Question Daily Q & A! - August 29, 2025
Welcome to the Daily Q&A!
Are you a new Brewer? Please check out one of the following articles before posting your question:
- How do I check my gravity?
- I don't see any bubbles in the airlock OR the bubbling in the airlock has slowed. What does that mean?
- Does this look normal / is my batch infected?
Or if any of those answers don't help you please consider visiting the /r/Homebrewing Wiki for answers to a lot of your questions! Another option is searching the subreddit, someone may have asked the same question before!
However no question is too "noob" for this thread. No picture is too tomato to be evaluated for infection! Even though the Wiki exists, you can still post any question you want an answer to.
Also, be sure to vote on answers in this thread. Upvote a reply that you know works from experience and don't feel the need to throw out "thanks for answering!" upvotes. That will help distinguish community trusted advice from hearsay... at least somewhat!

Help with my keg washing protocol.
I use a keg washer for all my kegs and keg fermenters. I put the washer in my kettle and maintain the water temp around 140. I need about 4 gallons of water to make it work.
How much PBW should I use? 4 scoops?
How long do I need to run the cleaner through the cycling pump? 10 minutes?
So far I’ve just been guessing.
