Thanks. Everything I've read so far says that the longer you wait the better the wine will be. This wine thing may work out well for a procrastinator like me. :)

Between buying a boat and getting married two years ago I haven't had much free time for brewing. :( I finally have some free time and got tired of looking at my empty taps. So threw a nut brown ale in the fermenter.:) Hopefully I can do a few more batches and fill all my kegs before boating...

LOL. You may not be wrong but you just have to remember that a woman is ALWAYS right.

Updated my kegerator this summer. Added two new taps and a Co2 splitter. Now have three on tap and one on deck. :mug:

Only problem I have so far with my nieghbors is keeping them away from my kegerator. :) They did mention that they want to help/learn during my next brew session. Could be the start of a neighborhood brew club.

That is beautiful!

Thats a great find. I've been keeping an eye out for one of those myself. How heavy is that thing empty?

Anyone know of any good brewpubs in Manhattan?

Oh you opened up a can of worms here :) Everyone has a different way to carb. I've done two batches so far and just put them in the kegerator at 40 degrees and 12 psi. They both carbed up and were ready to drink in a couple weeks.

Cave Creek Chili Beer is by far the worst I've ever had. I bought two 22oz bottles of this stuff about 13 years ago in AZ. Tried drinking one and the other is still sitting on a shelf in my house as a reminder never to try something like that again. Love this review of it. "like licking...

About 15 years ago someone handed me a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I was hooked on microbrew but still drank some bmc. 5 years ago I took my first trip to Munich and spent a month drinking Augustiner Helles and Franziskaner Weissbier. Haven't been able to drink bmc since :)

Chillers are fairly easy to build. I made one right before my first batch. Cost me $30 and was worth every penny. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/wort-chiller-build-231734/ Price out the copper first to make sure its not cheaper to buy one pre-made online. I know the price of the...
