After maybe 15 brews I took apart 3 ball valves and looked inside. What I found wasn't horrifying but there was some dark stuff that needed to be cleaned. One was worse than the others. Soaked for 24 hours and brushed most off. What I'm wondering is, should I lube the teflon fittings when i...

I'm already on those Coronado Weekend Vibes and it's only lunch on Monday!

This is an awesome story. Good for you and anyone else who is diving in. I brewed 1 kit and started making my own 5 gallon recipe designs. Self trained and 250+ gallons later, trial and error, the knowledge and confidence have risen. The biggest jump was when i put together a 1 BBL electric...

Knowing you all are right and to error on the side of caution is the smart choice, this chipped 6 gallon carboy will be retired. I have already purchased a 7 gal chronical and am looking at a 15 gal. The 7 gal plastic Speidel is only a back up, as I don't like plastic. Now, let's hear any good...

I know that breaking a carboy is a dangerous risk and am always careful. The other day i chipped the top of one of my 6 gallon glass carboys (see photo below). Now i am wondering if it's worth the risk of using this one anymore or am i up against an even weaker carboy that will be more...

Do you mean drop them in the fermentor at day 16 and then rack to corny at day 20?

I have 4.5 gallons of some American Ale i want to add some fresh mosaic hops into. OG 1.058 It began bubbling yesterday with Nottingham yeast and seems to be happy. It had Mosaic hop pellet additions at 6m but i want to add these fresh hops so I'm thinking of upon transfer of fermented wort into...

Coronado Brewings Weekend Vibes again!

I thought about beer all day at work while I was looking at girls so then I came home and had some.

odele! atta boyee.

Anyways, OG was 1.043 and FG today was 1.010 for about 4.4 ABV. I put this 5 gallons in a corny keg today and carbed. They aren't hoppy so I'm guessing they will be for micheladas. Got another 10 gallons to send to cornys tomorrow. One will be a mango and the other I'm not sure yet.

I did but this glub happened before the hop additions. i'm pretty sure these are proteins that seeped out and never got the right temps and then got quickly heated. Some broke down into smaller chunks in the boil, i abandoned some and the rest settled in the carboys.
