    First time trader shipping question

    I have tried looking around, but haven't seen anything said about what kind of shipping. Is it just standard or next day?

    Stuck Fermentation...yes really

    So I have tried almost everything. I made an all grain IPA. Mash @154 degrees. use yeast nutrient and boiled the wort chiller @ 15 mins. About a six gallon batch. Just grain. No other fermentables. And 7oz of hops. Thought I knew what I did wrong, I didn't think I aerated enough, but now I'm...

    Chest freezer vs refrigerator?

    I see every one talking about chest freezers and keezers...why not just convert a fridge? No temp regulator needed. I may be missing something, so I am looking for info before I make a purchase.

    How much head should a barleywine have?

    I have a barleywine that I am considering adding champagne yeast to. It does have carbonation, but no head really, just kind of forms and maintains at the edge of the glass. Should I add the champagne yeast or is little to no head typical of the style?

May have fermented a bit warm. 70-72. But would expect if it was acetaldehyde that would have mellowed by now...thoughts?

    Using the yeast cake after dry hoping/ move to secondary?

    Doing a biggerish APA, want to use some of the yeast cake from my smaller IPA. So I checked out Mr. Malty. It suggested about half a cup for 1.070 OG. I'll do a quick and dirty wash to rinse away most of the dry hop debris, so I think I'm good there and then pitch it into the cooled wort of the...

    Plated nickel bulkhead? Health risks?

    I'm using a bulk head that would be used for hotwater for a washing machine as a bulkhead in my cooler. It worked pretty well, maybe the flow was a bit slower than I would have liked, but thar's fine. I know plated nickel can be pretty nasty, but don't think I would need to worry about it at...
