Brewed 10 gal of chinook ipa 3/24/12. Kegged 5 shortly after it finished and the other 5 has been sitting idle since today when I decided it was time to keg it. Pulled the lid off the fermenter and this is what it looked like. What would you do. Is it ok or apparently not?

So life interrupted. Went down into the basement today to find a siphoned Carboy from march 17th that I totally forgot about. My plan was to wash the yeast (wyeast 1056) and store but I forgot. It has been sitting at 66 degrees since then after it went through a three week fermentation on a...

Went to make a starter for my first lager attempt only to find I didn't have enough DME! Ending up milling some 2 row and doing mini BIAB. Mighty proud of myself for saving tomorrows brew day.

The day didn't start off right to begin with but some voodoo magic cursed my brew day. It pretty much unfolded in this order Stuck sparge. Boil over. Missed hop addition. Clogged plate chiller. Burnt out march pump. Exploding carboy. Burnt my arm. Lost all my wort down the floor drain. Pictures...

So I don't normally rack to secondary but I'm gonna dry hop this IPA recipe and decided yesterday to rack and wash yeast. I'm 8 days into fermentation. Checking on the brew today i find this. White spots floating. Yesterday's gravity check showed great progress and it's doing well so I know...

Not sure where I went wrong but I'm thinking I have about 6 gallons still boiling in what should be a five gallon batch. Keep boiling?

So I'm about to do my first AG batch and wanted to find my water loss to evaporation over a hour. I boiled 5 gallons and was left with 2.5. That seems like a huge loss. Is that normal?? I can remember reading about people losing a gallon or so but that seems pretty crazy.

So last week I had a double brew day doing a PSA IPA and a Belgian Tripel. Today i was supposed to dry hop the IPA and went to work racking to a secondary on top of my added 2oz of cascade. After reviewing my notes I realized I just dry hopped the wrong beer!!! I grabbed the wrong primary...

I couldn't find another thread like this but as a new top tier owner, I'm curious as to the various setups and mods people have done. I'm not even done putting mine together but will post a pic just to get things started. You can basically get the drift of my current setup. single burner with...

So after having a double brew day yesterday I came home to find my airlock filled with krausen and actively blowing off all over the place. This is the first time I've used a Carboy as a primary but wanting to watch the process thought this would be a good idea. I fashioned a blow off with 1/2...

Decided to make the leap to all grain and jumped right in by using my bonus from work and selling some guns to purchase a Top Tier setup. That was 3 weeks ago if not more and have yet to receive it. Got the 10 gallon boilermaker to go along with a new terminator, March pump, Blichmann burner and...

I've been watching some all grain YouTube videos lately and came across this being pronounced differently. So which is it?

Check out this tap box for mounting behind the wall. A buddy made this for me and he is also doing a 4 faucet mount backsplash with integrated drip tray out of stainless steel. I'm running my two 3" PVC lines for air cooling from the keezer to this box on the wall behind my bar.
