Hi everyone. Kind of a random question here. I carbonate my beer at around 30 psi for a few days and then reduce the pressure to serving pressure, usually around 12 psi. What I’m not quite sure of is whether I should be purging the keg when I reduce the pressure. My common sense is telling me...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to pick the brains of this community to see if I can figure why I can’t seem to get any of my beers to go below 1.020 FG. This has been an ongoing issue for months now. Many different styles. I hit my OG without issue. But fermentation always stops at 1.020. Some...

Hi all. I’m hoping someone can recommend a good recipe for a beer that would suit the cooling fall weather. Pale Ale or IPA are both fine. I do BIAB and keg in to cornies, so most recipes I do are 5-6 gallon. But I have BeerSmith so can convert any volume of what you have is more or less. I’m...

Hi all, I brewed a low IBU NEIPA today. The only hop addition during the boil was at 5 mins. It then called for a 15 minute whirlpool addition @ 170 degrees. There is no guidance on whether to remove the 5 min addition during cooling or leave it. Questions: In recipes that call for the beer...

Hi all! I use the BIAB method to brew 3 gallon batches (so not full 5/6 gallon batches. My setup isn’t scaled up to that yet). I typically use liquid yeast. I’ve heard a couple opinions on how much of the liquid yeast pack to use: 1. Use the whole pack. It’s pretty much impossible to over-pitch...

Hi All, I’m wondering if anyone may be able to shed some light on a sulphur issue I’m having. I’ve been brewing BIAB for about 3 years with no sulphur issues. The last 2 batches I’ve made have smelled and tasted great going in to the bottles. But they have both developed a sulphur smell. The...

Hi All. I brew 3 gallon batching using the BIAB method. I use Beersmith to scale down recipes to 3 gallons. When I do this, Beersmith gives me the following for volume: Batch Size: 3.00 gal Boil Size: 3.69 gal End of Boil Vol: 3.39 gal Final Bottling Vol: 2.70 gal My question is, how many...
