    Carbonation cap leaking.

    I bought two of them and tried another tonight just on a bottle to test it out and it seemed to be holding fine. Maybe I just didn’t have it tight enough.

    Carbonation cap leaking.

    Thanks for the reply’s. I will take a look at both of these and see if I can get it sealed properly.

    Carbonation cap leaking.

    I bought a couple carbonation caps and tried one out the other day and it was leaking co2. It came with a few o rings so I’m assuming I need to add one to the inside to help seal it but none seem to be the right size. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what I might need to do.

    Mistake milling grains. What would you do?

    So I think I’m gonna go with C. It may not end up with exactly the right numbers but I’m ok with that. In the end it’s gonna make beer. 🍻

    Mistake milling grains. What would you do?

    So Tonight I milled my grains for a NEIPA I’m planning on brewing tomorrow and I think I accidentally added an extra pound of 2 row in it. I’ve already mixed all the grains from the recipe. I’m only brewing a 1.75 gallon batch so it raises my abv from 5.97 to 7.38. Do I A - leave it and brew as...

    What is going wrong?

    @Saunassa not a bad thought but I don’t think that’s the case only because when I drink commercial beers I have no problem picking up flavours and aromas. Last night I actually was having a commercial IPA and had a taste of mine to compare and didn’t like it. I’m gonna give it some time and see...

    What is going wrong?

    @Velnerj Yeah they were all cryo hops. I had never used them before so maybe next time I’ll try using something else earlier in the boil. I’ve been mostly disappointed with the hoppy beers I’ve attempted so far except for one black ipa that had a bunch of late additions and whirlpool that I...

    What is going wrong?

    @Velnerj I did actually do a 30 min whirlpool around 70C. What temperature would you normally do your dry hopping at? @Transamguy77 yeah it mostly just lacking flavour and aroma. The hops definitely aren’t coming through but also I feel like it’s lacking some maltiness as well. I’ll take a look...

    What is going wrong?

    This beer I was just using a bucket but I do have a plastic carboy that I could use with one of those tops. I’ll have to order one. Thanks

    What is going wrong?

    I do fill my kegs with star san and push it out with co2 but I’m kinda thinking if it is oxidation, it maybe actually happened before kegging. When I transferred to my keg I took a gravity sample and it already seemed like it had lost most of that hop aroma and flavour that I tasted when I took...

    What is going wrong?

    It definitely possible I’ve exposed to to oxygen at some point although I do try my best to limit it from happening. I added my hops when I racked into my keg using a stainless hop cylinder using some floss so I could pull it out. I purged it by pushing out star san then purged it again once it...

    What is going wrong?

    Yeah sorry I’m not great at describing what I’m tasting. I guess it maybe it just tastes a bit bland without the hops adding to it. I was wondering if it maybe it needed some time to age but I read about people drinking their kveik beers after a week and that still doesn’t help with the lack of...

    What is going wrong?

    I started brewing last year and am about 15 brews in. I’ve made a couple beers I thought were ok but nothing I’d be too proud to serve. My beers haven’t had great flavour or hop aroma. I’m not sure if its my process or if there’s something else that I could do to improve my beers. The closest...

    Best website's to purchase supplies in Canada?

    I actually put in an order from them last Thursday at lunch, and it was at my house waiting for me when I got home from work Friday at 3:30. I live in Brandon so I was pretty happy about that. I’m always impressed with how quick they get orders ready and whenever I’ve had questions they’re...

    Best website's to purchase supplies in Canada?

    I’ll second Grain to Glass. I’m from Manitoba so I can sometimes pick up when I’m in Winnipeg but I’ve had them ship to me a few times and it was at my house within a couple days.
