It has a few dents, but it works. Doesn't have to be pretty as it'll be in my garage.

All setup. Just have to keg the beer tomorrow.

you're going to want a drip tray
I wish I had the courage to drill through the side of my fridge, but I know I'll hit a cooling line

No cooling line in the side of this one. They are all in the back.
Drip tray will be a later purchase.

Back on that home brewing horse. Feels so good!

Hop oils calculator
Hop oils calculator. Gives you an idea of your hop profile based on your hop additions. Neat for seeing what your profile might come out like with combinations of hops.
Not sure how accurate it is. But fun to play around with.

Help! I made an abbey ale, it was 10 days primary, 3 weeks in the secondary about 10 days in the bottle. I decided to try one, it is completely flat. Alcohol is about 10%. Is the alcohol content why it has no carbonation? It may be the best beer I ever made, except for being flat. Should I add sugar to the bottles? Those tablets? Or give it time.

What did you bottle with? Corn sugar? How much?
It typically would take me about 2 to 3 weeks before my beer was fully carbed. Alcohol content shouldn't matter. What was your FG?
Eta: also, what temp did you bottle condition at?

Thanks for the reply! I bottled with 3/4 corn sugar, and bottle conditioned at about 70 degrees. The finishing gravity was 1.018. My beer usually is carbed at around 10-14 days. I know it is too soon, but there ought to be some action here...
Posted on 11/22/15 at 6:49 pm to TigerSTPelurker
I'd give it another 5 days or so before trying to do anything else.

The higher the abv the longer it can take to carb IMO. And Belgian yeast likes warm temps. I would kick the temp up to 75 and turn each bottle upside down for a count of 5 to stir the yeast. I bottled an ipa that was at 8%....helped a buddy brew it... It took nearly a month to carb....not good for an ipa....which is why I keg.

So, i'm all kegged up. It took me awhile to finally get everything together and i tested and retested to make sure my keg was holding pressure.
So, last night, i set my regulator to 28 psi. When i get back home from work, i will bleed out the pressure in the keg, and then set it to the correct pressure for style, which is about 9 psi, for 3 to 4 days. Then i will set it to 4 or 5 psi to serve after that.
I'm now seeing some flaws in my design. Need to build a shelf or a drip tray so it doesn't drip on my tank or CO2 lines. Pretty easy thing to build, altogether. I didn't build a shelf inside the fridge, because the existing shelf worked fine, but, with the quick disconnects and all hoses connected it's getting pretty tight. That, and i may have to remove some shelving to fit another keg in there.

Cool little calculator. Apparently the beer I brewed the other day is going to be a Humulene bomb.

My IPA i plan to brew next is a myrcene (46%) and Humulene (16.5%) bomb. The idea is for a piney resinous IPA. So i guess i got the right hops picked out. Chinook, Simcoe, and Columbus.

Oh yeah, for whatever reason I thought that was Bottomland's setup when I read this last.
Sorry.

Question: If i wanted to bottle straight from the tap, a couple of bottles, and just cap them, how long will they stay carbonated?
Planning for thanksgiving, of filling up my big growler. Going to try and grab a couple smaller growlers from La Homebrew but the website says they are out of stock. Curious if filling bottles from the tap would cause too much co2 to be lost.
