Will having the lid partially on risk DMS? And can you use a heat stick in addition to induction? I have a heavy duty all be it 1800 watt induction burner. Can't go to 3500 yet. I got 6.5 gallons to a full boil with the lid on but tiny boil lid off and just enough with lid half way on. Other...

120v or 240?!? Pros and cons go! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

What do you all use under your pots? Tile? Metal? I know it takes a lot to burn wood just wondering if you have a suggestion as to what to make my tops of my 3 tier gravity set up. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have been obsessing over the boil coils. I am not electric handy so I rather buy the coils. I'm a simple brewer so it will always be 5 gallons batch sparging. Going with the 120v 2250 amp versions. My questions: 1. Once I get the wort to a boil can I just keep running it full boar or does...

So I am force carbing 2 beers on co2. An ipa and Trappist tripel. I just didn't have the time to bottle the tripel. I carbed them so they would come out 2.3 per volume. 1 regulator. Ipa is great but the tripel seems flat. Plenty of co2 no leaks and been a few weeks. Thoughts? Should I put the...

So I haven't really had homebrew on keg in a while or if at all. mostly kegged competition beer and bottled the rest. I did the rock at 30psi method and then after 24 hours put it on 13 psi for the past 4 days. From what I am reading is that at 38-40 degrees and wanting a 2.5 co2 level i can...

Have a very controlled set up and keep the beer temp at 68 degrees for the most part in my chamber. I brewed a big mad elf clone and fermentation stalled. I was told by my local HBS to use some yeast energizer and putti to a heat pad. I'm in week 3. I'm scared of the high 70's temp if not 80s...

I am in the process of building my portable kegerator. Got the can from Walmart. Went with the $30. I am starting off with 2 taps. I'd like to somehow strap or harness the co2 inside. I have a 2.5 lb tank. Any thoughts on a cradle or harness??? PVC I only found in 4" and the diameter of the co2...

I'm curious...does it matter where the double out and psi gauge go on this? I'd like to move the gauge opposite the connection to the co2 as this will be used on a paint ball 20 oz can...thoughts?

So I have a case or the equivlent of half a keg of beer that is extremely undercarbed. I messed up on the priming sugar and now am kicking myself cause it tastes amazing (double honey wit). Am I crazy to just pop off all the tops and pour into a keg real quick and real cleanly and ramp up the...

Always put my pumpkin in my mash.i know there's a debate on in mash, in boil, and not at All... All I want to know is if I use 2lbs of canned pumpkin that I pre-roast how do I calculate it for the mash? Do I treat it like 2 lbs of grain? I batch sparge in a rectangle cooler and use rice hulls

I have seen many opinion out there. I have a chamber with a reptile bulb and my garage is at 80 degrees. I don't trust my chamber at a high temp. Any suggestions on a yeast and if 2 days at 74 in the chamber followed by the garage anywhere from 75-85??? Help!

I've really scaled down on my brewing since my son was born. I don't need the extra step of having a grain mill and my HBS has a brand new mill. What you get is: $140 single fixed grain mill $50 Harbor Freight Low speed adjustable with high torque $100 worth of parts. Wood, Container...

As you'll see in my pics I over crushed the grain. Super cloudy Wit beer. What will happen?!?!

I had an old fridge with a collar that I was using for kegging beer. In my new house i really don't have anywhere to ferment (no basement) and we are moving to a bigger house that I'll have dedicated brew space for as well as a bar!! that's 2 years away. so for now i'll be bottling...

so i have been using my kegorator for my fermentation chamber...i used a blow off and it blew out a bunch of sanitized water to the floor. switched to a vodka air lock after day 4. I went to dryhop today. beer looks fine. krausen on the inside. no white spots. now there is some black...

I have everything wired up and it runs fine. Slight vibration but magnet is already glued down. It's based on: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-stirplate-cheap-easy-build-86252/ I can't get the magnet not to be throw past a small speed

as you can see in my pics i hard piped my slotted angle iron with black pipe up to my burners with some shut offs. I used the yellow tape suggested for black pipe. I'm assuming i just put the propane on and close the closest valve and spray with soap water to check for leaks? any other...

I have a keggle that is converted with a false bottom. There is a quick disconnect attached. When I go to clip in the QD to the pump nothing comes out and that's with the pump off. I can't get the wort down to prime the pump. If the QD isn't on there it comes out the spout no problem. No...

Anyone know where to purchase sheild labels? I like the label generators out there but I don't want to print on one big page and have to cut them out. Does anyone know what size i should be getting and where to get it?
