Define pretty drinkable?

I'm sure you could use a freezer for a ferm chamber but I assume most people use their fridge because its a little easier to move around the carboys and I didn't have to buy a temp control device for my fridge I just adjusted it tell it was at the right temp. With a freezer you would either have...

This freezer is about 10 years old but is suppose to still work great its 8 Cubic feet. I can get it for $50. I want to make a keezer I am wondering if it is worth it to save money on this or if I should splurge and get a newer one...

The ranges are because they give the high and low for the month

or if you can direct me to a chart or something that could tell me what I look for in Tap Water for brewing

I had my city Send me a report on our water. I don't know which of the contaminants are important for home brew so I was hoping for a little help, it will save my 10 bucks every brew going and buying spring water. Chlorine is 200 units(not sure how its measured) is said legally it can have...

Ok first thing I need to purchase valves for my hlt and brew kettle that is part of it so if there are cheap options for that. I brew outside I have basic stuff chairs tables ladder i could rig something up temporarily. Guess for now I need the valves and possibly permanent thermometers for my...

I haven't posted in a while after 6 months off I brewed a few batches this weekend and have a couple more apfelwines going. I have been doing all grain and I have no stand I am lifting like crazy. I don't have much of a budget right now for a stand, Are there some cheap alternatives you can...

I don't think he's going to lower the price and I agree with most of you guys that 80-100 is more realistic, however because kegs are so hard to come buy I think i will do it as long as I can fix the top. How hard will it be to repair that cut? I'm assuming I just have to start all over

Yeah obviously the top doesn't look to nice I was going to try and clean that up.

I'm buying this Keggle for $120. Good deal or no? Keep in mind kegs are hard to come buy in Utah. They are illegal to buy unless you own a liquor license

Will it reach the bottom though?

Mnadamn do you have a picture of this?

Just a quick question I have 10 gallons of apfelwein that have been sitting in a sanke for a month I was going to transfer to a secondary for a while. Question is I know I can cut the bottom of the stem off to get it out but I really don't want to do that. What other options do I have? How can I...

If I can throw in my two cents I have tried force carbing and it works ok but the beer is still green. If you really want good beer just let it sit hooked up to co2 at normal serving pressure for a couple weeks and it will be delicious. You may have to dump a pint or two because of sediment but...

Not trying to hijack this thread. But I tried naturally carbing my last beer after a week hooked it up to the co2 left it a few days and its not good yet so I'm wondering can I take it back out and put it in the closet a few more weeks? Will it still carb up?

I'm making a blueberry hefey now. The only thing I recommend is using a lot of fruit. I am using frozen blueberries and designing great beers recommends up to two lbs of fruit per gallon of brew because blueberries have a mild flavor

You can prime a keg the same way you do when bottling. Just use about half the sugar you would use in bottling and put it in the keg before racking your beer on top. What I do from there is hook up the co2 in just because my keg won't seal unless I do that, then unhook the co2 line and Then I...

You can age a keg as well. You should leave your keg for two weeks anyway, at least, to carb up the right way and to not drink green beer. So that is usually when people start to crack open their bottles anyway. So if you are brewing a barleywine probably wouldn't work the best.

I think you should give it more time, 15 hours probably just isn't enough time trust the yeast and if you still have issues in 2-3 days then you can worry. However when you say they aren't doing anything, how do you know they aren't doing anything are you relying on the airlock?
