Just purchased a nitro tank etc and the adapter to fit a co2 regulator. Question is will this work for a dual regulator, I have a micromatic that the 2nd gauge is showing up to 3k psi....but I will be running 2 nitro lines off of it.
So I just kegged 2 batches brewed with the same harvested WLP005 yeast. Both have a bubble gum aroma which I've never had before. Is there any way to save these? I am thinking of letting the kegs sit at room temp for a couple of weeks to see if things can clear up. I fermented around 64 and...
I just poured a first pint of a new batch, and the initial smell is a little bit like cheese. After the head goes down the smell goes away and the beer tastes fine. Wtf? Disclosure I completely pitched enough healthy yeast, pure oxygen etc etc...
Will be in Chicago next month for work, plan on renting a car for a few days and am thinking of either heading east or west...thoughts? BTW have already been to 3F, Bells Founders etc
Will be driving through the midwest next week and will stop in Indy for lunch / beer. We will only have a couple of hours to stop, what are suggestions for the best brewery / brewpub to go to??
Is it just me or is this one less hoppy? My pale almost seems to have more aroma. Not a bad beer but not what I was expecting

So I just kegged among other beers an IPA, IIPA, and a Rye IIPA a week ago that I want to enter into the NHC. I was just going over the entry / judging dates and it is around the end of March or so which will put these beers just over 2 months in the kegs. I know they will still be somewhat...
Just a heads up Yakima Valley hops has 25% off of orders today (maybe until noon PST tomorrow) and 8oz of Centennial free with $75 or more.
5lbs of freshness headed my way :rockin:
I brewed an Imperial Pilsner back in January, did a d-rest for 3 days and let it lager for about 7 weeks. I racked to a keg about a week ago and just sampled it today and there is still some noticeable diacetyl in the.
I have searched and there seems to be different opinions if the lager...
I recently had a few beers at a local brewpub, and it seemed the beer was better than the beer which made me think of all the great food I've had over the years at bars/brewpubs.
What is your favorite bar food you've had???
Just had Pliny the Younger for the first time earlier today, a local spot tapped their keg. I have been unsuccessful for the past 2 years at trying this beer, and wow....worth the wait.
Awesome beer and very smooth for over 10%.
Hey all, quick question about the scale on refractometers. I am about to purchase one and after doing research have learned that by multiplying the brix scale by 4 you roughly get the SG. For example if you get a brix reading of 10, SG is roughly 1.040 and so on. But then why does the scale...
This is the second time I've used this strain and both times I've had problems. The first time was about a month ago and after 3-4 days fermentation stopped (took gravity readings to verify). I got that batch going after swirling the carboy and it finished up, but I'm afraid the final taste...
I've searched through many stuck fermentation threads and didn't find what I was looking for so that is why I am posting Stuck Fermentation thread #958494....
I have an Alt that is stuck at 1.030 after two weeks. I took off the blow off today to take a reading, and it was bubbling every 8...
Why are Nut Brown Ales labeled with the "Nut"??? I am formulating a recipe and researching this style and am wondering where the "Nut" comes from....is there a difference between a brown and a nut brown?
Cheers
