    Interested in brewing my 1st lager, but overwhelmed. Should I be?

    I'd like to try brewing a lager. I think I may have read a bit too much about it and now my head is spinning. I've only done a few all grain batches, all BIAB. Please help me weed out the unnecesary and add anything I may have missed. I plan on brewing a 2.5 gallon batch for the first...

    2.4 Volumes of CO2??

    Let me start by saying this is my first attempt at kegging. According to CO2 charts that I've seen, 2.4 volumes of CO2 is a typical carbonation level for an ale. I've had my keg at 40 degrees for 13 days at 12 PSI. Per the chart, that should be about 2.47 volumes of CO2. I've been trying a...

    Friend's birthday beer/party across town/first time kegging

    Long story short, I have a brown ale in primary for a buddy's 30th b-day party the first week of January. I now have the capability to keg, but haven't kegged yet. I need some help from you guys to set a timeline and get a process to get this beer kegged, carbed, and drinkable by the 7th of...

    Krausen in my air lock

    I brewed a 5 gallon batch on Wednesday. It's kind of a hodge podge of ingredients I had lying around. I pitched a pack of Wyeast Yorkshire Ale yeast. I'm using a 6.5 gallon glass carboy and a fermentation chamber for the first time on both accounts. My fermentation chamber is just big enough...

    Ordered my first kegging kit.

    I know I don't get on here much and I haven't built any relationships here so far, but I wanted to let you guys know that I bought my first kegging kit based on the search function and your input. It seems to have resparked my desire to brew. I'm definitely tired of bottling. We'll see how it...

    Wyeast activator didn't pop. What are my options?

    Until last night, I had never used liquid yeast. I brewed a three gallon batch of a Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale clone. I felt around on the package for the activator and gave it a smack. I felt around again and I could still feel the activator in there. I smacked it again and still felt...

    Bottling from a coors light home draft set-up

    I don't have any real kegging equipment, and bought this because it was only 13 dollars. It worked out really good for me, so much, that I plan on getting real kegging equipment soon. I took it to a party Saturday night and it was a hit. Sunday, I thought I would try to bottle the little bit...

    Yet another Coors Light Home Draft Thread

    My last batch didn't carb like I had wanted. It's got a bit of carbonation, but more like a british pub ale than what I was aiming for. I did the 3/4 cup priming sugar to 2 cups of water like I always have, but I had no luck this time around. Last week I picked up a home draft set-up, dumped...

    Whadaya think?

    My dad's a pastor, so I figure the "Son of a Preacherman" is a no brainer. Not quite sure why the font came out so fuzzy. What design software are you all using?

    Did I transfer to secondary too soon?

    Hi guys/gals, new guy here. I've been reading a lot lately about secondary fermentation, and transfering when the vigorous fermentation activity is complete. I brewed a maibock leaning towards Dead Guy last Saturday, and hit my target gravity exactly. I fermented for a week, and kept my eye...
