I wouldn't buy from anybody but kegconnection or adventures in homebrewing

I came across a used BM23 kegerator for sale. I would have to say it is about 10 years old and is good shape. Is 350 with no co2 a fair price for this. I understand that they cost 1000 plus new buy everything loses vaule over time. Is this worth it? Thansk

I use the sun with a really big magnafying glass

These isn't much to invest in goin to all grain. If you are allready a full boil the only thing you need is a mash tun. You can get a 10 gallon igloo at GFS for 50 dollars. You can just use a grain bag if you don't wNt to spend the extra 50 dollars for a ball valve and stainless screen After...

I was having the same problem as you. I would brew a batch(extrac). And come time to drink it, I was not happy with the beer. I wasn't horriable, but I would perfer to just buy and drink better beer. I quit homebrewing for 3 years. Started a new job and a coworker is a homebrewer, and all...

Love hopslam but to me it seems that this year there is less malt backing that in the past batches. Beer looks to beer a lighter color and a bit easier to drink. I think most of bell beer have been tamed down over the years. Oberon is not the beer that solsun was Heck Oberon is not the...

You need to preheat you cooler first. I fill it full with HOT tap water before I start heating up my mash water. I drain and add my mash water in at 165. It add grain and stir the grain until I am 2 degree above my target temp and Than seal her up. I will loose about 2 degree with a 60 minute...

Funny on how we always try to impress our women. My SWMBO used to be the same way. She is now hooked on late addition pale ales. Whenever we have a party she insists that I make the Amarillo pale ale from beerdujour.com. All the women seen to like it. It is like a grapefruit in a glass. I...

http://beerdujour.com/Recipes/1Pliny%20the%20Elder%20clone%20PDF.pdf Here is a link. This is from the brewer himself. I would have the beer sit in the primary for a min of 3 weeks. Transfer to secondary, and you are looking at almost another 3 weeks of dry hoping. After transfering to the keg...
