I would have to disagree with most of the advice given on this thread. When I found out that my wife (gf at the time) didn’t like beer (Shocked!) I decided to take an unorthodox approach to the problem. Everyone wants to say “give her framboise, or a kolsch or a fruity hef and if she doesn’t...

thats what i thought, thanks

wildwest- I was hoping you would chime in on this topic. do you just set to the desired psi and wait? Was what i read about priming sugar not regularly used?

I have kegged a few beers now and there carbonation has turned out good but after some searching on HBT I just want to make sure that I am doing it right. I have read about using a priming sugar in a keg, I have never done this. I just hook it up to the CO2 set it at the recommended...

Hey Chief if you want some i could spare a few, especially if you just starting off. I’m on the South Side off O’Malley. Ever since they took out the glass recycling in town Craigslist has been a great place to get bottles. Just put a wanted ad. I sent you a PM

That kicks A$$! Craigslist has been good to me also. I watched it for about a month and got a very similar set up for the same price. I went to my LHBS and did a quick pricing and figured i got into kegging about $500-600 cheaper not including the fridge! So i totally feel your excitement...

I'm really looking forward to moving over to AG. I guide out of Seward, have a wonderful trip on the kenai i love that river, never made it for kings yet

Hey all, I first wanted to thank everyone for the wealth of knowledge that is shared here. I have been poking around here for almost a year and have seen my confidence and know how grow exponentially. After all that time I figure I’m about due for an introduction. I’m one of a few Alaska...

Great Job, I'll definetly support you when i can buy your beer locally.... or... you can ship me a corny to alaska right now :rockin:

I worked at a fish plant for a summer and besides the $5000 unit i would have to say a $50-100 food saver will do about anying they (trust me i have tried) like someone else has metioned Costco seems to have great bag deals if you buy in bulk. They have the more expensive sealers also

I'm an AK fishing guide during the summer and driving the SWMBO crazy with home brewing during the winter. (sell some wholesale seafood on the side)

I'm very new to this about 8 5gallon batches and there is so so much more to learn but i feel like i am getting the basics down and can put out some quality stuff. take full advantage of the wealth of know how on here and it will help exponentially. after a few batches confidence will sky...

I have done a few batches now but have never used yeast nutrient. I will be pitching a rehydrated dry yeast (no starter) and wanted to add some nutrient to the wort in the carboy. Is this a bad idea? if this is recomended do i need to boil it for the last 5min to sanitize? thanks for the info...

I too would assume they are to be added in during the last 5 or so min.
