I made a starter last night for my 1.076 IPA I made the starter right before i brewed. The wort is now sitting in a conical, chilled down and waiting. This morning the starter had a lot of krausen after 12 hours (no stir plate cause i lost my stir bar) It's now 18 hours. Should I put...

I'm trying to rush it to be ready for a party Sunday. I set it to 30psi last night. If tonight, I dial the pressure down to 10psi for an hour (i just want to taste it and see how it came out) would that hurt anything? After that i would bump it back up to 30psi till the next night and set at...

I have our fantasy football draft in 3 days and guys are really wanting me to bring a keg. I was thinking of kegging tonight if gravity shows good. and setting it to 30psi for 2 days (sat night) and should be good sunday? It was a very nice ferment from what it seemed -- starter went off...

Hard to explain this brain fart the last 3 brews but i've been using 400g DME per 2 liter water in my starter instead of 200g per 2 liter... I can only guess that would be around 1.075ish starter wort? Anyways all 3 times the starter kicked off fast with lots of krausen (over flowed in flask 2...

I have a 50b sack open (uncrushed) stored for 2.5 months in a hot humid garage... Looks fine but what do you guys think? Still ok to brew with?

While really active... I read a couple articles that say to do that. Will this give a flavor from the starter wort? or no? it's an IPA 1.063

Can someone explain Palmer's 2nd paragraph? http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter6-6.html I hear a lot of people saying pitching while active is best.... If the starter wort comp is at 1.040 and the main wort is 1.063 is this a problem or no? Thanks

I made a starter yesterday morning (2L - 200g DME) put one smack pack in the starter. I have never really had a big Krazen head but this one over flowed. I took it off the stir plate last night and set it on a towel. It's still trying to over flow. Do I ride it out? Should i put it in...

So if I set a keg to 30 psi and then pull the line, the pressure is still inside correct? I'm sure not forever.... I'm using the same line for 3 kegs so i couldn't leave it on. When i came back to the keg 14 hours later and put the line back on at was at 12. I bumped it up to 30 again. Is...

Krausen fell and airlock stopped about 7 days ago. When shinning a flashlight in the carboy it looks like the beer is slightly carbed. Is that normal looking? like tiny CO2 bubbles.

I did this m-80 ipa recipe from morebeer. AG it's a 12 gallon batch and i cut the recommended "oranges chunks" to half. I cut them up very clean trying not to get any white rind. soaked in grey goose for 20 mins added primary after 4 days I also added a bit of zest from the peel (just the...

It has been 24 hours. How long after i take the flask off the stirplate does it take to form the entire yeast cake before I can decant some? It has been almost 24 hours since i added the wort into my sanitized carboy so i kinda need to pitch I totally forgot to make a starter. It was a 2 liter...

Ok so i used PBW to clean the keg and forced PBW into the beer tubing (been sitting 3 weeks in the tube). If i connect the line to the keg (filled with beer) will PBW sneak back into the beer/keg? I just want to force out the PBW by running maybe a pint of beer out. I would do it with a keg...
