Hey folks, I had to remove two kegs from the keezer today in order to use the keezer as a term chamber for a new batch. I know the kegs will be fine to be removed and then put back but I'm not sure what to expect when they get put back. One of the kegs is a black IPA that was carbed and dry...

Hey folks, First mead batch here. Started it Dec 31, 2011, OG 1.082. Lalvin EC-1118 yeast. We're looking to bottle it for Christmas gifts and I'm looking to make sure that there's nothing I'm missing before bottling. My last recorded SG per my brew book was a 1.022 in March of this...

Hey folks as I said above I'm planning my first all grain brew day (as many have before here I'm sure), and I'd love your input. I'm planning a one gallon batch (because I have other needs for my money now and I can use the equipment I have on hand). I have an unmodified 2 gallon cooler...

Hey folks, So I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in kegging/bottling, if its the wrong place feel free to move it. So I finally have my kegging setup up and running on a two tap Keezer with a stc-1000 (aquarium) temp controller. Unfortunately I have neither the money nor space for...

Hey folks, So I've FINALLY got my kegging setup and running, and I'm pouring foam. I'm not shocked or upset, but I obviously don't quite understand what I'm doing. Before I get to the questions here's the situation: -I've had the kegging equipment for a while, but due to life I only...

Hey folks, So I'm an apartment brewer, trying to go all grain for as cheap and dirty as I possibly can. My best bet at this point is BIAB in an 8 gallon bucket with a 1500W element. I'm not worried about the bucket, the reasearch I've done says that Food grade Polypropylene is fine to boil...

Hey folks, so here's the deal. Up until now I've been doing the coopers no boil kits while refining my process. I tweaked them a bit, and done things like add fruit, and play with the various amounts and types of fermentables and such. But now I want to do an IPA. Due to various reasons...

Hey folks. New to kegging here. I bought three ball lock kegs from my local pepsi distributor and in cleaning them up I noticed that they all had a little metal ring around the gas in post that said "Four imperial gallon gas tube". The gas in tubes are 2 and 3/8ths inches long from the top of...

Hey folks. Long story short I carbed a raspberry wheat into 500ml Grolsch bottles with around 5.8ozs (ballpark as my notebook isn't at hand at the moment) of dextrose per the calculator located here: TastyBrew.com | Homebrewing Calculators | Botting Priming Calculator Bottled Nov, 20th...

Hey guys quick question: I've had a Raspberry wheat in secondary for two weeks now and it's time to rack onto 6 pounds of frozen raspberries I bought. Should I thaw the raspberries first? Or dump the frozen raspberries into the carboy and rack onto them? IF understand correctly the...

Hey folks, You all have been SUPER helpful in the past and I'm probably concerned over nothing, but I figure I'll bring it to you the experienced brewers for thoughts. Here's the timeline of the beer: -My 3rd batch, first two went smoothly and exactly as expected despite a bit of...

I gotta brag a little, and thank all of you (especially Deathbrewer and Remmy) for all your informative posts around here. I've turned out two somewhat tasty batches (lets be honest, they were good but could be better) with all your guys' help. Remmy's post on infections specifically helped me...

Hey folks long time lurker, first time poster. You all have provided VERY helpful information, and now I need some if you don't mind. I just threw my third batch into primary about 34 hours ago. It was a coopers irish stout extract kit, done with a kg of light dry malt and 3/4 of a kg...
