Anyone know a place that does free shipping? Delta brewing used to... but finally stopped. I thought ity was crazy they would ship 200lbs of grain for free. Now it's a 2.5 hour drive to buy "local"

I messed up and filled the wrong keg. The keg i filled was sprayed out with water. I smelled it (empty) and it smelled hoppy (from the last batch). It had been sitting probably 4 weeks empty. I filled with star san and purged it before kegging. I know star san isn't a cleaner...... anyways i...

I read a lot of people transfer their beer to a new keg to rid of sediment. Is this a must? I cold crash my IPAs and my closed transfer are pretty clean (from the fermenter).

Hi. I brewed a Helles a few weeks back for my 80yo Dad. He loves the previous batches. I was aiming for 1.049 OG but ended up 1.061 Looking like 1.011 FG Any ideas on diluting it? Or should i just tell him to add a little water to the glass before pouring from the keg 😆 (kind of serious) I...

So I ran out of gypsum during my brew day. Only got about 3 grams worth and was supposed to add around 20 grams total (beersmith hoppy profile) (11 gallon batch). I just ordered some. Is there any benefit adding it after fermentation? I plan on dry hopping in a few days when i soft crash...

For some reason i thought i had a few packs of 34/70 in my fridge. My dumb ass just brewed a 6 gallon Marzen for October. Anyways i was freaking out but remembered i brewed a Helles 2.5 weeks ago using 34/70. So i plan on kegging the Helles in a few hours and use whatever slurry is at the...

Pitched one pack (rehydrated) into 1.089 wort (x2IPA) 2 hours ago and it's already partying. Long gone are the days of shipping liquid yeast. Worrying about health. Making a starter. Temperature control..... have fun with that :) I probably could have pitched half this pack. $3 bucks...

So my NEIPA was dry hopped mid-late fermentation. And VOSS works really fast. Been dry hopped about 48 hours at 85F. When is best to soft crash down to say 55F?? Also do i gradually drop it to 55F or just set the temp and let it crash? A little worried about diacetyl and my taste buds aren't...

Friend wants a juicy IPA keg for a party next month. 6.5 gal batch Any experience with that combo? I have about 8oz of each I also have a few OZ of El D and Idaho 7. Just some Pilsner and Oats

I normally swap tanks at a legit gas service..... but, recently my friend had 2 tanks "filled" from what he said was a craft beer shop. Turns out it was some "Latin" market. I used this "gas" to carb up 3 different IPA batchs (3 5 gal kegs) and all 3 turned out crap. No aroma 8 days after dry...

I just wanted to get some advice before I do this. I'm sure it's fine Would 2 packs handle an 11 gal 1.070 IPA pretty well? Rehydrated I know under pitching is kind of a good thing for IPA citrus flavor.

I searched for threads on McKenzie hops and got nothing. Even reddit..... Has anyone ever brewed with these hops? I got 8oz because they sound really interesting..... Thinking IPA and maybe a smash since i can't find much about other experiences...

Got a pack from Omega that is 6 weeks old (manufacturer date aug 30) been in the fridge. I know under pitching is kinda preferred. Just wondering if i should worry about making a starter for a 1.065 beer (5 gal)? My flask is being used so i can't really make a starter anyway. Thinking just...

I am not too experienced on reusing yeast. Yesterday, I kegged a hazy IPA (closed transfer) from a fermzilla conical. I left the yeast on the bottom of the empty firmzilla with a 1 inch layer of beer on top (hope that makes sense). No oxygen entered and should be all CO2 inside. Still a...

I have a beer gun and i "purge" w Co2 for like 5 seconds w regulator level around 15psi (shooting out) each bottle then fill and cap on foam immediately applying pressure on the cap/capper. I think i do a pretty good job. But after 2 weeks there always seems to be a degrade of 30% (maybe...

So ordering from Austin HB, they did not have any options for adding insulation or ice (i think they used to).... Always see that on other websites. Anyways I emailed them asking if they provided them... see attached. Not disagreeing. I wanted to get other thoughts on this.

Trying to brew Ocktoberfest (mashing now)... So i screwed up and ordered Hallertauer MAGNUM instead of just Hallertau One is low alpha (around 4%) and the one i ordered is 16% I don't have regular Hallertau that's supposed to be 4% alpha acid. Only the magnumn.at 16% So should i use less...

I am doing a 10 gal batch. I only have 2 oz of Hallertauer hops. Would using magnum be ok for bittering? I also have sazz but maybe too peppery? And i have northern brewer... uggh

I was just thinking about it. I doubt they do a star san purge like us homebrewers... maybe they do? I've seen videos of cleaning them but nothing on the oxygen issue. They have to do something, right? Shelf life of a NEIPA is terrible.

The closest shop in my area is an hour+ both ways. And their 2row is like $20 more than lable peelers/ morebeer. With gas being expensive and time/traveling 2 hours. It makes sense to pay for shipping. Need like 4 sacks of 2row/Pilsen. Do you guys know a closer online shop to Florida? It's...
