  Yes American Brewmasters was open! I managed to transfer to the keg, purge with CO2, and bottle
  20 bottles. I'm still trying to get the hang of how the ball lock QD connectors work...but
  otherwise it ...

  OK I found a homebrew shop in Raleigh that is open today. I'll head down and get the CO2 so I
  can purge. Hopefully this will allow me to carry out my plan.

• Posted in thread: First Keg Question on 01-01-2012 at 04:50 PM
  I thought since I am priming the beer with dextrose that this would make its own CO2. This is a
  5.6 gal batch (estimated after racking) I was hoping that I could rack the whole thing-add corn
  sugar--t...

  I am new to kegging and have a new dual tap kegerator, CO2 tank, regulators, ball lock kegs

  I paid 14.50 shipping for a 6 lb order. Overall this is a great deal on 2011 pellet hops.

  Interesting--I just saw my shipping notice and saw my order of 6 lbs from hopsdirect had a
  shipping weight of 10 lbs. Sounds like a good deal to me if even a bit of that extra 4 lbs is
  due to a few ex...

• Posted in thread: Just tried my first Kolsch... on 10-08-2011 at 01:45 AM
  Look under the "light hybrid beers". Try the bee cave brewery Kolsch recipe. Its a very easy
  beer to brew and it tastes fantastic. I'm bottling up my third batch of this recipe in the last
  six months ...

  Out of curiosity what temp did you ferment at? Was this with WLP810?With WLP810 I usually shoot
  for 60-62 for the first four-five days of active fermentation and then let it rise to 68-70 for
  another ...

  Brewed this up with my buddy today. We hit a nice 87% efficiency and I'm going to pitch it in a
  few hours with Wyeast 1056 (once it gets down to 64 F). The sample tasted great--I can't wait
  to see how...
