Thanks! If you may be interested, just let me know. :)

Hey guys. I'm looking to trade my Axis single tap tower (actual tap pictured below) for a 2 or 3-tap tower. I also added a link of the tap... Any takers? http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/towers/singlefaucet/c515_axis_chrome_beer_tower.shtml

I have a small issue with them. They are selling a certain kegerator that's a scratch n' dent deal. Pretty good price. BUT, they tack on an additional $26 for the shipping ($99 to $125). It's the SAME shipping, from the SAME place. That's a pretty shady way to recoup money they claim...

I've been looking at the 309B-1 and I'm ready to pull the trigger. It looks like a great unit. There's so little information out there, in terms of reviews, in Googleville on it though. I'm a little gun shy.

You can buy caramel extract, just like cinnamon extract. For my syrup I used both. I haven't tasted the final product yet (still carbing in the keg), but the syrup was fanfriggintastic!!!

Just kegged up a half barrel, and had just enough left over to fill three 2 quart soda bottles to freeze for apple jack. Woo-hoo!!! :D

This is all I've done. Works perfectly fine.

Even though I've read it here hundreds of times, people don't listen. Airlock activity is NOT a reliable way to assess fermentation. Why do people still do it??? 1.022 is way high for FG.

The priming sugar would have little to no impact on flavor, only carbonation. Let it sit a bit longer and your carb amounts should come around. I don't see anything to suggest a huge mistake that would affect flavor. Are you sure you sanitized correctly?

I just checked on mine a few minutes ago. The orange-ish milkiness is gone and it's starting to clear nicely. It's at about 10 days in primary. I'll take a reading next weekend and hopefully keg it up.

It's fine and it will clear. If you're hellbent on dumping it, then send it to me. I've made 5 gallons before and currently have three 5-gallon buckets fermenting to fill a half barrel. All looked like yours once fermentation kicked off. You really need to switch to decaf. :D

I think all the yeast in suspension cloud it up quite a bit and give it that yellow hue.

To me, all of those extracts taste like harsh cough syrup. Blech! Can you try cans of FCPJ instead?

Subscribed.

I'm about to make another batch. I picked up another bottle of cinnamon extract yesterday and saw they (Wal-Mart) had a caramel extract as well. I'm going to play with that in the syrup along with the cinnamon. Anyone experiment with this?
