    Dry Hop Temperature - Different Flavours?

    My Kegs On Legs 6.8kg Tare Weight?

    I think my gas bottle is about empty (first time), when I turn the regulator on it only gives out a tiny bit of gas. Anyway I took it off and weighed it, it came out at 8.4kg but on the side of the bottle it save 7.35kg tare? From their website it says these should be 8.35kg empty. Am I...

    Kegerator - Temp Controls Not Working

    Hey All, I just noticed my kegerator temp controls are now not working (it's a craftbrewer kegerator) and the temp is now stuck on Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

    Racking Oztops

    Has anyone racked their oztops brews to a new container without loosing the fizziness? I was thinking if I could get it off the yeast and let it chill a little more it might improve with a extra week or so. I'm only thinking about 2-3 weeks from the start of ferment to drinking it so nothing...

    Non Active Yeast - 10 Days

    I pitched my dried yeast (S-189) as I always do, 10 days ago. For some reason I didn't check back to see how things were going until late last night. Nothing has happened, it has been 10 days since I pitched that yeast. Is the brew stuffed or should I pitch some more? Wasn't sure if 10 days...
