Buy two kegs and then say - here they are! You win - they win.

X3 or 4 on Austin Homebrew Supply. Though I would suggest some routine stops in Dallas to shop the LHBS while picking up good beer... you won't find a wide craft selection anywhere near Tyler to my knowledge. Here is a list of bottle shops to get the goodies from. Listed by closest to your...

Brewed this one for the 2011 Superbowl - Keged this a few days ago and it is good to go - Honestly, I had to do a side by side comparison to really tell the difference between the real deal and this one. What I would probably do different on my next batch is to add more Vienna (maybe 1#) and...

Thanks again folks - I will let you know how this one turns out.

Thanks. So fermenting in the mid 60's will lend more malty flavors? I have only had this beer a few times and don't recall there being many spiciness to it.. The heat from the ABV seemed to be very well balanced. The Regular Scaldis seems to have more heat but is also fairly well balanced.

No, probably not. I went on the cheap for my MT and have the stainless steel braided hose... I think the false bottom will also help a ton.

Rice Hulls and a freaking false bottom man... I have rigged my way into too many stuck sparges.. this is the last time!!!! Went to sparge and it was a MAJOR PITA!!!

Using beer smith it tells me to use 10Q of water for my strike water. I brought 2.5 gal (10Q) to 170 and added to my 8# of grains. 3# Flaked Barley 3# Pilsner 1# American Wheat 1# Flaked Oats Problem is that my mash is the consistancy of oatmeal - obviously! Do I add more water at...

Brew Bling!

Never-mind....search function worked great!

Heading to Diego in two weeks...cannot wait!

I doubt this seriously. Said brewpub? I bet you don't respond to this with any legitimate info.

MX1 - I did pay for keg (grinder) - I paid the asked deposit and lost the keg...? Where are you going with this?
