Yea the first batch I made was great. I guess I'm just wondering if anybody had similar problems and knew if topping up to get more volume was the issue with the taste I'm getting. I can't think of anything else I did differently. It still has it a week later. Its a strange taste. Sort of what I...

I made the Cenntenial Blonde recipe I forget who the member is from this forum. I've made it before and turned out great. I wanted to make it again. I made it about 2 months ago 3 weeks primary 3 weeks in keg/bottle. I kegged most of it and kept a 6 pack bottled. The problem is it doesn't...

I brewed this and everything went really well. It tasted great before I kegged it then I let it natually carb in the keg for a week then put it in the fridge with 10lbs c02 on it. I tasted it the next day to see how it was coming along and was really impressed. Then like 2 or 3 days later I do...

Brewed this last night with BIAB. Just got a new burner so I had some trouble hitting temp right but stayed around 150 for the most part. Got 1.052 before I pitched. Sitting in swamp cooler this morning bubbling good.

Here it is all done.

No I trimmed up the parts on the side where the shelves sat so the cornies fit great now I don't even have to really shove them in their just snug. I'll take pics of inside later tonight. CCNA is going good thanks maybe I'll get that far someday. Being lazy lately just got done A+ then Net+ a...

So I got this Fridgaire off Craigslist. I got 2 pinlocks. I've shaved the door flat and got them to fit in fine but I need a little more trimming to make it perfect. Has anybody had trouble with the seal after they pulled it out? Mine doesn't want to seal back up around the top. Its magnetized...

I opened the lid on my bucket last night and it was definitely fermenting there was a layer of bubbles and lots of fizzing. I took a cup out for a starter but I'm thinking I might let it go and just start a new batch with my starter. I still don't see the airlock bubbling though. I gave it a...

Did you use the same amounts of water, concentrate, sugar, were the temperatures pretty close when you took readings? What were some of your OG and FGs? Just wondering I was worried what the OP recipe would come out like. I'm guessing mine would come out dry but I think I'll just backsweeten if...

Just made this I wanted to keep it around 9-10%abv though. I did 5-6lbs sugar 6 can lemon concentrate 2 cans limeade concentrate (less tart my taste) I used the same yeast and I rehydrated it so hopefully I won't have fermentation issues. Same amounts for energizer and nutrient. I got 1.080...

Bought a six pack of this awhile ago good stuff this is going on the to do list.

Are you talking about Te'j the stuff that uses gisho roots? I think its also popular in Ethiopia that where I got the gisho roots.

I just got a deal off Craigslist 2 pin lock kegs with quick connects, 10# CO2 cylider, and 2 gauge regulator. Whats special about quick connects are they different than normal posts? I planning on getting the Danby 4.4 mini fridge to put them in and just use the cobra taps. I'm going to...

No it looks fine. I'd bottle it whenever its ready and see how it goes.
