I know I filled this jug up to the top but I have been doing it that way for a while

Well this has only happened to me twice in over a year. But I think it has to do with my milk jug method as the blow off tube sucks the side of the jug. It was Ed Worts Hause pale ale. That was my last batch of the year as I'm out of supplies. I was constantly checking it too over the last 36...

F me! The damn blow off tube must have sucked to the side of the milk jug. I tried to position it so it wouldn't as it has happened to me before; but i didn't lose any beer but this batch is half gone .

My tubing is 3/8 as well

Done!! Off to the fermentation chamber

I love 1 gal brewing as its easy to keep an eye in things. I got a 6 & a 4 year old running around too lol. Apfelwein is in the glass; aged 11 months and its good!

Got a lot going on now!!! Steak is about to be cooked and my boil is getting there.

I had 5 gallons that I just bottled the other week that had been sitting in the primary since early FEB. AMAZING. I also have one wine bottle left that is about 13 months old that I'm saving for christmas. I brought some over to a couple who are wine drinkers and they both loved it. I think...

Damn first time ever in a year brewing I had my stopper/blow off tube pop off of my primary. Made a hell of a mess in my fridge fermentation chamber. It was only off for several hours so I Starsan sprayed the stopper and the mouth of the gallon jug and plugged it back up so I'm hoping that I...

Can anyone tell me if Centennial and Willamette work well together? Doing a 1 gallon batch and want to use some open hops. I also have Styrian G and Northern Brewer and Columbus open as well if those work better? Thanks. 2.4 lbsAmerican 2-row 0.35 lbs2-Row Caramel Malt 40L 0.2 lbsVienna Malt...
