I wasn't sure how to word the title of the post. I lost track of what I was doing one night while transferring to my keg. I filled the keg with sanitizer, Pushed it out with co2 leaving the keg purged. I hooked everything up for the closed transfer and left hooking it up to the keg last. I...

I had someone I know give me a full tank that they used for aquariums. I was looking at it today and around the top I see what looks like stress cracks. I'm not 100% on it but have never seen it on any tank I've had. Should I be concerned with this? I don't see tons of info in searches.

I was wondering how long yeast can last before I wash it and jar it. I just kegged my beer on the weekend, Swirled the fermenter and dumped the yeast into a sanitized jar and tossed it in the fridge. Am I able to put it in 250ml jars? I'm wondering if that would give me enough for 5 gallon...

After 5 years of picking stuff up here and there and a couple busy years I'm about done. I spent hours running everything and cleaning it out last night. I had another few hours fighting with temp probes not reading Temps right. I found I had two wires reversed on the PID, Silly mistake. Now I...

One thing I did not think through when purchasing my parts was. Would the element clear the fitting. I was testing out the fit before I started drilling into the kettle and notice the element does not clear the fitting when it comes back. It is doubled up inside touching itself and the fitting...

I started building a control panel a few years back and I was pretty close. Life just got in the way and to the back it went. I finally start pulling everything out and I see a mess...lol I followed 2 different online designs. At the time I knew the basics of what was going on. I never drew...

Hi, I am slowly getting the parts together to build an electric brewery. I ordered two RTD PT100 from china to try to save a little. Like $30 something on Aubers. I paid like $12 each for them but I'm not sure if they will work. I only see two pins and the other two holes are sealed. There...

I went out and grabbed tubbing at my local homebrew store along with regulator and quick connects. I know which goes where and so on. I get the basics to it all but I was in a rush. I got two kinds of tubing one clear and one braided. Now I remember him asking aboit distance between the keg and...

Not the greatest deal when compared to some I see on here but happy with it. 6kegs and 2 #20 tanks of co2 full. Some were full of still carbonated pop. All hold pressure. 1 co2 tank I cannot find a date that makes sense so I am cluless to the hydro date. In all $200 I paid. So I know I need a...

About to jump into kegging and was curious. Is this a decent deal? Looks pretty used but as long as it functions and isn't filthy inside is this good? 3 Coca Cola corny kegs with 2 20 pound co2 tanks full. Great for home brew or soda. $100 obo

Ok...I have been reading and skimming through post after post and would really like to build an electric system but I keep running across one thing I guess I don't get. I keep seeing you need GFCI protected outlet but I have also read that you can use a dryer outlet. I have a 4 prong dryer...

I recently made two beers. 1 is a Winter Beer Started on the 21st with Safe ale 05 It's been at 59F Steady from the start. Actual temp not air. It's still Foamy at the top and cloudy and the airlock barely bubbles. It was a very active fermentation was coming through the blow off tube for...

I've been looking into making a cider and found some in my Grocery store. It says Fresh Pressed Sweet Apple Cider The ingredients are Apples. No Sugar added - No preservatives No Water or Concentrates - Unfiltered It Does say Pasteurized So is this able to be used? Any Steps needed...

I still have some time before my current beer is ready but I was wondering if putting cheesecloth on the end of the racking cane would remove too much yeast? I was thinking about putting it around the end but keeping it under the fluid obviously while transferring to the bottling bucket When I...

Found these while on a walk today. I'm guessing there is no way to figure out what kind they are? They smell real good!! There are tons but they don't look to be ready yet maybe soon though because they seem to be drying out. Any use for them or let them go?

So I cut up some vanilla beans and tossed them into a small amount of vodka to let it sit to put in my carboy. I was swishing it around and noticed that somehow two fruit flies made it in. I sanitized everything mixed it up and put the top on pretty quickly but they made it in. I fished the...

So I pulled off my first All Grain!! In all it took me 5 1/2 hrs. I had the cooler pre heating way ahead of time and had water heated in pots also so maybe more time if you add that in. Everything went fine until cooling it down which took about an hour. I did have a couple issues though. I...

So I am on my first brew ever a India Pale Ale. I went out and bought everything I needed and did what I have read. Clean and Sanitize and again and again. Everything went well...I followed the recipe I was given without a problem...Well One. I dumped the hot wort into my Primary Bucket right...
