    Kolsch Extract Fermentation Question

    I have had my Kolsch in the primary for 2 weeks now at 68 degrees. I am using the Kolsch yeast. Should I just leave it in the primary at 68 or should I move it to my Keezer which is set to 40 degrees? I am new to brewing yet and not real familiar with Kolsch

    All grain mash issue

    Just figured out my temp readings have been off by about 10 degrees so I was mashing lower that I thought. I was at like 140 rather than 154. It has been about an hour. What should I do?

    Just Finished First All-Grain

    I was aiming for a mash temp of 150 and was at 148. I added more hot water but never got it above 148. I mashed for 75 min. I then drained and added 177 degree sparge water and it only raised temp to 159. I drained and put in another round of sparge at 190 degrees this brought the temp up to...

    Hydrometer sticks to sides

    I kept having an issue with my hydrometer sticking to the side of the tube. I have now drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the lid of my tube so the hydrometer can float through that and keep it from sticking to the sides. Any issues with doing this?:tank:

    Adding Extra LME?

    What effects would adding an extra 1.2 lbs of LME extract have on the overall flavor of the beer? I scaled a recipe to 4 gallons yesterday so I have an extra 1.2lbs of lme and wondering if I should just throw it into the batch I am making today. Looking in beersmith it seems it would increase...

    Kegging Question

    If I am going to keg a batch how do I do it? Do I just siphon it from the fermentor into the keg? Do I add priming sugar at all and then does the keg need to be refrigerated? Sorry for the simple questions but trying to figure out the difference between bottling and kegging and what I need...

    Expanding Brewing Operation Questions

    I have started extract brewing and am enjoying myself so far even though nothing is completed yet. I was wondering when I expand if it is better to move to all grain first and then kegging or the other way around? I also used to have a kegerator that used standard kegs so what pieces would I...
