I keg as well and for the most part that serves me well, nothing like walking up to the fridge and pouring a nice cold pint. I do have some glass growlers that also serve the purpose but I find them a bit cumbersome and I'm always afraid of them breaking when I take them to gatherings etc. I...

I just bought a cannular pro system and a filling station, just wondering what the options are for buying cans. BSG, Vessel etc? Anyone interested in a group buy, splitting a skid possibly?

we are on a very large limestone shelf here so the natural water is fairly hard, I am on city water so chlorine is a consideration and I don't have campden tabs because I use RO normally. The hard water makes great corn liquor though!

I'll be using RO water so water will need to be adjusted, I typically brew IPA styles and have a pretty good feel for the adjustments for that style but I'm trying to use the advanced water chemistry and I'm not certain which profile to choose. Any suggestions for a stout 10 lb 2 row 1 lb pale...

seems to be a little low, I don't mill my own grain yet so I'm wondering if the kits I buy could stand another trip through a mill to bump up my efficiency.

Thanks for the response, temperature is very easy to control and holds temp automatically within a degree or two, I haven't seen huge temp swings during a brew session, I am recirculating, recipe amounts are the same as before water volume is very similar as well. I'm going to run a recipe that...

So I decided to switch from a fairly primitive propane system to electric to make brewing in the winter months a little more appealing, I bought a 20 gallon brew in a basket system from clawhammer supply. This system works very nice however I feel like I may have made too big of a jump, I was...

The Plaato sensor is an airlock style design whereas the tilt unit goes directly into your fermentation vessel. Plaato also offers a keg sensor that helps keep track of volume of beer left in the keg, temperature, optional co2 monitoring etc, the airlock unit is a completely seperate device. it...

do you have a link to the "beer machine"?

curious how many here are using one and what their opinion is about it. https://plaato.io/

So I inherited a fridge from a neighbor which will allow me to move my keg setup to the garage rather than the basement, the plan is to run taps in the door but I am wondering what to do about bugs, etc crawling around and potentially into the taps. is this an issue at all? I assume flies, bees...

This may have been brought up before and I apologize if I overlooked it but does brewers friend have or maybe should have a classifieds section for equipment? I believe that there is always a need (yeah right) to upgrade your brewhouse, I've had pretty good feedback on the beer I have made so...

Update, after a few days of inactivity in the airlock I decided to do a FG check to see where I was at. The recipe suggested 1.009 to 1.011, I would say I'm pretty much spot on so I'm going to cold crash today.

Thanks for the responses, I think I'll wait until the weekend at least, maybe even next week before I do anything. Interesting to see some of the different methods used.

As the intro suggests I'm looking for input regarding when you consider fermentation to be complete. For example, I just brewed a blonde ale on Saturday, pitched the yeast (dry) Saturday afternoon and by midnight it was starting to bubble in the airlock. Sunday and Monday had pretty vigorous...
