Hello: I am using the Brewer's Friend yeast calculator and had a question about the stir plate choices they have. What would be the difference from the Braukaier-Stirplae and the C. White Stir Plate under growth model and aeration? Are they not both stir plates? Sorry if this is a simple...

I'm sure this has been asked before so forgive if it's redundant... I keep my kegerator at about 40 degrees and it holds two kegs. I just kegged a third one and want to remove one of the kegs from the kegerator since the two in there are both the same beer. I have a few questions about...

Hello: I just bought two kegs and they both are Cornelius kegs. One is labeled Super Champion and the other has XH on the stamp. What "type" of Cornelius keg is this? Is this how Spartan kegs are stamped? Thanks for any help!

So I brewed a Hefe yesterday morning and notice last night that the airlock was clogged and the beer was coming out the sides. I added a blow off tube instead but that did not help. I popped the lid and just laid it on top of the bucket since I did not want it to explode and put the fermentor...

Hello: I made my first basic wheat recipe and kegged it yesterday. I currently have the CO2 set at 19PSI at 38 degrees. I have read differing opinions on what it should be carbed at and just wanted some advice. I was going to carb it at about 25 PSI to keep it at around 3.5-4.0 but after...

I am making my first hefeweizen brew and wanted to make sure this is right. From what I read it is basically a 65/35 wheat/pilsner split and any noble hop. So I was just going to use the following: (5 gallon brew) 4 LBS Wheat DME 2 LBS Pilsner DME 1 OZ Hallertauer Hops Wyeast 3068 or...

Hey there: I plan on kegging my first 5 gallon IPA batch this weekend. Unfortunately the kegerator is not complete yet. I plan on kegging and storing at room temperature with the CO2 connected. I wanted to know if this sounds right... Room temp is around 72 - 75 in my basement. (I know...

Hello: I was just offered a few glass carboys that have been previously used for wine. I currently have one soaking in PBW to see how clean it will get. Does anyone see any potential harm by using these as a secondary? Thanks!

So I just brewed yesterday and the fermenter is now bubbling away. The room temperature in my basement is a steady 72. I noticed the thermometer strip on the side of the bucket read 82. Is this bad? And how can I cool it down if so. I cannot control the basement temp.... Thanks for any...

I am new to starters and made one for an ale I am planning on brewing. I used Brewer's friend for the following: My wort will be 1.054 OG and 5 gallons. The yeast lot was made 5/24/15. (WLP007) So I read it to read only 72 billions viable cells. My target pitch rate was set at .75 (Ale)...
