5" ID. Doing some research it looks as if 15" is a standard for mashing in a keggle. Anyone have any experience mashing in the 62 qt? If so what size...
