Yowza!

I'm in!

Holy cow...

Anybody seen my refractometer??

Coooooool!!

Deception Cream Stout which I have on tap. Stoudts American Pale Ale bottles in the fridge.

Yikes! That's one mega prize.

Move to Pennsylvania. Your Carry Permit will run you $25 for 5 years with no loss of rights. As an aside, I was pulled over for speeding this summer and informed the state policeman that my registration and insurance card were in the glove compartment with my pistol and asked how he wanted me...

Piiiissshhhh....get back to me after you've mined your own ore. Who's going digging this weekend?? The Twitter Twit is just showing off his ignorance.

Sounds to me like it's just young. Give it a few weeks in the bottle and I bet your Brown is fantastic.

Irene made the decision for me. I had the hops in the freezer with the intention of putting them in the keg this weekend. Since we lost power and they thawed, I decided to put them into the primary rather than re-freeze them. I'll keg this weekend and am looking forward to the results!

No. It's chilling mhenry41's brew now!

I can almost smell that just by looking at it! I'm leaning towards muslin bag and marbles in the keg to see what happens. I have the bag and I can steal the marbles from my kids when they're not looking.

I like to set my fermenter on a shelf at siphoning height a few days before racking it into the keg. That way it re-settles. I figure the less sludge sucked into the keg, the better. I then put the keg in the fridge and set the gas to serving pressure. About a week to 10 days later it's ready...

Thanks for all the good advice. The only secondary I have is a carboy and that sounds like a problem. I suppose I could use my bottling bucket though. Dry hopping in the keg sounds intriguing. Scooby: do you put the hops in a weighted bag or just toss them in?
