    pre-boil gravity measurement - cool first?

    OK, I'm going to measure my pre-boil gravity this time around to hone in on my efficiency. I'm guessing my wort will be around 150-170 after the sparge...I have a wine thief and can take a sample at that time. But do can I just plop my hydrometer in at that temp and then using software to...

    Brewers 2-Row Malt or Pale Ale Malt

    I have a recipe that calls for Pale Malt(2-row) America (for a SNPA clone). I'm ordering from Austin Homebrew Supply...which base grain does that equate to: Brewers 2-Row Malt http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_21_71_110&products_id=83 or Pale Ale Malt...

    sight glass marking

    What do you guys use to mark off your sight glass measurements? I have the bargain fittings sight glass and looking for something a little nicer than just magic marker, if possible. Something like this would be ideal, but I have no idea what was used here...

    how long is TOO long in the primary

    I had 2 batches of cream ale, and I kegged one batch but have never gotten around to kegging the other (or racking it to a secondary). So it's been sitting in the primary bucket since mid January (temp was maintained at < 70 for 3-4 weeks, but since then the temp has fluctuated since I haven't...

    Recommend a thermometer?

    I don't own a thermopen, but I agree with the sentiment. I've been through 4 thermometers and frustrated each time (1 I had, 3 I bought). I think I got lucky with a cheapo 4th one (Seemed to work well for my last batch), but if you look at what I dumped on the 3 altogether and the...

    Primary/no secondary - add gelatin to primary or to keg?

    First batch I'm kegging and first batch I'm using gelatin. My cream of 3 crops ale was in primary for 3 weeks, now I put it in the fridge overnight last night to "cold crash" for a few days before I rack to a keg. My questions: 1) Should I add gelatin to the primary today and then rack...

    How to Force (Burst) Carb without Overcarbing

    Wouldn't this depend on whether you have a regulator with a safety valve preventing backflow of beer into the regulator? (read that somewhere, but I'm new to kegging so not the one to make suggestions)

    beginner kegerator + tower build questions

    Working on my first kegerator (sanyo 4912 conversion) and have a few questions. a) I ordered a chrome tower and got it fitted with perlicks when it was sent to me. If I want to take out the taps and connected hose (for easier installation of the tower which I'm having issues with now) do I...

    Advantages of fermenting for longer?

    You add the gelatin to the primary, then cold crash? Reason I'm asking is I just had my first successful 10G batch (BM's Cream of 3 crops ale) and this happens to be the first time I'm kegging, so I'm hoping to have a nice beer in my new kegerator. Since I used my bucket and better bottle...

    Cream Ale Cream of Three Crops (Cream Ale)

    Just finished brewing this recipe...it was my first 10 gallon batch. Long story as I accidentally ordered the recipe for the 11.5 gallon batch and wasn't meaning too :) Anyways, decided to bite the bullet and do it anyways and split it across 2 fermenters (my 6.5 gal bucket and 5 gallon better...

    books?

    I believe the online version of Palmer's book doesn't have all the info that's in the actual hardcopy, right? Least that's how I understood it. Either way, buy the hardcopy as you'll refer to it enough that it's good to have it around. agree about the joy of homebrewing being very dated. I...

    Rootbeer in keg

    I'm just getting into kegging and getting my kit in the next few days. I don't even have any beer fermenting at the moment, so it'll be several weeks before I can keg my first batch. I was thinking about doing some homemade rootbeer in the keg for the kids in the meantime, but wondering if I...

    kegging - custom regulators?

    I have a local guy who I believe can give me a better deal on a complete system than what I can get online, with shipping, etc. The only catch is he apparently has "custom" regulators that he gets from someplace else. Right now he's testing out one of his dual regulators as the ones he's used...

    blowoff tube for bucket

    I have the basic 6.5 gallon buckets that are sold from midwest. The lid has a small hole (within the rubber gasket) for the airlock. I'm wanting to brew Biermuncher's SWMBO slayer and understand it can kick up quite a bit of fermentation activity. I may be safe with 6.5 gallon fermenter...
