    Availability of Kegs

    Lots of breweries around here will fill corny kegs, you just have to have your own. They are getting harder to find.

    Question about this recipe

    You're going to boil for an hour - so yeah - should be close. One of the things I LOVE about brewing is that any recipient will get you close - but ultimately you have to try it and see!

    I have a pint glass that has a nice Oregon logo on one side, a Bud Light logo on the other. I've tried scraping the logo and painting it with starsan - neither had an observable effect. Any suggestions on how to turn this glass from an embarrassing spatula holder into a vessel for the...
