I found that NZ Saaz hops worked really well for this on my 3rd batch

This is still my all time favourite beer. Done about 5 batches now, just did my first 10g batch now and it turned out as well as ever. Sometimes it comes out stronger than other times, even still, I call it this India Red Ale recipe "Un-f*^c-up-able" because lord knows I have messed up on other...

Hi I measured the gravity after a week and was down to 1.010 Since I was going away for 2 weeks and it was getting a bit warm, I decided to keg after one week. I have it at 4C (39F) and will leave it there in secondary for 2 weeks. Then I plan to start carbonating. So it should be lagering at...

I'll be reusing my Wyeast Belgian wit yeast . What did you use?

I just drank the SARANAC WHITE IPA wow. my new favourite have you compared?

I live in China. I have a chinese regulator . Brand is Dorado. Don't know if this brand makes it international or not. But yep, the beer has made it past the regulator. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for your advice I screwed off the safety valve nut and yes, I poured out a load of beer! I think I have a leak in the system, as well as I filled one keg to over the gas in tube and then put that one on force carb 30psi. I have devised the following method to ensure a total clean of...

Well it just so happens i do live in China! new tank around $50

Hi My first keg experience - what a mess! I have a dual regulator. Put one keg on force carb 25PSI. Decided to do an experiment and carb the other keg through the OUT valve at 10PSI. Come back later that evening, beer up to half way on all the dial guages! Flooded regulator. Was...
