I absolutley prefer Austin Homebrew Supply. While I was deployed in the Gulf, Forrest allowed me to purchase a bunch of stuff and then he held it in his warehouse for a few months, yes months, until I got home from the deployment. I was able to buy stuff during a pretty darn good sale and get...

Look at this month's BYO magazine. Beermuncher has a very nice article about his rolling keggerator he made to hold 3 kegs. It would probably be perfect for what you want. It is also probably here on the site but I am too tired to effectively use the search function....

I went straight to kegging and skipped the bottles. It is an expense, but I feel WELL worth it. I bought a 4-tap system that included a CO2 tank and 4 cornies, all the hoses, 4 shanks and 4 taps for abpout $500 shipped to me from www.kegconnection.com . Bottles are fine, if you like cleaning...

I am assuming that you are force carbing your kegs? I would leave it at 15psi, off of the gas connection and put it in a 70-ish degree room to sit and condition. I guess you can leave it in the keggorator and let it cold condition, but that will just take longer and leave you with the itch to...

Just wait. October 2nd marks 22 years for me. You go from 5 years to 20 years in the blink of an eye it seems. One suggestion I always give people is to NEVER stop working towards your degree and a possible commission. It does not matter if it takes you 4 years or 15 years, you will still...

My ex-SWMBO was sick 24/7 for the entire pregnancy...until we figured out a couple of things..... 1. When she was hungry, she needed to eat. No matter what time it is or what the hunger craving was for, she had to eat. This led to me always having 2 containers of Orange Chicken in the...

I must say that this is a fantastic program. One of the most valuable things I have learnd through all of this is just how good homebrew can be. Everything I have received as a gift has been fantastic. I have had the opportunity to sample about 15 different types of beer, wine, and cider...

Hey Orfy, The Link to the Easy Partial Mash by Deathbrewer actually points to the Salty Dawg Pub webpage, not a brewing tutorial....

Bump... Nobody wants to admit they live in Albuquerque? Man, how are we going to get mass purchases made, how are we going to have one heck of a fine BBQ and sampling session?

I can easily get temps to 50 degrees iin my garage in Albuquerque when the temps are in the upper 90s outside using my ghetto cooling tank. I am sure if you were more aggressive with the frozen bottles of water you could get the temps you need. Cake. Link...

No problem BB. Just take the plunge and go AG. I did and life if very good. Beers taste great and it really is not that hard.

I thought I was done drinking for the night....but now I need another just to make sure my lips will never touch theirs....

Posted this three times and have not seen it come up yet, so if there are dupes, could a Mod please delete the extra posts? I made this tonight. Of course did not follow OP's exact recipe..... boiled about 40 cloves of garlic with 1.5 pounds of sugar for about 20 minutes, added can of...

Making Cake's Stout. Threw together a bunch of stuff I had on-hand with the intentions of making a nice dark beer. Coming along nicely. Last 15 minutes of the boil now.

I am up in Albuquerque.
