Hello all, I have a quick question hopefully someone can help me with. I recently acquired some new to me keggles, both of which have a very jerry rigged copper and brass bulkhead set up that I want to do away with as they are corroding and leak like crazy. This is where the question comes in, I...

I got a coors keg awhile back to make a keggle, and finally realized that I am never going to get around to it and I want it out of the garage, so free ti whoever wants it. Pick up only, I am in enumclaw. I can't seem to upload pictures, I will try to add one later

So I was just getting ready for mash out when I looked over and saw the bag of flaked barley I was supposed to add to the mash, and forgot. I reset my mash timer and threw it into the mash that has already been sitting an hour. With conversion already being done am I going to get anything at all...

So I was just making a recipie with odds and ends from my freezer on brewersfriend because I don't have beersmith on my phone, it gave me about the numbers I expected. I got a phone call, it refreshed, I lost the recipie, so I figured I'd grab my computer and just use beersmith. Well I put in...

I have outgrown my current mash tun and was looking for a new one when a friend called me saying he found a keg at his place I could have to turn into a keggle. The question I have is every keggle I've ever seen uses a straight walled keg, this is one of the tapered style can I still use it...

Well my fermentation chest freezer went out and SWMBO said I couldn't get a new one since I just built a kegerator, but seeing as though ambient temps are around 90*f right now I had to figure something out. So in steps my old dorm fridge that was laying around, though too small to fit a bucket...

So my neighbor grows barley, I grow hops, so we decided why not try to make an all local beer? I wrote a recipie, dug out last year's centennial crop and he went to work figuring out how to malt some barley. Then it hit me, how can we call it a local beer with yeast from a lab somewhere? And...

I have been brewing beer for quite awhile, but my wife just recently talked me into making her a batch of cider for the summer. This is a whole new world to me so I have a couple questions; first is on back sweetening. The best hydro sample I had of this cider was at around 1.010 and I would...

So I have a cider going right now and throw a combo of over pitching and lack of head space it started blowing off in the air lock pretty good. Ok so no big deal I threw on my blow off like I've done dozens of times before and walk away. I come back am hour later to krausen all over the floor...

So I recently decided to try my hand at making my first hefe, and likely my last. I wanted a good banana bomb but instead I ended up with something that after 3 weeks in primary tastes like a mix of farts and pretzels with a very tart after taste, and smells like pure s02. Any thoughts on how to...

So I just picked up an old whirlpool chest freezer to build a keezer. It needs alot of work, pretty crusty. However, when picking it up I failed to look at the hinges and now that I have it home and unloaded I think it won't work. Are these part of the cooling coils or could I cut them and add...

So I've been reading the forum about apfelwein and really have the hankering to make a batch this weekend. However, my LHBS is about 40 miles away and I really don't feel like driving out there right now, hence the apfelwein because I can get most everything from the local grocer, except the...

So I just bought my first keg set up from my LHBS and the directions they gave me seem to contradict everything I am reading online. They told me to pressurize to 30psi and agitate for about ten minutes then throw it in the fridge for a couple days then reduce pressure to 7 psi and serve. Every...
