Okay, I'm confused. Read a bunch threads here, and comments. Looked at a few videos on you tube, but still dumbified. I already sanitized my 5 gal corn ball lock keg. When I transfer my IPA into the keg, and right below the gas in tube, according to the chart storing this beer at 36F...

When you account for a 3 or a 5 Day Dry Hop Time, do you typically Dry hop for those 3 to 5 Days then Cold Crash for say 2 Days, or do you also figure in those cold crash days into the 3 to 5 day Dry hop. i.e. Dry Hop 1 Day, Cold Crash 2 Days for the 3 Day? Makes sense for me to do 3 days of...

Hi, so...I did this light Lemon Ale recipe once before in as a 6 gal batch. I liked it so much I tried to double it up for a larger batch. Originally I thought it was juuuuuust a little too light bodied. By mistake for my second larger batch I didn't sparge enough and ran short to my Boil...

I am doing a 10 gal (9 actual Gal)batch in my SS Brew Chron (14 Gal) and didn't think about my FTS coil being able to be deep enough in the ferm to make contact with the wort. I should have changed the recipe to make more beer so the coil would be more submerged. So here's my question. I...

I was suppose to bottle at the end of this week, but now I have a last minute trip I'll have to take. The scheduled 7 day dry hop would be extended to 14. Is there a "no no" for this or does it not matter? Thanks

I've used PBW a few times and had a small jar that I used on my SS BRew Buckets. But looking at the instructions I would have to use a hell of a lot should I be reading right for use on say my 20 gal kettle, or larger 15 gal Chronical. Am I filling my 20 gal kettle full of water to soak...

I want to make a bigger batch of a Session IPA that I've done before in the past but wondering if I have to do something different when doubling or do I just double? The original recipe is for bath size of 7 gal (and everything below) Boil size 8.2 gal @ 60min 10 lbs of 2-row .6 Crystal...

Adjusting my first new 3-roller mill. Is this where I should/want to be?

I've read some threads here and thought I would ask it more direct, because it's always confused me being new the all grain process. I've been fly-sparging (Gravity Feed), 5 gallon and most recently 10 gallon batches. See if I can word this right. No matter what volume batches I'm doing...

I recently bought two SS Brew Tech FTS Setups for my 14Gal Chronical, and 5 gal Brew Bucket. I've used both FTS systems each once and on one of them after use I noticed that the cake on from the fermentor was stuck on the SS Cooling coil, more so and on harder than the other, where cleaning...

Hi, Looking to pick up a Kegerator and finally get into kegging. I've been buying products form Morebeer online and have been pretty Happy here on the west coast with them. I was looking at their dual tap Kegerator but couldn't find any reviews. Anyone have one or experience with theirs...

I'm an IDIOT! I just dumped my trub on the bottom valve for the second time about to cold crash and I forgot to take out the air line. As you can see in th epic I have an open glass cup instead of an airlock and about 1 cup of water that was mixed with star san that was sitting open air...

Hi all, This is my largest batch to date and using a 14 gallon SS BrewTech Fermentor. I'm getting ready to add the dry hops for my IPA. I've read a couple of different threads and I'm a little confused. Should I use the bottom valve and drain the yeast then dry hop, or just dry hop and leave...

Quick question. I've seen and read during batch sparging people will stir and move the grains, letting the grain settle transferring to the kettle. Is the same done for for Fly Sparging? After I let mash for say 1 hour, do I give it a quick stir, let it settle, Vourlof, then fly sparge...

I live in San Diego CA, and most of the time throughout the whole year it's about 72-75 ambient room temperature. I have been brewing a lot of IPA's and Pal Ales. I was looking into possibly buying a few temperature controls for my SS Brew Buckets and now SS 14 Gal Chronical Fermenter...

Hi Guys and Gals, I just started getting into All-Grain from Extract and have 3 batches under my belt so far, I like light and bitter IPA's and Pale Ales as a preference. I'd appreciate it if anyone has the time to take a quick look at this post and let me know what I can do better, improve...

First time sharing anything and haven't been on this forum for a long time but thought I would share come Wooden Beer Carriers that I made for a couple of Christmas batches that our family will be giving out to neighbors and family. Though I did these fast and last minute, 4 pack and 6...

Do any San Diego people here know who I can take my (15 gallon kegs) from my high school days to locally, and have them converted over for brewing beer?

I'm swithcing over to AG beer after tasting a few made by friends and found the taste I've been looking for. I've been doing the usual stove top process and now understanding the AG is a completely different setup and process. I read that I will need at least a 9-10gal kettle for boilover...
