For me its been a transition from one step to the next. I started out strictly bottling as most of us have, then finally got one of those 1.5 gallon kegs + regulator + "borrowed" Co2 from work. Then I had a leak which emptied that tank and needed to refill it. Took it to have it refilled...

You should check the owners manual for the stove and then go from there. Also, realize that stove may struggle to get larger volumes up to a rolling boil.

Might as well keep this old thread going..... No I came across this while I was looking for others opinions and comments on BRY-97. I had been brewing my Blond ales and other small beers with US-05 and used BRY-97 for my IPA's but I am thinking of ditching the US-05 in favor of BRY-97 for...

2.5 gallons RIS = 6390.5

Like the "82" thing you have going on. My first IPA had a similar, close to "69" thing going on. Would be interested in seeing your recipe. I will share my single "69" if you share your double "82" :D For what its worth, out of the nearly dozen homebrews I have made and enjoyed, my IPA...

Just wanted to give an update. I went out of town for a few days and before doing so I put the 1.5 gallon keg, regulator, and CO2 tank in the fridge and dropped the pressure down to 10 psi. This was after sitting at about 53F for 4 days @ 20 psi. It sat in the fridge for another 4 days while I...

Perfect! Exactly what I want to do.

Hop bursting with whirlpool hops is definitely what I was planning for and I realized that any amount of any IBU hop added at 60 min was making it difficult to add the quantity of hops I wanted later in the boil while keeping my IBU's low enough. I will probably not dry hop this one. Just...

Thoughts? Just in general. Say your making a beer where you want to keep the IBU's low but want lots of hop flavor and aroma. Is this unheard of?

So I guess you would call this a "bump" since there were no replies. But also its an update. I kegged and bottled the aforementioned Lager Monday and prematurely sampled both bottled and kegged versions tonight. I started with the bottled version that was primed and had bottle conditioning...

When I first started brewing, not that long ago, I started out using Notty. It came with my first extract kit and I continued to use it when I switched to all-grain. Later, I started using other things including US-05. Out of the handful of the more popular dry yeast I have tried none of them...

I'm not to a point where I can offer any sound advice, but those that have the experience would benefit knowing some more details. Most importantly what the wort has experienced post boil in terms of time and temperature.

So I have posted this "pint" before, but I'm posting a pic of the same beer again because I learned something here. Although I have read many times over that you should store your beer in brown glass to keep the light out, or at the very least store it in the dark. I am the kind of person that...

I will give it one more shot with a different pic.

SMASH blonde ale 2.0 Apparently, adding pictures from my phone just isn't going to work.

Im a newb myself, but I'm thinking the pilsner is not really going to show up in this recipe.

After about 3 brews, with the screw on lid style, mine stopped sealing and I thought something was going wrong with my fermentation. Then, I soon realized fermentation was taking place and Co2 was escaping around the lid instead of going through the air lock. I tightened it real hard and...

I did use yeast, but not that strain. Did I just I go there? I shouldn't have. I apologize.
