    FERMENTATION HELP

    So after a few days, the beer has seen progress, going from 1.042 down to 1.032. The bubbling had been quite steady, but has seems to come to a halt at this point. I'll test again in a couple days to reassess and confirm that it is not moving. Its a sorgum based IPA, with an OG of 1.069. I had...

    Kegging / Conditioning question

    Greetings, So my journey is near completion to my first time kegging beer! Thanks to those of you who have helped with fermentation troubles along the way. My question today revolves around conditioning of the beer. Typically when I would bottle, I would do two weeks for the sugar priming, and...

    FERMENTATION HELP

    thank you guys for the great advice. I moved the buckets off of the floor ( onto the kitchen table in the basement ), raised the temp, and added yeast nutrient. Shes bubbling pretty good this morning!!!

    FERMENTATION HELP

    thanks for the replies. Yea, I figured temperature might have had a play in it. What I didn't understand is why one beer is almost complete, while the other is stalled out. They are using different yeasts though, which may have something to do with that.

    FERMENTATION HELP

    Greetings, To start with, I have two batches fermenting, one a 6 Gallon coffee porter and one a 5 gallon gluten free sorgum based IPA. Starting gravities were 1.063 and 1.069, respectively. Both beers have been in the same environment, in the basement. Temperature fluctuates between 59-68...

    Carbination

    When I bottle, I've always done two weeks for carbonation, and then two weeks for conditioning. The beers were usually always carbed by the end of the first two week cycle, but the additional two weeks typically refined the flavor and carbonation just a bit more. I also usually stored them in...

    First time kegerator setup question

    Thanks for the response. So, should I be all set then? Im trying to grasp the chart but not entirely getting it. It started at room temp just under 1000 ( about mid way in the green pie ), and after being in the keezer and cooling its right at the start of the green pie, alittle above 500

    First time kegerator setup question

    Hi, So I'm test firing my kegerator before the brew is done to make sure all my ducks are in a row. I have two 5 gal kegs filled with sanitizer, to double as line cleaning. I'm using a 5lb CO2 canister, which is also located inside the keezer. I made all the connections, tested the connectors...

    Chocolate/Coffee Porter (Extract)

    Hey sorry to revive an old thread, but I have a question. I'm not use to the application you used listing the ingredients. I understand most of it, other than the batch size. I see it says 6 gal batch, 2 gal pre-boil ( which I'm assuming is the extracts ). Does this mean I'm using 4 gallons of...

    Will this be a problem? 650SS Question

    I definitely believe the issue is the Shank isn't seating far enough into the tap, given the flow control valve is somewhat in the way. Ive added images with the valve at what I'd assume is normal, then fully open. The valve protrudes from the tap quite a bit. Again, I haven't had a chance to...

    Will this be a problem? 650SS Question

    I saw it mentioned in a perlicks 650 thread, but I did not see any responses as to if it is a physical issue or just cosmetic. Thanks for the input.

    Will this be a problem? 650SS Question

    Hi, I received my shanks today and threaded on a tap to see how it fit. I noticed 2-3 threads of the Perlicks still exposed. Anyone know if this is going to cause an issue? I have not begun building my Keezer yet, still ordering the parts, and it will be some time after that till i have beer...

    Anyone try out the new Perlick 650SS Stainless Flow Control?

    Anyone here running the 650's with ultra barrier silver liquid line? If so, what length are you using? Wondering if I could run shorter lines since they have the flow control. Was going to do 12ft lines but wouldnt mind cutting that in half

    Accuflex Bev-Seal Ultra - length of line?

    Is there a difference between the standard Barrier Ultra and the Silver models of line? I noticed the silver stated PVC free, and couldnt find that statement on the Ultra descriptions

    Forum question

    So first, thanks to the help of many of you on here, my parts for my first Keezer have either arrived or are almost here. Many of you supplied me with links of great deals, and the savings probably ran anywhere from 100-200 off of the end price. This leads me to my question. I didn't see a...

    Ball Lock Keg Needed

    I searched for some time for used ball locks. The few i found locally wanted 60 a piece. Online offers ranged from 45-55, but required 10-15 bucks to ship. I just got two new kegs from AIH, plus an assortment of equipment ( about 400.00 total ). Shipping was under 20 bucks. You could probably...
