Thanks pal, I'll go with that! Appreciate the advice!

Hi folks Looking for some guidance on kegging. This extract hit calls for 2 weeks active fermentation, then 2 weeks secondary. Then at bottling you add the lime sugar etc However.... I'm kegging. How should I approach this?

Ok brilliant, let me try that in the AM. Thanks for the guidance! Im a complete noob at this but learning day by day, your feedback is really appreciated.

I think I was probably not sober or not reading the hydro correctly!! :) When I checked it, I had just added the yeast so I want to say about 80F. But honestly, after your info, I genuinely dont know if I used they hydro correctly or read it correctly. Anything I can do now to check it without...

'if you're saying it was 1.017, and your final gravity was 1.008 (on a triple scale 1% but that's supposed to be subtracted from first reading) then i'd say the extract wasn't mixed into it throughly for the first reading....' Sorry yes. This. Still learning how to read the hydrometer! :-)

Im using an OLD hydrometer. Should I just order a new Refractometer? I have my numbers as 1.17 gravity when I tried it before fermentation.

Hi guys, New member here, I started my first extract kit a couple of weeks ago and hoping you can help me. I got the Northern Brewers Chinook IPA Everything went well at brewing stage, transferred to a 5g carboy and it was bubbling nicely for a few days I had a foam over. I think I dealt with...

Hi guys, anybody got any recommendations on video series for learning about brewing? Made my first extract kit but I feel like I learned nothing (other than how to follow instruction) lol

Sometimes I might need something light with breakfast lol

Here's mine. As an Irishman living in NJ, I was very sad that the Guinness was so hit and miss around the area. So I solved it by putting my own one at home! :-)

A long time has passed and I realized I never updated this! So it's all finished (for now). I have two towers. One is strictly for Guinness and the other I rotate with whatever I have at a given time. I added castors to allow it to be moved outside for parties and summer time etc. I added...

Hey guys, really hoping you can help. I did a great nitro set up, was really proud but in one day my 5lb of gas is empty. I must have a leak! I have a new regulator here ready to swap out, it may have been it. However on this gas line connector, am I missing a gasket or o ring? It's just...

Couple of updates on this. It slowed down over the week but back at it this weekend. After taking the advice above I built the 'box' on three sizes, but I fitted small inch fan each side pointing down, in an attempt to deflect any heat that might gather on those sides, out through the bottom...

Hi guys, Some of you may have seen my other thread (which will be updated today) but I am looking for some advice on a few items for my Guinness set up. I want to buy my U Coupler (damn they are pricey) I was going to buy 3/16th vinyl beer tubing. Will this tubing be the same size for the...

Updated to give more info on what I mean. Panel front and two sides and build some sort of bar top.....
