I am looking for some good beer and co2 lines that can be cleaned often. I have some older lines and when I keep the soaked for a while they melt? or they develop a thick white goo on them. I assume silicone lines dont do that, I need some recommendation and/or insight! Thanks!

I dont have chiller for my unitank, i think i can get by without one, however the issue I am facing is that when i transfer dry hopped beer the transfer is a headache, lots of clogging issues. I have no filter, well I got one that looks like this, below, but the issue is that is too big (14")...

I have two of these. On top of my conical. They behave really funny! I also a ball luck spunding valve I used for my kegs, ocassionally. THat's what I did to check the pressure reading on Blichmann pressure gauge. I am writing here to make sure I didn't do anything that made them not work as...

Hello, I decided to do a gose last week, my first one. So I brew 11 gals 50/50 wheat/pilsner barley. I chilled it 95, lowered the pH to 4.5, put in the fermenter and added 1/2 liter of goodbelly, orange. After few days the still stayed at 4.5 (original) and I kind off panicked a bit. I went...

Alright I got myself some conicals on blackfriday - It went with Spike, the unitank version. I brew last night I am slightly concerned about the pressure, I have a spunding valve ( went for blichmann's version, due to better price Spunding Valve) . Among the few things I noticed is that one...

Hello, Anyone can give me a hint where I canfind drip trays 24 to 28 at a decent price ?Amazon sells the 24" for $62. I think is a rip off... I can find a 19 for 22 but is 19... Drop a line if have any other routes.

Hello, Quick question I am not sure if I have a co2 leak or if the lack of head space did this. I've made a dubbel few months ago 11 galons of it and I didn't want to bottle it! So I primed it in the keg. I decided to tak one of the two corny kegs but to my surprise there was little...

Hi, I am in the process of making/building a keezer and I noticed that I would have some space in front of the refrigeration panel and that triggered the wildest thought. Install the CO2 tank horizontally! However I do not know the internal guts of a CO2 tank. Would it be an issue to use it...

I am thinking to skip bottling my belgians to save time. Usually do bottle them in 22 oz bottles with cork and net targetting 3.5 CO2 volume. So I am seriously thinking to keg prime and condition them on the cold side 50-55F for few months. Besides the obvious advantages of saving time what...

I couldn't find Epsom Salts at my brew shop but I did find some at Walgreens. It says is 100% Magnesium Sulfate. Anyone thinks that this is not suitable ? Well if is not, I'd have 2 lbs of high grade laxative! Hope TP is no longer a problem :)...

I always wanted to brew an ESB, anyone can share a solid recipe has been tried and works ? I have no restrictions on my system so technically anything could go!

This is the weirdest outcome in 65 batches... Wanted nothing but a session pale ale instead I got a weird beer without any aroma. Considering the 8 oz of hops this doesn't make any sense. Anyone wants to give a 2 or 3 cents? Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 12.42 gal...

I am trying to see what's the best way to get my beer out the tank. Briefly, I keg and when I dry hop i use a stainless still mesh cylinder to put my dryhops. Did this for a long time and all works great however I think in this particular keg the cap came out and the dry hope blocks the in...

I am planning to add some black currant puree to a NE IPA. The plan is to do 96 oz to 11 gallons batch in the secondary. If you have any experience with black currant I won't mind hearing about it. I am interested in quantities per gallon and a source where to buy it from.
