• Posted in thread: Kegging Pressure - Naturally Carb on 07-27-2012 at 07:12 PM
  That keg's going to have to be cold for the C02 produced by fermentation carbonation to
  dissolve into the liquid. When I do a keg this way I let it sit at room temperature for a
  couple of weeks, then ...

• Posted in thread: Considering dumping my first kegged batch on 04-26-2012 at 04:18 PM
  Check your tap. I had a moldy cobra tap I didn't know about and I got a horrible off flavor
  from it. There was a sizable green chunk inside the tap body.

• Posted in thread: Kombucha in stainless corny keg? on 04-26-2012 at 03:37 PM
  A local company in Vermont sells their Kombucha in bulk out of kegerators. I've never opened
  one up to look but I'm pretty sure they are distributing from sixtels or sankes. If you click
  on "wholesale...

• Posted in thread: Not at fg after 14 days. on 01-31-2012 at 04:49 PM
  I'd just let it sit. I've been following what appears to be conventional HBT wisdom and doing
  4-6 week primaries and have been very happy with the results.

  cry from wo...

• Posted in thread: Best Pizza Dough recipe (non-breadmaker) on 01-23-2012 at 05:29 PM
  If you like pizza and making it at home, buy a mixer. I bought mine when I was a year out of
  college and have had it for 11 years now and I don't regret such a big outlay ever. 4 cups of
  flour (more o...

• Posted in thread: Careful with Glass Carboys on 01-23-2012 at 12:37 PM
  Every glass carboy I have lives in a milk crate. I only take them out of the crates for

  broke right that m...

• Posted in thread: Do your wives get mad? on 12-23-2011 at 02:19 PM

  debt" five years ago to "no bad debt, good jobs, and a house and a kid" last year. Money still
  has to be ...
