I am looking to build out a keezer. I currently have a 3 tap kegerator, but I am getting tired of the juggle whenever a keg kicks, and I would like some more space. I am looking to build a 6 keg keezer with a 7 cu. ft freezer. I know it’s right, but there are some models out there that can do...

I am starting a solera project and used a glass flask for my starter and I am using a glass fermentor in addition to a plastic one. I am already dedicating the plastic equipment to sour beer brewing, but glass should be able to be cleaned and used for non-sour beers, correct? I did a long PBW...

Are there any barrier gas lines out there that can be used with barbs? My whole setup is barbed, and I don’t want to replace everything. I am looking at Bevseal Ultra for my beer lines, but is there anything that would fit the 3/8 barbs for gas? I am deciding to do this after my perfectly fine...

I have started spunding at the end of fermentation to carbonate my beer. I brew 3 gallon batches, and I was using my Anvil brew bucket (4 gallon) and transferring to the serving keg (3 gallon) about 8 gravity points above expected final gravity. I am familiar with carbonation levels required to...

I was brewing a pumpkin ale yesterday and while the process was relatively successful, my efficiencies were much worse than expected. I brew 3 gallon batches on the 6.5 gallon Anvil Foundry. My grain bill was 7lb plus 2+ lb of canned pumpkin. The system has a limit of 8lb of grain, so I was...

Right now I use fermentation CO2 to purge my Star San filled serving keg which allows me to do low oxygen transfers. Currently when I dry hop, I do it loose in primary and when I transfer from primary to keg I use an inline filter to catch the large hop particles. Everything so far has been...

Hi All, I am working on a recipe for a Hoppy American Wheat ale. I know the BJCP guidelines top out around 0.63 BU/GU, but I’m shooting for more of an IPA vibe to this one. My question is regarding my hop schedule. First, the malt bill is 44% Pilsner, 44% red wheat, 8% Munich, and some rice...

I know that sunlight/UV is a big no-no for beer, but is it also bad for wort? I was brewing the other day in direct sunlight and thought about the possible effects it could have. So, is sunlight bad for wort, or am I alright to keep brewin’ in the warm winter sun?

I reached out to my city water department to see if they had any information on the mineral content of my home water. While I don't think I can use any of the information they provided, I have attached the city water report and a recent test they ran on my house's water. Could you help me...

I brewed a Black IPA in early November that has been in the keg now for 42 days. I brewed this using Omega's HotHead Kveik yeast at 92F. I prepared a yeast starter, but I did not pitch nutrients into the wort (OG of 1.070). The beer was smelling good at first, but about midway through...

I have read that once you add a fining agent to a keg it should not be moved. Unfortunately, my setup does not allow me to not move the kegs around. Part of me would love to fine my beers, but I am not sure if it would be beneficial since I have to move them around a few times before they kick...

I am planning to brew my first lager, a maibock, soon. I will be brewing this with a true lager yeast, not a pseudo-lager fermentation. I have temperature control and will be kegging this beer, but unfortunately I do not have the space to keep the beer refrigerated while conditioning/lagering...

I am using CO2 from fermentation to purge a Star-San filled keg and I am wondering if the CO2 solution will still be good in a few weeks after sitting open or not. I’d love to not have to mix up a batch every brew if I can help it.

I am trying to build a basic setup for closed transfers to my kegs. Right now I am thinking I can use a gas line as a blow off to the gas in on my keg. I should have more than enough headroom to avoid actual blow-off, so it should just be CO2. The keg would be full of sanitizer, and using the...

I purchased a 4-way manifold that currently has the input on the right side, and I would like to switch it to the left. It looks like the barb and end-cap are able to be unscrewed, but they are on there TIGHT. I just want to make sure it is possible before I throw it in my vice and put more...

I am trying to carbonate some water and am hearing the tank continuously running. When I take the gas valve off the keg it stops, but I cannot see or hear any leaks in the keg. Is this normal since it is starting to absorb CO2 or is this a sign of a leak? EDIT: This is a used keg with the...

Does anyone have a recommendation on places to buy/fill CO2 tanks? I live near Franklin, TN and called a spot in Columbia that quoted $25 fill/$130 new for a 5# tank. That seemed steep to me, so I wanted to check if there are other recommended spots.

Hello All, I recently bought a Kegco Fridge off Craigslist and am slowly building a kegging setup. I brew 2.5 gallon batches and based on my measurements I will be able to fit three 3 gallon kegs and one 5 gallon keg in the fridge (keeping CO2 outside). The plan is to have the 5 gallon keg with...

Hi all, I brew 2.5 gallon batches with my Anvil Foundry 6.5 and I bottle my beers (moving to kegging shortly). I have read a few articles/sections in books that mention small batch brewing can sometimes need more hops than would normally be calculated when scaling down a recipe due to...
