So I gave up bottling a few years ago. Since then I have been kegging only. But today, I brewed a 10 gallon batch with a buddy of mine. I keg, he bottles. We split the brew into 2 5 gallon fermenters, he took his 5 home and plans on sticking to the same schedule as me, but bottle it. I...

I am doing a 10 gallon brew in Saturday. And I made up a 1500ml stater of my conan. Last night I put 500ml aside in a mason jar, to use for my next starter. Been doing this a while now. But, then decided I didn't want to split batch with 2 different yeast. So you think I would be OK if i made...

Well my conan starter I have been using an saving (1500ml starters saving 500ml in mason jar, using 1litre for brew) The 500ml saved yeast semi froze in my fridge. Apparently had a malfunction with the fridge and got too cold.. Any thoughts? Will it be ok? should I warm it up, make a starter and...

I have been kegging my HB for a few years. Force carb, set it and forget it method. 12psi or so, sometimes 20 if I am impatient. Revisit the keg in a few days, maybe a week or 10. But I brew IPA's. Really only Ipas, a pale here and there. With so much thought and talk put into a "fresh" IPA, am...

Title says 10 gallon, only because cant brew more than a 10 gallon batch - They are 1/2 barrels.. Stainless of course. Figured I would throw a pic of my keg stand, its not new to me.. Started putting it all together about 2 years ago, took about 6-8 months slowly buying parts and pieces over...

I am looking into a pH meter. Ive seen prices from $12 on ebay (or even a little less) to hundreds.. Anyone have a good suggestion on a model/brand etc? Are the cheepy ones a joke? Dont want to spend a ton of $$$. but dont want to waste any either! Thanks

I am going back to my "almost" what I wanted batch. The last time I brewed this I used S04 for 5 gal and 1318 for 5 gal. I preferred the S04. But I think it needed tweaking. I made some slight adjustments to the hops (removed centennial as a keg hop, added a second Citra dry hop) Also added...

So I am still in the infancy of understanding water chemistry. I have been reading, and trying to learn. Im not there yet. In the mean time I sent off a test sample to Ward, and received the results today. I like hops, really like hops, so I have mainly been brewing hoppy beers, to only find...

So my last 2 attempts at some pretty hearty hopped beers, very low hop aroma. Both batches hops are coming across very muted. Cant figure out why! Heres my recipe for batch 1 2 row 18# white wheat #3 carapils #2 crystal 20L 1# fwh Apollo .3oz flame out apollo 1oz wp citra 2oz 60min...

10 gal batch, using total of 30 ounces hops. For the boil and whirlpool I have about 22 ounces. Was considering late addition wort, meaning boil 5 gallons or so separately and adding it back to the main boil/hop wort at about 10 min before flame out. Thoughts as far as success? Or am I looking...

I recently made my first attempt of grabbing some heady topper yeast from a few cans. I built it up over 3 weeks time, using low gravity starters, .025 for the first 2 500ml. Then up to a .035 with 1000ml, and most recently to a .040 on a 1500ml. I poured off 500 ml and canned that for later...
