Thanks!

Hey everyone, So I built a keezer and I had to move it across a few states the other day. It was in the back of my truck and the top flew open, causing me to drive for a while on the highway with the top up, not directly facing the wind, but I think the joints/springs got over extended due...

I added the spices in the last 5 min of the boil. I think the problem was over carbonation. I am still trying to dial in my force carbonation method and ave been erring on getting it as carbonated as possible. After a few beers, it seems that the carb level has gone down a bit and the same...

Hey everyone, I just got my keezer up and running and it has been awesome. However, with my latest selection on tap, I noticed some flavor loss. I made this pumpkin ale: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f76/samhain-pumpkin-ale-140674/ I bottled half of the 5 gallon batch kegged the other...

Cool. Well, I smushed them up with a rolling pin and made a tea with the water before adding the honey. Ill see what it is like after fermentation; maybe ill add more after.

Thanks for the input everyone! Here is the recipe that I think we will be going with. For a one Gallon Batch 2lb. Honey .1 oz Juniper Berries 1lb Raspberries When should I be adding the juniper? I figured raspberries would be added in the secondary, but I am not sure about the juniper...

Would these flavors work together at all?

Hey, I think that I will brew this up soon. Did you really only use 1 single clove?

So here is the recipe I used. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/ole-zion-church-saison-246288/ I added another half ounce or so after fermentation. I believe saisons are supposed to be clear, albeit, I think this is more of a non traditional saison. I feel like if I only add the orange peel...

Hey! So I brewed this, and it has been in bottles for a little over a month but there is still quite a bit of suspended material. Apparently this is possibly the result of pectin extraction during the boil. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I used some store brand black peppercorns...

I sure did boil the orange peel. Pectin eh? Cool, how might I avoid this problem in the future?

So, I used whirlfloc for the first time and there is a ton of suspended material that has not sedimented out of in the bottles even after a month. The beer had plenty of other ingredients, orange peel, peppercorns, 4oz of hops but I have never had this much stuff left in suspension. I used one...

Hey everyone, Brewed this yesterday. Everything went well except my efficiency was around 60%. I think the ph of my mash water is either high or low and that I am not getting great conversion. My sparge method is shaky too. I am wondering what other peoples methods were for this batch? I...

Great! Thanks for the help! :mug:

Sounds good. I think I will go with that for now as it will make my manifold build for my MLT a lot easier if I use 5/8 in. tubing. Is it possible to later extend the length of a wort chiller by either soldering or compression fittings to accommodate larger batches?

Thanks for the quick reply! Primarily 5 gallons until I get a burner and keggle, at which point I will be doing 10 gallon from time to time.

Is 18' of 5/8 in. Copper Tubing too short for an immersion Wort Chiller?

Alright, so I got around to making another batch of beer and racked my unfinished one ontop of the yeast cake left behind. It has been a week and there has maybe been a change of about .002 if any of the SG, leaving is around 1.030. I used about 8 lb of DME and 1 LB of Light Candi Sugar, and...

thank you. i use 4' at 5 psi works good for me. Just hear different things.

why so long if you only need 4'? using 10' to move beer 4'. just wondering if it would be better?
