Ok so I'm still confused. If I did a closed transfer to a keg that I purged by pushing out star san with CO2, do you think it's possible to keep it in the basement at lets say 65º for 10 months without it negatively effecting the beer? The beer went from primary in my carboy right into the keg...

Maybe I misunderstood the brew bucket part of it. So if I keep a big beer to age in a pressurized keg in the basement for 10 months, do you think it will be fine, or could some damage happen to the beer from being not totally chilled for that long of time?

I just saw today that Brulosophy put out the results of another experiment about warm aging a barleywine vs cold aging it for 5 months. The results are here: http://brulosophy.com/2019/04/15/impact-of-storage-temperature-on-high-og-beer-exbeeriment-results/ I actually just brewed a barleywine...

Looks like the vinegar soak is working! I emptied the vinegar into a bowl to take a look and it's looking crystal clear again. I put the vinegar back just to be safe, and I'm gonna let it sit a while longer. Thanks so much!

Yeah, we're renting the house and there is a water softener installed already. We can only use the water for cleaning. If we want to drink it, or cook I have to get it from a water station at the grocery store. In one way it's a drag, but on the plus side I always have RO water on hand for brewing!

We’re on well water and it’s a mess. Leaves stains everywhere. That’s most likely part of the problem.

Good idea. I’ll try that.

Oh wow! I may just go get a new one and chalk this up to a lesson learned and make sure I clean up right away. I’m normally good about it but this was the one piece I let sit. I’m boiling PBW in it right now but I’m not thinking it’s gonna work

Yeah it is borosilicate. It was clear before. Been using it for 2 years and never had this problem.

Life got in the way and I left the flask sitting in PBW for a week. Just tried cleaning it today with a brush and none of this stuff is coming off. I tried another round of PBW and a brush but nothing. It feels grimey and definitely has a texture to it.

I recently got the Jaded King Cobra and I'm looking to do recirculated chilling with a pump and ice bath. I want to use 1/2" barbs for the tubing coming in and out of the Cobra. I've been to 2 homebrew stores and they don't seem to have a way to go from the garden hose connectors on the Cobra to...

I've been thinking of getting the Jaded King Cobra, and wanted to get an submersible pump to recirculate ice water through it. I know they recommend a pretty high rate of flow to keep the Cobra working properly. Anyone have any experience or suggestions on a pump that would work well for it...

Fantastic. I appreciate the help everyone!

I think I'll do that. I'm almost positive everything in the house is on a 15 amp circuit. We're renting so I'm not totally positive.

So I just moved into a new house and I unfortunately have to keep the kegerator in the garage next to the chest freezer. I wanted to plug them both into the same outlet, but the outlet lays horizontally, and the plugs have a very thick part of the cable coming out at about a 45º angle, so it...

jkovac, what program do you use?

FunkedOut, just to make sure I understand how this would work, should I just start taking guesses at the increase I'll need? Like say, add 5% more of each grain to try to get the gravity to line up? If I do it that way the flavor should still be the same? I've had a bunch of questions kicking in...

Hi all! I've only been brewing for 2 years now, and I'm slowly getting my equipment dialed in. I brewed this recipe on Sunday: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/dark-owl-sweet-stout.55233/ The recipe calls for an OG of 1.060 for 5 gallons. When I put the recipe in BS, my gravity was...
