Does anyone know when the VIP tickets will go on sale for the Yakima Fresh Hop Festival in October? The website just says June 2016...

I bought a Mash Tun/Converted Keg from a guy, after I got it home and started cleaning it up, I realized there are some rust spots on the home-made mesh screen. I am told this is a product of poor MIG welding skills... Is there anything I can coat the area in to protect my wort from the rust, I...

I hope its not a sanitation issue... I am pretty thorough. I knew (for the most part) it was an infection, no yeast should ever intentionally taste like that. I assumed it had to have happened post boil and pre yeast pitching. I used US-05 -- (59-71.6°F). It all makes sense now, I never...

I had an IPA turn really sour on me a few weeks ago and it just dawned on me, I had been letting it ferment in my dark basement closet. What I didnt consider until recently... the basement is consistently in the mid to high 50s. Could the sour taste be a result of temperatures to low for the...

I actually didnt taste until after kegging, now i know better. I guess i have to dump it, sad sad day. My guess is it occured during cooling, since i did not use a secondary, or maybe my cracking racking cane.

I use filtered Seattle tap water. I have not added anything to my water as I have been told seattle's water is quite nice.

So I prepared a fairly generic all-grain IPA. After 3 weeks in the primary I racked the beer to my keg. After another week of carbonating I decided to give it a taste, because I am impatient. It tastes as tho I am sucking on a Sour Patch Kid while drinking a beer. This was very much...

I have a chance to sell and upgrade my wort chiller. I currently use a 50' copper immersion chiller for my 5-10 gallon batches. Is a counterflow chiller the obvious upgrade? I assume with my pump already available this would facilitate whirlpooling. My concern is sanitation. Are they easy...

Sweet, thanks all, the video sold me but the validation is much appreciated!

The listing's title reads "Beer Cooler Food Grade HDPE 2". It appears to be a poor man's Big Mouth Bubbler, on crack. Is there any reason I cant just drill a hole in the lid, throw a grommet in said hole, and insert my airlock. Would this not result in a stackable, 13 gallon, easy to...

In !!

Should I carbonate in my kegerator or keep it at room temp until the day of the wedding? (I am Wondering if I need to keep it cold in the roughly 24 hours it will be in between my kegerator and an ice bath at the wedding venue.).

I am pouring all my own beer for our wedding in a few weeks. I am about to move the beer to the corny kegs. Can I transport full and carbonated corny keg without hurting the beer? or would it be best to just bottle all the beer and store it in coolers.

When you (applies to all) use a 5 gallon carboy do you usually leave a gallon of headspace? Or are the 5 gallon carboys typically larger than 5 gallons?

Would the Krausen not just flow out the blowoff tube?

Is there any reason I cant start using my corny kegs as a primary fermenter? I have about 7 glass carboys... hard to store, hard to clean. It seems to me the used corny kegs I find for around $50 are about what I would spend on a big mouth bubbler. My thought being they are similarly easy...

Thanks that is what I needed to know.

My target OG was 1.070 and I ended up at 1.075. I should have checked that number last night as well... Add water? If so how much?

I am looking at my 10 gallon batch of pliney extract clone and realizing I only have about 9 gallons in the fermenters. I think I miscalculated the hop absorption. I added the yeast and its been sitting in the fermenters for 16 hrs or so now. Can I still add some filtered water without...
