I'm currently using a Kegerator with Cornelius kegs, so all my kegs are kept cold from carbonation and onwards. I was wondering if there is any significant decrease in quality by changing over to a normal tap system where the kegs are stored normally (room temp) and it runs through a cooler...

Does it matter if I put Whirlfloc in my NEIPA that I'm trying to get haze?

So I've dry-hopped for seven days after my fermentation is done for a while now. However, I'd like a bit more aroma, so I purchased a set of these tea things and Im now putting some hops in the keg with the beer when I transfer (I still dryhop for seven days in the primary). Any similar...

I built a fermentation chamber with a fridge, unfortunately it seems my fridge is too small for the chamber and cannot keep out the heat enough. I have a brew day tomorrow and am looking at a fermentation temperature at 74 degrees. What will the effects be? Slight more ester and fruity taste...

All of the sudden my three handle kegerator feels like one of the handles are locked. It's not dried up beer or anything, took the handle apart, all is clean. Other handles work fine. What could it be?

i bought a refractometer, but it only has Brix. I bought some calibration fluid that says 35. But when applying it, what should I set the BRIX to?

Made a starter, it was working for 48 hours. Looked really good. Brew day got cancelled. Put it in the fridge for about two weeks. So far so good. Brewed today. Took out my starter and decanted it. My wort cooling process failed, so I have to wait till it cools naturally which won't be for...

So, after months of consideration, planning and shopping, I finally built my 200 liter (52 gallon) rig. I started by wanting to get 3x 200 liter kettles, however the supplier was running low, so I settled with a 150 liter (40 gallon) HLT. I then installed one 10kW round heating element from...

What are the impacts of adding water to dilute the wort pre-boil, mid-boil and post-boil? If there even is any?

I spent longer than expected cooling my starter, and consequently left my WLP001 packs out in room temperature for about 5 hours before pitching them. They had swollen up quite a bit, which made me think of smack packs. Other than that, should I be concerned?

I am using my screwdriver to turn my malt mill right now, but I'm wondering if there isn't a more automated way of doing this? It can be a bit tiresome for a nano-brewery with 85 pounds of malt at times. Any ideas, pics or experiences?

What would happen if I fermented my APA at around 60 Fahrenheit? I am using WLP001

Bought a large pack of servomyces in what looks like your average vacuum sealed coffee pack. How do I store this once I open it? Do I have to vacuumpack it every time or will some plastic container suffice?

So I recently forgot to use Whirlfloc and everyone told me to relax and to use gelatine. So my question is, why ever use whirlfloc?

I just messed up a pale ale brew by using beersmith for the first time. It said Batch Size, and obviously I thought it meant the total amount of water I'll be using in Mash+Sparge. However it most probably meant how much I expect to have when I am done with all my losses in mash+boil+transfer...

Is there anything to support the claim that leaving the lid on while achieving a boil (and thus minimizing boil time), and then of course remove it during boil, might lead to a poorer beer?

I bought this blichmann weldless ball valve: https://www.morebeer.com/products/blichmann-3-piece-ball-valve-12-npt.html and want to connect it to this dip tube: https://www.morebeer.com/products/anvil-stainless-steel-dip-tube-includes-nut-oring.html Problem is they are both female plugs. How...

Trying my first attempt at an own recipe. Im going for a fruity but bitter Pale Ale. What do you guys think of the combination of hops?

I’ve bought the 10kw rounded heater elements (https://store.brewpi.com/mashing/stainless-steel-heating-elements/round-heating-element-for-brewing-50cm-diameter-10000w) and a three phased Solid state relay...

I am making a 50 gallon batch, and beersmith tells me to make a 5 gallon starter. I was wondering if anything is standing in the way of me actually making the starter in the plastic fermenter, making it easier with potential krausen issues and I can easily shake it about without concern...
