Hi, I have a keg of Stone and Wood clone on tap for about 3 weeks. Suddenly the aroma has completely disappeared, where before it was quite strong. The aroma mainly came from a large dry hop of galaxy at day 5 in the fermentation. But what I was wondering is there a reason it would suddenly...

Hi All, I have kept my co2 gas tank and regulator in my keg fridge all the regular kegland products. It now has rust or corrosion (attached pics) and just wondering if people think its possible due keeping it in the fridge? Or would it be due to something else? I also haven't taken them apart...

Hi, Bought a few packs of Safale Dry Yeast. I accidentally put them in the freezer instead of the fridge. Would they still be good or could freezing it kill it off? Thanks!

Hi, I was washing a keg yesterday before transfer and first I washed it with PBW and then rinsed with Starsan. I normally rinse the PBW with water before sanitizing with Starsan. Do you think there will be any issues if I didn't rinse the PBW first before sanitizing? Should I expect...

I've just plugged in my Keg Master series X and it has hit temp 0c. But I'm looking more for 2c or 4c how do I set the temperature? I push the hotter or colder buttons but I'm not sure what they are doing... Anyone with some experience on how to dial in the temps with this fridge would be...

Hey, I'm wondering what people have been doing with the top hole of their SS brewtech bucket lid? The bung I received seems to quite easily push through the hole, I'm not sure if this is normal as I have never used one before? I have lightly pushed the bung in and just covered in it in glad...

Hey All So I purchased a grainfather today and was wondering if someone who has one can help answer my question. There seems to be a plastic insert close to the pump, thermowell. I'm unsure if its sitting correctly or if it's just packaging to remove? As it seems incorrect to have plastic...

Hi All, I have one of the 70l pots from Craftbrewer that I was using for BIAB. I have recently moved to a new place, and in the process lost the lid for the pot. Thinking it may have flew out of the truck.. anyway I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on: a) where it's possible to get a...

Don't know if this has been posted, but scientists are looking at creating synthetic yeast. Not really sure what that would mean for beer, maybe I could get a yeast that would produce all types of funny flavours...

So I was going to brew this morning, last night I dissembled and put back together my ball valve for the second time. This time I have put it together at first it appeared to be leaking out the end, so I tried to redo it, now it seems to be leaking at the two end connectors or where they meet...

So I've been no-chilling my last 3 batches in a jerry can 20l cube. When I add the hot wort and close the lid it swells quite dramatically to the point I close the garage door and run for it :) Quick question how many times do you use a cube before retiring it and moving on? or is there no real...

Hey, so I'm going to throw down a Dr Smurto Landlord this weekend. I have hopefully a very newbie question, it is my first time using liquid yeast. How long before my brew do I smack the wyeast smack pack? Also at what temperature do I keep it at during that time between smacking and pitching...

Quick question on krausen colouring, I used us-05 I normally receive quite a dirty brown and thick krausen. This time for some reason it looks quite frothy and white, like soap bubbles or star san foam. Is this normal or is there a chance it is still star san foam 3 days after I pitched?

Well I think the article says it all boy band Hanson launches a beer. My only hope is it's not a hit, sorry Hanson. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2013/05/28/hanson-beer-album-tour/2367315/

Quick question regarding a 2400w immersion element. If i hang it off the side of my pot it will be touching the side walls. Is this an issue? (stainless pot) Should I be finding a way to hang it over the middle?

Hey, Quick question I had made a beer the recipe is below. It had been bottle conditioning for 2 weeks and it was delicious, I would say quite similar Feral HopHog. Anyway now it's been there 3 weeks bottle condition at about 19c-20c, the hop flavour and aroma seems to be replaced by what I can...

quick question, I have a brew that finished a couple of points above calculated FG so 1.015 instead of 1.013. I bottled and it has been conditioning for a week and a half. Tonight I got worried I might have made some PET rockets so I decided to open one to check pressure which gushed to the...

Hey All, Just bought a willow water container 20l to put in my bar fridge for fermenting. My issue is that the bottom thread where you screw in the tap, seems to not be open? As in there is plastic covering where it should open up into the container. Is this how they normally come and I have...

Just noticed Core Brewing Concepts seem to have Citra & Amarillo hops on their website, also they are doing free shipping. (always nice) They don't say what season.. though they have just come in.

Quick question on crystal grain making an Dr Smurto Golden Ale. If I order Caramunich 1 malt milled, how long will I have to use it? If you can prolong the life of it how? And how long may it last? Thanks
