Hello, I am brewing the New England IPA 5 gallon extract kit from brewers best (attached). First time doing an “advanced “ brew. Step 3 calls for Steep the grains, however, it is different than what I am used to. Typically, I just steep grains for 20 minutes with 2.5 gallons of water. This...

Hello, I am brewing an American Amber Ale from a Brewer’s Best beer kit. The recipe calls for an original gravity of between 1.050 to 1.054. My reading, at 62 degrees, came to 1.044. Is there reason for concern I came that much under? What could I have done wrong? I did not spill any Malt...

Hello, It has been two weeks since I brewed my pacific coast IPA. The FG is pretty close (recipe says FG of 1.013. Last I checked, after 7 days fermenting, it was at 1.010). I usually keg at two weeks, however, I noticed the airlock is still bubbling at about 1 bubble every 10 seconds. Does that...

Hello, I recently brewed a Pacific Coast IPA (11 days ago). 4 days ago I dry hopped using a dry hop filter canister thing. I am wondering if I should cold crash or not? I don’t care if beer is crystal clear or not, but do like the added benefit of a cleaner beer (eliminating bunch of particles...

Hello, I was trying to downgrade my PSI, from 10 to 8 on my beer. I cranked the kegco knob all the way to the left and nothing happened. So I just shut off the valve, pull the pressure pin and that managed to bring the PSI needle back to 0. Now, I opened the valve again and I crank up the...

Hello, I am troubleshooting to know where my CO2 leak is, so I started with the CO2 can and regulator only. I connected the regulator to the CO2 and put on 10 PSI to see if it held the pressure. I saw it held it for about 20 minutes, so I just let it sit like that overnight. I woke up today and...

Hello, I brewed an amber ale 6 days ago. The airlock bubbling activity is now very low, I see a bubble come up on the airlock about every 6 seconds. Given the slowness of bubbling activity and that it has been 6 days since I brewed, is now a good time to take a final gravity reading? Would I...

Hello, I just brewed an amber ale about 4 days ago, which I have fermenting at 70 in a fermentation chamber. The fermentation is beginning to slow, so once done, the recipe says to condition the beer for another 7-10 days before kegging it. For the conditioning, should I just leave it at the...

Hello, I am force carbonating at 30 PSI. It has been two days and I want to bring it down to regular serving PSI, which I believe is around 8-10 PSI. My question: When bringing down the PSI from 30 to 10, do I first turn off the CO2 and lift the pressure release valve ring on the keg to...

Hello, I am a new homebrewer and was wondering if someone else was experiencing the same with the Inkbird ITC-308 as I do. I use a chest freezer as my fermentation chamber, plug it with an ITC-308 to control the temperature. I set my inkbird at 68 degrees and put the probe inside the freezer ...
