My fermentation fridge (Full top freezer/bottom fridge) gave up this summer. Got it for free 10+ years ago and got good use out of it. Anyone know of any wine/beverage fridges that would work? I just use my SS brew tech 7 gallon bucket. Would like to use something more compact now for space...
I have an ebiab single vessel system. Brewed an IPA and decided to use my grain basket as a hop filter for the whirlpool hops. I added the basket with 5 minutes left to sanitize. Once temp got to 180 threw about 3.5 oz of hops. Decided it was a good idea to keep the element on to keep the temp...
I brew one single vessel with pump and a basket. I love the ease of brewing this way but seems clean up is way longer than cooler and kettle brewing I used to use.. Any one else? Just checking if there are any other methods to shorten clean up. Seems like clean up takes the same time as...
So I did this recipe and per recommendation of Boulevard posted in prior responses used Ardens yeast. Wyeast 3522. This is the yeast to use in my opinion. This is my 2nd try and it is 90% tank 7. I think I just need to increase the late hops/dry hops a bit more...Prior I used 3711 french and...
Can someone convert this hopping schedule to oz or grams and times for the 70 min boil for a 5 gallon batch? Thanks
Hops
Magnum - 6 IBU at 98 C
Simcoe - 5 IBU at 15
After beginning of boil Amarillo - 15.7 IBU at 5
Before end of boil Amarillo - 10.7 IBU in the whirlpool
I need to rebuild my regulators. They have about 5 years on them. I have bad co2 creep problem. Bought a rebuild kit. I'm having hard time trying to separate the plastic from the metal. Any tips or instructions out there on how to rebuild? They are chudnow brand from keg connection...

thanks for the responses. I'll give it another week in the fermentor and keg next week. I thought lactose would add points but didn't know how much. The sample tasted good. Another week shouldn't hurt.
As always HBT rocks!
I brewed the NB sweet stout on 12/4 was going to keg on 12/26 but gravity reading was 1.030 so I stirred the yeast up and let it go another week. I understand that ESB ale yeast likes to quit early. Today I am ready to keg again but gravity reading was 1.022. Again I stir up the yeast to get...
