Is there any reason why I can't cut my gas line to just the length I need? Planning my keezer build and they have 16' of gas line. Can I cut the gas line to the length that I need? Can I take my beer line, coil it up, and zip tie it together so it's not as cluttering in the keezer? Taprite 2...

Looking for some tips here. Where do you guys get the parts to build a control panel and is there a good DIY link of how to wire it? I would like to have 2 PID, one for the mash and one for the HLT. I'm building a herms system, so would like a temp probe in the mash tun and one for the HLT. I...

Can I keg a beer, pressurize the keg to service pressure, and leave it disconnected from gas to age for a week or so at 35*F? The reason I am asking is because I have 2 taps and both are taken. I have a 3rd beer that needs kegged in a few days and no tap or gas line available.

Anyone running brewhardware.com rims kit with the 1500w element? Does it have enough power to heat strike water? Any complaints with it?

I plan on harvesting the yeast from my conical into mason jars then keeping them in my keezer until the next batch, then pitching into a starter. I was going to collect 1 pint of yeast. My question is, do I need to wash the yeast if its already clean?

I have new intertap faucets I want to install however I just tapped two kegs. Can I remove and replace the faucets after I disconnect the liquid line from the keg or will beer go everywhere?

I have a 2 tap kegerator. Its not bad and looks nice in the house. Foaming was an issue on first pours. Bought one of those tower cooler fans. Helped a little, but wouldn’t buy it again. I use my fermentation chamber to cool my conical via water in a keg and fts. I’m dual purposing it to add 5...

Looking to make a gose, how do you guys remove the oxygen from the mash before pitching the lacto? Using the ss brewtech mash tun and fts controller.

I brew about every other week

Is harvesting and reusing your yeast worth it? If I use white labs hefe yeast, could I take a sample after fermentation and store it in a test tube refrigerated for a few months? If I capture local wild yeast will it always be sour? The reason i’m asking is because I found a complete yeast kit...

What do you mean by 1.5-2p of extract?

Gotcha. Thanks!

Describe bland and boring. No body, watery, too light, etc. I'd ditch those bittering hops and stick to late additions and whirlpool.

Once I transfer to a serving keg, would I carb it like I normally do (40psi for 24hrs, then reduce to serving psi) or would that over carb it? With daisy chaining, you would do this after fermentation is complete right?

Im picking up a ball lock and converted pin lock keg that I plan to use as my fermentation vessels to ferment under pressure. First time doing this so looking for some advice/tips? I plan to cut off about an inch of the dip tube. The spunding valve will be from brewhardware. I plan to put...
