    Natural Carbonation in Keg

    Hefe with yeast starter had a nice vigorous fermentation finishing at 1.016. I racked to keg after 10 days with 4 oz of corn sugar. Purged with CO2. Set the fermenter at 68F and hooked up my new spunding valve to the gas in port. I expected to see pressure start to climb after 24-48 hours...

    Anyone using a GE 5.0 cu. ft. Freezer (FCM5SKWW)

    I have been searching high and low for INTERIOR dimensions of this unit. I can't even find a unit locally to go measure. Hell, I can't even find a photo on Google inside of this unit! What happened to manufacturer's putting dimensional drawings in the backs of manuals?? Anyhow... I am...

    Why do we all use Freezers vs. Refrigerators?

    Keezers seem to always be made using chest freezers. I assume it's because they lend themselves to adding a collar for faucets without destroying the unit itself. But what if we're setting up a controlled environment for fermentation. Are there any compelling reasons why a refrigerator...

    How much washed yeast to use in a starter?

    After my last pilsner about four months ago, I carefully washed the German lager yeast from the fermenter. I have made plenty of starters from commercial liquid yeast. However, I have never made one from washed yeast. I will be brewing another 1.050 pilsner and would like to make an adequate...

    White IPA or Classic DIPA?

    What should I brew next? 1065 White IPA dry hopped with Galaxy or a classic 1080 DIPA dry hopped with Columbus, Amarillo and Cascade... probably some Simcoe in the mix.

    Gravity Help

    I'm totally struggling with my gravity readings. I have both a refractometer and hydrometer. For my current brew, the OG was 1.052 (12.58 brix) as read from the refractometer. Following fermentation, it now reads 6.5 brix. When I plug these numbers into a calculator, it says the current...

    Sierra Nevada's Oktoberfest (2016) Clone Recipe Input

    Based on what I have gathered online, I put the attached recipe together. I really enjoyed SN's beer last season and hope to create something similar. From what I gather, SN's beer was more of a "souped up helles" version which is 4B Festbier" vs. the old 6A Marzen Oktoberfest style. I guess...
