So i think the fermentation has stalled (in the last 2 days it went from 1.020 to 1.019 and finally is now at 1.018). I have tried jostling the keg and that seemed to help. This is the same brew as in my earlier post. According to spunding valve the pressure is ~10 psi and will sometimes...

Hi All, this is my first time fermenting in a keg and I am at 48 hours with no activity using the WLP-0002 English ale yeast. Temperature is 66-67 which is within the recommended temp range. I have read online that some people have had to wait 3-4 days for the yeast to get started. The...

Tomorrow i am brewing and will be doing my first pressure fermentation in a 5 gallon keg. Apart from ensuring I only fill to ~4.5 gallons (i also got some fermcap-c) should I attach a blowoff tube for the first few days and then switch to the spunding valve at 10 psi? Any tips or suggestions?

So I made not the best choice when storing a bunch of hop pellets i bought at discount when my LHBS closed. I kept them at room temperature in the dark (closet) for a little over a year and just now transferred them to the freezer. I did use two of the varieties when i brewed in September and...

Maybe i am blind but I have looked on the websites for komos, kegco and amazon and cant find the Y fitting I need. I need a Y fitting that connects to the komos regulator that is female to two male threaded ends (1/4”). That way I can attach to the main line via a duo tight fitting and the other...

I could probably research myself but thought I’d ask on here. Do you have any recommendations on companies that make tap handles? Would like to support a small business if possible.

So tomorrow I am brewing a Belgian Blonde and the recipe calls for 0.5 lbs cane sugar. I copied from a recipe to build the current recipe i will be following. What is the best time to add the sugar? I do see some recipes say late kettle boil addition , does that mean the last 10 minutes of the...

Hello, Me and my friend are going to do a side by side brew, one will use Voss Kviek and the other will use Lutra Kviek. What do you think? https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1501309/-belgian-farmhouse-blond-ale

Since summer is coming we were thinking of trying out one of the Kveik yeast strains in a wheat beer recipe since we don't want to worry about temperature control. Any tips, previous experience or recipe's with the Kveik yeast strains?

So after disassembling, cleaning the interior parts and reassembling the gauges looked normal for over 20 hours. The fill gauge was at ~1000 psi and pressure gauge was set to ~10 (and moved up and down with the knob). Came home and the gauges look like this and the pressure gauge does not change...

When my lhbs closed recently I bought a secondary triple regulator and the guy gave me the wrong size tubing so ill need to get some 5/16 tubing to attach to the regulator and 5/16 duotight fittings. However i am not sure how to attach the regulator to the line coming from the primary regulator...

Has anyone done both methods for the same recipe? How did the beer turn out ? How do you sparge using the bag or do you skip that step? Curious to get a bag and try it. What are the benefits to BIAB other than it being easier to remove the grains from the wort?

So how do you clean the gas regulator… do i have to clean it immediately? i made the mistake of overfilling the keg and when turning down the pressure and I burped the regulator valve and beer went out the valve, doh! The good news is my irish red ale is carbonated and tastes good haha!

So i have read online that the tilt is not accurate, especially during the beginning of fermentation due to the krausen. The tilt showed 1.043 whereas my hydrometer showed 1.061 (the recipe called for an OG of 1.052) and I was surprised at how different the OG was compared to my hydrometer at...

So I have a large copper coil chiller from my earlier brew kit and the one that came with the brewzilla. I currently use both in tandem by placing both in pots filled with ice and it works fairly ok. However I am thinking of using one as an immersion chiller by connecting to the kitchen faucet...

Hi Everyone, I recently bottled my recent brew (Vanilla Porter) from the tap and for some reason some of the bottles the beer was cloudy. The bottles I used were recently drank from and I cleaned them out with dawn followed by multiple rinses followed by diluted star san. My theory is that...

So I did a Vanilla porter this morning and my pre-boil gravity was 1.050 based on the hydrometer reading at room temp. Once the boil was done i took another reading and it was the same. My tilt is also reading the same as well. What could have happened? Apart from a lower ABV i think I am ok. I...

https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1433453/vanilla-porter Still tweaking the recipe but not sure what is the best way to add vanilla beans (end of boil, in primary fermenter?) and how many beans to add . I am wanting to have a biscuity caramel flavor with a hint of vanilla.

So i did a Rye Kolsch a few weeks ago and from the few samples from the keg I can detect a slight corn taste and its sweet. This was an experimental brew so I wasn't sure what to expect. All in all its pretty tasty and creamy though sweeter than I expected. after cold crashing + 2 day Diacetyl...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v= Sooo…I have the worst luck! :( I was following the advice in the video and right as i opened the top the rubber seal fell in the beer. . Luckily i have a second keg that i was able to swap lids. Hopefully it won’t affect the beer, has this happened to anyone else...
