    Possible Bad Sankey Keg.

    Hey all, So I bought a keg of The Crisp from my local store that I've had no problems with. From day 1 its been a foam monster. I figured at first, ok it still needs to settle. Fast forward 3 days sitting at 35* in my kegerator, still foamy. I check the line. Its 6 feet, purge pressure...

    What should I brew next?

    Its been a long while since I brewed (mostly because I brewed way too much and can't drink it all) I've got a few days off coming up at the end of the month. Taking suggestions on what I should brew. The only beers that I will definitely not brew are lambics and sours. I don't have a...

    I just realized something: E-brewery= sous-vide cooker!

    Seriously it just came to me. My mash tun could easily double as a sous-vide pot. I was about to buy a sous-vide cooker on amazon just now, and I was reading over reviews and what not, and then I realized... Wait... I can control water temperature and continuously recirculate in my brewery...

    Not Happy: Shipped Yeast DOA

    Long Story Short... Ordered my yeast from an online retailer (not going to name names) they forgot to add the ice to keep the yeast cool. It was only a 2 day ship and I figured well it wasnt too hot, maybe this yeast will be OK. Created a starter and added on the stir-plate... Come down...

    Whats up with all the Galaxy hopped beers?

    I personally don't see the appeal of Galaxy. Its not my go to when I think, "Man I really want a danky piney IPA" To me, it has a very distinct flavor to it and I'm just not a fan. Then again, I was the same way with Sorahi Ace. I never liked that one either. I've tried 3 local examples...

    Shame... Giving up on Fly Sparging

    OK so I started out with Batch sparging when I went to AG. For so long I had this feeling like I wasnt good enough to do Fly sparging. So eventually when I had enough money and the appropriate equipment I started Fly-Sparging... Man I felt like such a pro doing that. But after a while I...

    Acquired some commercial Perlick air regs. Help?

    Speidel 60L Test: Dry hopping

    OK. So I purchased a Speidel 60L as an in-between step to see if I can justify spending the $$ on a Conical for a few reasons stated below: 1. Ease of use 2. Sanitary fittings 3. Ease of cleaning 4. Pressure transfers 5. Dry hopping. So i figured I would put my Speidel through a...

    Dome or no Dome? That is the question.

    I've been looking around for a new Conical for a while now... I'm noticing a few trends here and there. Some that I like and some I dont. I was curious, in the case of users of Conical Fermenters that have domed lids. How do you like them? Do you find that the extra headspace is beneficial...

    Pre-plate chiller filter: Non Brewers Hardware DIY

    OK, I was thinking about re-purposing my beer filter as a pre-plate chiller Trub and Hops filter. The biggest problem that I found is that most cartridges that are sold do not have large enough openings, that I fear that it will clog pretty quickly... I was thinking maybe use some SS...

    New V3 Kettles from Spike? Anyone Have one yet?

    So I have been taking a little time off from brewing since I got married, but now I'm doing a little clean up of my brewery I decided my biggest problem with my setup is my MT. Its capacity is just not large enough for High Gravity beers. SOOOO, I went to my favorite vendors site to look for a...

Came back in the morning, went to pour the keg out and out comes a dead mouse... I figure the little bugger ate the poison went to...

    Brewing now... Can't get pH up Dark beer

    OK i figured I would just say that I'm currently in the middle of brewing Denny Conn's BVIP a 12G Batch. Im currently measuring a 4.96 pH and I think I know why its so low. I've maxed out my MT for a 12G batch and I think because there are so many dark grains in this, I don't have enough...

    Interesting experiment regarding Trub into the fermenter

    I decided to read a bit more on this, and we all seem to have our thoughts on how clear wort into the fermenter might or should result in clearer final product, however upon reading this blog where the brewer tested this theory, I'm not so sure that hold's true anymore...
