    Inline flow control

    I can't understand why but i've noticed the same thing about the beer/wine/soda that have sit in the line for a few days, it's flat, and with 30 foot of tubing, it means a pretty big glass of stuff to drink or waste before getting to the good stuff. I could'nt really find any good way around...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    I have a problem with mine, i brewed it early october, og 1,093 it started fermenting well but the fermentation stucked at 1,040. I brewed something else to to rack the stuck brew on the new yeast cake but, when fermentation slowed and i checked my gravity the beer was all ropy, it was the...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    I finally went the Westvleteren 12 clone and maple wine route. I brewed it with 1 part 6 row, 4 part unmalted grains (barley/wheat/oats in mostly even quantity) (I'm a poorboy, malt is hard to come by around here, grain is almost free and i've been lazy about malting lately, it does a good job...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    I've read more than half of the two threads over the last few days, thanks to everyone who contributed. I've been given given 2 gal of half boiled maple syrup sg 1.140 and i am tempted to use it instead of the candi syrups. It would surely end up in a belgian strong pale ale instead and don't...

    Creating an NA (Or...how I neutered my beer)

    Thanks to you, I just learned a few new things. I thought that, since the density of the alcohol and water are relatively closer than water and sugar it would make a few percent change in alcohol concentration hard to mesure on the hydrometer. I've read your post, did some search and learned...

    Creating an NA (Or...how I neutered my beer)

    I'd also say that the the most home friendly and accurate way to mesure the end abv is by condensing and calculing the total alcohol evaporated. There is a tool like a densimeter with a different scale that tells the abv of distilled spirit. You can also know the percentage of alcohol in the...

    This is how big your Mash Tun needs to be

    I've recently came across 3 sheets of stainless around 21'' x 34''. So I've decided it's time for a new mash tun. Until now i've been using a 48 quarts cooler that is always full, I mostly always make a bit of mess and I most often restrict myself to light beers since for the times it takes...

    kegerator watercooled closet expansion

    I would have inverted the gas and pick up tube and made a support so the keg would not support on the quick connect, i did not tought about it but i could just use a bigger line to get less restriction.

    kegerator watercooled closet expansion

    I plan to build a closet over my kegerator and inside put a less cool than the kegerator compartement to put a keg or two of low carbonation ale like a bitter or scotch ale. I have an aluminium cooling case from an old refrigerator and a few small radiators. I plan to put a radiator in the...

All plant seems to fares well here. I live...
