Thanks all, time to call single cut! Anyone else in NYC ever do this?

I am having a house warming party soon but realized my kegs are running a bit low and was wondering if anyone knew how I could buy a corny full or beer or something along those lines. Any ideas would help, I'd also gladly buy any beer off of a local Homebrewer in NYC. Thanks!

I was brewing a pumpkin ale(all grain) with everything going along just fine until about 8 minutes left in the boil. Here is the recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f76/rented-mule-pumpkin-ale-342538/ Did it have something to do with the late Irish moss addition and pumpkin spice...

Sorry to revive an old thread but what diameter (ID and OD) O-ring would I get? I tried home depot but they had nothing useful in stock so I'll have to order it online. Anyone have a link that could guide me in the right direction?

*wipes sweat from brow* Ok, so I'll lower the volume to my estimated volume at that point and measure the OG. Thank you so much afr0byte!

In which pot, the initial mash or when I pull the grains from the sparge and then combine? What I'm thinking you mean is I should get the volume of water after the grains are removed from the sparge water and the mash is poured into that. What ever that size is will be my volume which I can...

Well I lost 2.8 gallons to the grains, boil off, and trub. When is the correct time to measure the wort for efficiency? Before the boil or after?

Does that look like I used it correctly? I'd be amazed if I had an 88% efficiency on my first BIAB.

Posted in wrong thread, oops

Can anyone help me with the initial question? I keep googling things and not getting a real answer. Thanks

Could you link me or post an excerpt?

Knowing the amount is 1.6 gallons, what formula or online calculator do I use?

I'm having a hard time working out what my efficiency was because of the addition of honey. I did my first all grain and as far as I can tell I think I did well. Here is the recipe(please note it was 4 gallons final volume as intended)...

Added a unique flavor but I don't think the ginger was noticeable and the peaches ended up adding more of a bitter flavor.

Thanks for the tips on the water, I guess I should have specified. I love the water in NY but I was asking if my calculating was right: "My recipe has 6.5 lbs of grain including 1.5lbs of crystal malt (3lbs of honey too). Using what I think are pretty standard rules I've read on here Should...
