Hey everyone, Just kegged an APA, hooked up the gas and started to turn the knob and I can hear gas going into the keg but the gauge still reads zero. It's a tapright regulator, wonder if anyone has any suggestions to set the pressure " rightish" until I can get a new gauge this week? Was...

Hey everyone, I am want to bottle this as soon as I can but it's not as clear as I'd like. Yeast is Wyeast 2565, pitched it March 23. Fermented at 59 degrees OG was 1.046, FG is 1.012 today. Tastes great! What are the chances of it clearing if I let it sit longer?

Hey everyone. I have a black IPA that is making my life interesting. I pitched Wyeast 1332 (northwest ale) at 66 degrees on Feb 22. fermentation was good for about a week and then slowed right down and the Krausen took forever to drop. OG was 1.060 and my reading today is 1.020. Should I...

Hey everyone. I haven't had time to brew in a few months but FINALLY had time to do a partial extract this morning. I got everything ready...everything was going smooth, until.....I went to remove the plate that I placed on the bottom of my kettle to keep the steeping grains from burning on...

I pitched the yeast Sunday afternoon (Salfbrew S33) and came home from work today and the blow off is going nuts! I have about 9 or 10 brews under my belt but none of them have ever fermented this vigorously. Is it "normal" to have this much activity? Temperature is about 63. Sent from my C6506...

Hey everyone, Up to this point to sanitize my bottles I have been filling up my bottling bucket the whole way with iphodor and filling up each bottle, which is pretty much doubling my bottling time. I'm wondering if using iphodor with an avinator would cut down on that? I'm just worried about...

So I bottled my first extract brew today and got about three bottles into it and realized that I had less than what the kit said it would make (23 liters). Obviously I didn't add enough water after I transferred the wort into the primary, now it makes perfect sense why I had such a hard time...

Just wondering if it is necessary to stir some of the yeast from the trub back into the beer before transferring to the bottling bucket? Someone was telling me that if you let the beer clear by letting it sit in the primary for a couple of weeks that there may not be enough yeast left in...

I just picked up a honey brown ale extract kit from my local brew shop on the weekend. It came with Windsor British style yeast. I've been browsing through the forums and it's starting to look like this yeast may not be the greatest. Does anyone have any suggestions of a better yeast to use for...

Hi Everyone, Just got home from work and checked on my brew. I noticed two things. 1.There seems to be a tiny weep coming from the spigot, not even really enough for it to drip more than once every 5 minutes or so. 2.That there are tiny bubbles forming around the top of the beer, I...

Hello everyone, Just looking for a little help here, I know the topic has been discussed lots but here is my situation. I have started fermenting my Festa Brew wheat on April 21st. Everything seems to be going ok but I want to transfer into a secondary to free up some space. When I opened...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Pale Lager? My wife loves Sleeman Clear, part of the deal of me taking up space with brewing equipment was that I would brew something for her to drink as well. I know it would be difficult at best to replicate Sleeman Clear but figured I would put it out...

Started fermenting my first kit today (Festa Brew Wheat). All went well except my OG reading...when I picked up the starter kit a few days ago I grabbed a test tube since the kit didn't come with one. I started paying for everything and the guy at the checkout said "oh you don't need the test...
