Don't want to beat a dead horse here. But I have the same question but I haven't kegged anything yet. So just to verify. I have a one keg fridge right now. But I haven't finished the keg in it. I am ready to keg my IPA. Should I. 1) Put in keg and do nothing? 2) Put in keg, put some CO2...

I just tapped this keg and it is amazing. What an outstanding recipe. Everyone loves it. Even none beer drinkers. Awesome.

I am ready to keg my 2nd beer but I haven't finished my first in the kegerator. There is not room for a 2nd. What do I do about kegging the 2nd? Do I have to wait until I finish my first? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you,

I didn't want to have multiple threads but I have a few questions if y'all don't mind helping me out. 1) My first all grain batch, I was low on my original gravity compared to what the recipe said. My last batch, I was high. Original was suppose to be 1.041. I got 1.045 I took this...

Thanks Yooper. That really helped a lot.

Thanks Hunter. Now that I'm thinking about it. I was using "brewersfriend" app on my phone and I used whatever amount of water it told me to use. Well. Let's hope I don't have to dump my mash out on my next brew and maybe my efficiency will be better. Thanks again.

I left out that we did sparge. I sparged twice with about 170 deg water. Might be why I ended up with 7 gallons. The batch was suppose to be 5.5 gallons. 1) How much water should I have used for original mash? 2) How much water should I have used during sparging 3) My mash temperature...

Sorry - I am very new to this. What I am calling the "sparge" is the filter thing at the bottom of the mash tun. 1) How did you crush the grain? I put it in the machine at the home brew store. 2) Could you describe your mash process? Pre-heated the mash ton. Then put...

I just started brewing. Went all grain on my 2nd brew. I didn't know where to start or how to build a recipe so I decided to try and clone one of my local favorites. (Its in the secondary fermenter now) So I have no clue if it will be perfect. And I doubt it. But it did give me a good...

Hey guys. My buddy and I just started brewing. We did the extract thing on our first brew then decided to jump right in to the all grain. So we will built our mash tun cooler. Got all of our stuff and then ran into a problem. I'll explain what happened and hopefully you can tell me if that's...
