Just got my mango pulp from Amazon and am noticing now that they sell both sweetened and unsweetened versions of the pulp, I ordered the sweetened, is that what everyone is using or should I adjust my sugar based on how much has been added to the pulp?

I just tried to make a 2.5G batch of hard seltzer using water, vodka and Torani sugar free Mango syrup, been 5 days at 30psi and just doesn’t seem to be carbonating properly, should the flavoring be added after carbing? Do flavored syrups affect carbonation where the extract flavoring does not?

This is two separate mini fridges sitting side by side. I moved the door handle on one so they open with both handles in the middle. Not sure the model # but they still sell a very similiar model at Home depot. Looks to still accept the same controller mod however I am not 100% sure.

With one of these,

Dry Hop Filter

Long time brewer and just whipped a batch of this, first foray into wine and the wife is excited. Made 2.5 gals in my 3 gal better bottle and squeezed into my standup freezer ferm chamber with a couple batches of beer being stored at 65, been bubbling away pretty slowly for the last 3x days but...

I recently moved and decided I would leave all of my hops in the garage freezer for transport and simply plug in the freezer once it arrived at the new house, at most the freezer would be off for an hour or two. Well, I forgot to plug the freezer in upon arrival...... for two days! I have...

I use this in my 21cu freezer/ferm chamber. Maybe a little overkill but easily maintains temps here in Southern Ca. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FRFFC4W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

I ended up just removing the stock controller and replaced with an stc controller, been working great! Fits in the exact same opening and was really easy!

I would spray the airlock with starsan, especially the part where the airlock meets your carboy. I would not want that liquid to drip into the fermenter so I would wipe away as much excess liquid as I could and spray with starsan again. Remove the Bung/airlock and clean/sanitize then replace...

That sounds interesting but am thinking what I have used to filter the hops should be similar results and yes the bazooka screen isn't gonna be fine enough and I tried the mesh bag in the keg and with pellet hops, wasn't happy with the results, fine for whole hops. I used this filter and have...

Good info, thx for the link. I have a second keg of this same batch and will try more hops (once I see how much the 2oz expanded in the current dry hopper), hopefully 4oz will work and maybe give it some gentle agitation before pouring. I guess the hop flavors could be stuck close to the...

Yes this is what I had read as well, so was pleasantly surprised that after only one day of keg hopping, the hop flavor was so apparent.

I dry hopped my latest batch of Zombie Dust Clone in the keg using one of Arbor Fabs 300 micron keg hopping filters. After 24 hours the flavor was absolutely amazing, very similar to a Sculpin IPA. Then another day later, that amazing flavor almost completely dissipated. I would love to find...

I hate the blowing air sound my kegerator makes when a keg is kicked!!
