Yo HBT! You guys have always been so awesome at answering my questions that I thought I'd just drop some questions I had about my keezer build in here! Basically I have the freezer (plenty large enough, just forgot the dimensions) four total kegs (for now) two 5lb CO2 tanks and a temp...

Hello once again, sorry to bother all ye sages of HBT. Anyways, on to my predicament! I am VERY new to kegging, and to keep this short and sweet I'll just dive right in. I have beer in my keg - finally. I am confused about what I do next. I have had the keg (with beer in iit) in my...

Yeah, so basically I found a kegerator on a Facebook marketplace for $150, went and picked it up without hesitation. It's a kenmore fridge, had a coors tap handle on it (no idea if that matters). I am going to attach all the pics of it I can, and really want to clean it THOROUGHLY, this will be...

Hi! Been a while since I posted, brewing has been going good. My current predicament is that I have a 5 gallon batch of a brown ale ready to bottle and I'm very under prepared. I have plenty of bottles and about 50 soaking in an oxiclean free solution to clean em good and remove labels. My...

Hello again HBT, I was planning on re-pitching on top of this yeast I brewed a stout with (WYEAST American Ale) and have run out of funds for hops/grains. If I sterilize and refrigerate, how long can I wait by saving the yeast and pitch it again? Thanks! -Zach

I brewed a stout and want to add a vanilla extract to it at bottling (since it has already aged about 1.5 weeks). So how much should I add? I don't want it too powerful, just noticeable. Thanks! -Zach

I feel like I'm blowing this thread up, but damn if it isn't super helpful. I've made 3 batches in the past, and drank most all of them with no problems. Here lately every time I open one they foam up into a ridiculous volcano. No black ring around the bottle or any obvious signs of infection...

Alright, noob again. Every time something happens I feel new at it. I brewed a BIG Stout, spilled half my wort, had a bad brew day. OG 1.045 and when I tested it recenty (very sterile) it was 1.010(ish) is there any way I can get a bit more out of that yeast? Could I add sugar or something like...

Hi! Fairly new-ish brewer, long time drinker, and about the second time posting so forgive me for any etiquette mistakes! Also I will be posting from my phone because of the firewall here at work. Anyway, enough with the disclaimer on to my situation! I have recently tried to make the switch...

Help! I want to make the switch to all-grain brewing so bad I can't stand it. My problem is I can't decide how to make a mash tun. The wife and I just had a baby (a week old today) so I am trying to keep it on the cheap side. Did I say cheap? I meant brewing like I stole it! If someone could...
