It will definitely be used up within a month. So in the case it sounds like I'm good to buy in a #50 sack

I was thinking of buying a #50 bag of 2 row to save money and have my LHBS crush at the time i buy it. I was wondering if that was a stupid idea. I have always been taught to buy it the day before or day of to get the best beer. It would be stored in a airtight pet food container...

So I'm assuming you started off with at least 75-100k in buying all of your things to start off with a 1.5 barrel system. Does that sound about right?

How much if you don't mind me asking do you think you've put in to start up and additionally since you've started up? Also was hard to get the accounts going and people to start taking on your beer? For example did you allow people to do a "test run"

It's funny how they make you pay for shipping and taxes in my 5 or so kickstarters that I've been in this has never happened. Ever.

I also had wonderful resources where I was. And was friends with all the brew shop people

Thousand Oaks CA aka So Cal. I am a member of the Maltose Falcons aka the oldest home brewing club in America. So it's pretty different up here. Different prices, temperatures, water etc.

Apparently dawn says there's a hazmat fee every single time you get a refill no matter how big or small.. Which I've never heard of but where else am I going to go haha. I just don't want to keep blowing through money since I'm a college student.

30 dollars? For how big of a tank? It was shocked it was $26 for 5 lbs I'm use to paying $10.

Thanks! Chico is amazing! Gotta to love chico state :) We'll you see the thing is I have my own co2 tanks.. Both are either brand new or basically brand new :/ do you think it would be cheaper to "buy" one of those c02 tanks because I am not giving up my brand new ones. And if so how much would...

Hi guys, So I was wondering I just moved to chico for school and ran out of co2 because I had a kegerator leak... Got it filled up at the home brew shop in town. And didn't think anything of it when the owner said she had a paintball set up. Should I be worried this isn't food grade co2...

So I found the leak.. it wasn't on the home brew set up it was on the Sierra Nevada Sanke set up. So I put teflon tape around the screw in point and used a couple of wrenchs to screw it on tight. Checked it again and no bubbles! Checked all the other connection points and lids on the home brew...

@DrunkleJon This is the kind of regulator I have.. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/twoproduct/premium_double_gauge_5422.html It has this for the co2 tubing.. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/hoses/airtubing/ALA516-5_air_line_snap_clamps_assembly.shtml As soon as I get...

Is it possible to do the starsan/ soapy water test without co2 being pumped through? Because as of right now I'm completely out of co2 and the LHBS is closed till Tuesday.

Hi guys, so I just made my first kegerator a couple of weeks ago its all set up with home brew on one side and sierra nevada pale ale on the other. Well it has already blown through 5 lbs of co2 in the 3-4 weeks that we have used it. And my roommates and I use it ocasionally but we have yet to...
