i have only used it once and did not purge the ball with c02. how would i do that? take off ball lock fitting and just put hose into the ball and then quickly attach the ball back on fermenter?
I got one of the conical fermenters from fastferment just after the new year. I used it for one batch. I was hoping to get some feedback from some home brewers that also use this vessel.
I brewed a double IPA (1.08 OG) and it was basically fully fermented after 2 days which is great if you...
this kegerator already has the hole to run the gas line so that part is done, I just need to figure out what parts I need to get to convert to a double tap.
i have a small kegerator single tap right now. i keep the co2 tank inside the fridge and with a sixtel it takes all of the available space in there. I want to start having multiple batches going at one time, but i am curious how to store the kegs. If i were to force carbonate a corny keg for...
i don't think i can get in any colder, it is in my basement (coldest part of my house). i need to get more hops for dry hop, just not sure which hops to add and at what quantity. i am think the 1 oz of Amarillo, citra and Chinook.
I asked my local homebrew supply shop for an extract recipe for Sixpoint Resin. I am curious if I brewed this correctly. I have done about 10 batches so far but all have been kits with specific step by step instructions.

I have a similar situation going on right now, I made a clone of 90 min IPA, 2 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary, last 4 days in secondary were dry hopped. I am now over 3 weeks in bottling condition, beer taste and smells great but no carbonation. What I find weird is the sediment is...
I was thinking in the 500 range. I have seen some on Craigslist that look ok but I am just unsure if there is something I should be looking for as it relates to homebrews vs just buying a keg at the store. I can also be persuaded to spend a little more if there are benefits to doing so. I...
I want to start kegging beers instead of bottling them. Can someone suggest a reliable and relatively inexpensive kegerator? Is there anything that I need in a kegerator for home brewing vs just buying kegs from the store. Need some advice before spend big money on a unit or buy a crappy used...
i did not get a kit, i just asked the salesperson to give me ingredients that would get me close to a sierra nevada flavor. i just thought that the can extract said to add the can to the fermenter and not boil it along with DME. The can extract is mostly for bittering so i think that i should...
Just got back from homebrew store to get supplies for a sierra Nevada clone. This will be my 2nd batch I have done so I still have a lot of questions about the process.
The ingredients I was given were:
3lb can of muntons premium bitter kit
3lb plain amber spray malt extract
2 oz of...
