So I’ve had an RIS aging in a keg for about a year. I put it in my keezer to chill and carbonate so I could transfer it to bottles. I’ve had it chilled and on gas for 10 days at 12 psi and it was still flat. Yesterday I bumped it up to 30 psi and checked it after 24 hours. Still completely flat. I know that high gravity beers don’t always have good head retention, but it’s not even a little bit fizzy. I’ve checked for leaks with starsan 2 times and couldn’t find one. I disconnected both QDs earlier to see if it’s still holding pressure tomorrow. Has anyone had a similar problem or have any ideas to troubleshoot this? I was thinking of doing the high carb and shake method? submitted by /u/crookedstave4 [link] [comments]

I recently moved and my new house doesn’t have a faucet that will work with my PUR faucet system. As such, I now have an ample supply of PUR filters just sitting here. I was thinking I could possibly make use of them for my brewing water. I guess I have a couple of questions. ​ Is there an advantage to using a PUR water filter for my brewing water? Has anyone adapted a PUR water filter to work with a garden hose? ​ I’d hate for all these filters to go to waste. 😉 submitted by /u/ABQFlyer [link] [comments]

Has anyone dug into the new IPAs from The Answer yet? I know they got a new brewer maybe a year ago and their IPA game has went way up. My two favorite from them currently is Summer Showers and You Put Your Wheat In There. I’m assuming the wheat one is around 70% 2 row 30% Wheat malt. Something like Triple Crossing. But the Summer Shower one is a mystery to me. It’s so balanced and fluffy. The color is strawish so can’t be too many crystal malts in there. submitted by /u/AlmostUber [link] [comments]

Finally knocked this project off my Covid to-do list and super happy how it turned out. Installed my edgestar kegerator into my kitchen island. Filled the gap between the kegerator and the counter top with some insulation panel wrapped in that silver aluminum tape with the smallest hole possible for the liquid out tubing. Added extra pipe insulation in the tower since I didn’t have space to blow cold air up the tower. Cabinet has about 3” of space surrounding the kegerator and plenty of ventilation. Added a small project fan inside to keep air flowing. Currently on tap… sparkling lemon water 😭. Brew day in a few weeks while I wait out the California heat. https://imgur.com/gallery/ot0ad2X submitted by /u/mattmmax [link] [comments]

Hey all! I just finished a Kottbusser and I really like how it turned out! But it being a fairly rare commercial style and being forbidden.jpg I’m having trouble finding anything to compare it to as far as how it “should” taste, look and smell like online. Has anyone else brewed it or had it anywhere to compare? submitted by /u/lifeinrednblack [link] [comments]
