    Adding liquid fining agent into fermenter via gas post?

    I dont *think* this is a stupid question.. if it is.. please ignore :) I use an all-rounder fermenter that has the liquid and gas posts. I ferment under pressure (~10psi) and really don't want to crack the lid to put in a fining agent. I am wondering if it would be practical to find a...

    I have a Blichmann Brew commander 220v The power plug coming out is rather short and extremely beefy. - a good thing but creates a problem when trying to use it. I stow my components in a cabinet before use. I don't want to permanently mount the unit to the wall etc. Because the cord to...

    7.3 Gal of wort in Fermzilla All Rounder. Can it deal with it?

    My recipe is supposed to deliver 6.6 gal to the fermenter. Obviously my equipment profile is off as I ended up with a whopping 7.3 gal (just under 28L in the rounder). That's really full.. What kind of a foaming sh** storm have I set myself up for? Has anyone put that much in the rounder...

    Robobrew storage container

    Does anyone know of a container that can be used to store a Robobrew between sessions? I am currently using the cardboard box it came in. I would like to have something a little better than cardboard with maybe a lid that can clamp on or stay closed somehow. I currently put the Robobrew in...

    Inbev buys rest of Ratebeer. Can it be trusted?

    It looks to be yet another suspicious Inbev move. AB InBev acquired a minority stake in RateBeer in October 2016, but did not publicly announce the news until June 2017. Why would Inbev buy Ratebeer? - User - "Top Rated Beers Nearby" are all @abinbev beers...

    I think I just invented a new method, and the term 'BitterBomb'!

    Oh boy... I have found an IPA recipe I really like. I brewed it a couple of months ago.. and it is really great.. I thought I would brew it again but substitute one of the hops and increase the citra.. So after a trip to the Homebrew store and $48 later, I started the brewing process...

    Someone please tell me what I missed about Force Carbonation

    I am on my 5th batch of all-grain. I am starting to feel somewhat comfortable with the process. I have been force-carbing my beers in the kegs. And it seems to work.. In fact, I built one of those quick carb mechanisms from a youtube video.. Its nifty.. BUT.. After force carb'ing the...

    I am new to homebrewing, and just brewed my third batch.. All grain.. this an American Wheat from an online kit. Everything is fine with the brew, except I am concerned about the yeast. The yeast arrived in the package with the other ingredients, but the plastic envelope with the yeast in it...

    Best non-AB-Inbev owned beer store?

    I have recently re-entered the homebrew game after a long absence. I have been searching around for a good source for supplies. I cannot in good conscience give any business to the homebrew chains owned by Beer Voltron (Midwest Supply, Northern Brewer). Can anyone give recommendations on...

    Recommended online equipment retailer?

    I am going to take the plunge and buy into some all grain brewing equipment. Since Beer Voltron now owns two of the big online suppliers - Midwest Brewing Supplies and Northern Brewer, I thought I would ask opinions on other online retailers. I refuse to support AB Inbev in any way. Does...
