What do you think? Should Co2 tanks be cleaned before refilling? Now of course we don't do this your LHBS does or is so post to. I have read something some where thet they are so post to be flushed out every so often . Anyone heard of this?

The inside of my stainless kettle is really turning dark brown form all the boils I've done. Is there any cleaner out there that can help clean this off maybe PBW or Oxyclean? Thanks

I've done a little experimenting with these 2 malts. Brewed the same recipe using 9.25lbs of grain 3.5gal strike water 7gal infusion water looking to achieve 9gal of wort in the kettle before boiling. Now with the Briess i got my 9Gal no problem. But with the Rahr i came up 1gal short...

How long should harvested yeast be good for? I've had some that where like 6-months old and worked great with a good starter and fermented out perfectly. Others i've dumped cause they where a year old and it looked like something was growing on the bottom of the jar. Any one else notice...

Hi Guys, l’m a long time reader but this is my first post. I've been brewing now for over 5yrs so I'm not exactly a beginner. But i got a recipe that's giving me fits. This is a recipe I've been playing with and i can't get it to completely ferment out. The recipe is simple.. 30% 6-row...
