East Farmingdale (Suffolk) here. Brewing for 2 years. Doing partial mash brews. Done Ales and Lagers. I keg all of my brews and have a 4 tap (for now) keezer. Nothing like brewing your own beer.

Any variation for Partial Mash. Raging is great but can't go FB. Thanks.

Simple answer? As much as will fit after your ball(s) are in it. Sorry. Childish but couldn't resist.

Ordered my 10gal. Planning an IPA to test it out. Thanks for the deal.

I'm in

I'd be interested. Let me know thanks.

There is no cure for green beer. Believe me I know from experience. I'd agree with Juan that let it ferment out. Set carb to 2-3 times the serving pressure for 36 hours then purge and set to serving for at least 48 hours to settle in. It may be undercarbed but at least it should be tasty. FYI -...

I have used Airweld in Farmingdale. $18 fill or swap but can't always do fill on site. I've left it for them and picked up next day. Last time I went to Clinton (see above post) $15 and filled immediately. I bought a second 5lb tank, so immediate fill is not critical and I can use it for my...

FYI Beverage air are great units. Be sure to buy a unit designated BB for "Behind Bar" only if you are not putting in a draft tower. A friend of mine bought one off ebay and asked me to put a tower on it. It does not have the cooling tube for the tower. If you buy a DD "Direct Draw" it will...

Looking for one myself. Please help a brother out. Matt

I was in Boston in April with SWMBO. She loved the Brick Red but was disappointed to find out it is one of Sam's "Boston Only" brews. We bought a bottle of the the Brick Red Barrel Room Collection after the factory tour to bring home. She drank it about a month ago and it was just as good. It's...

I purchased a can of Munton's Extra Light LME with no date I could decipher from the code on the can. I used it anyway since I've never had a problem with ingredients from my LHBS. I also used fresh Light DME and hops. The problems is the wort is quite dark for these ingredients but I added the...

I agree. I didn't really enjoy beer until about 5 years ago (39 y/o now). I started brewing 6 months ago and am enjoying it immensely. I have definitely broadened my horizons on trying new styles and then attempting to brew that style. I can't pick out grains but not sure that I worry about...

No I haven't. I have the room in the keezer so I keep them in the cold. Something about warm beer that creeps me out. That might work but not sure.

I had a problem putting pressure in the kegs and taking them off. Once the CO2 dissolved in the beer the pressure dropped and my tank lid leaked. Luckily I found out early on. You can probably make a manifold out of T's from a hardware store so that all kegs are carbonating but it will require...
