Who guys have been helpin me solve alot of my problems lately, but I got another one. I jsut set up my kegerator for the first time. I got my kegorator setup perfectly, I think. The Co2 canister is reading 1500PSI, and I have the regulator set at about 7 psi pressure but when I pull the tap to...

Hey guys I'm building my first kegorator and need a little advice. I'm trying to start kegging my homebrew to serve behind my own bar but not sure what kind of keg I need (Corny keg, Ball lock, Pin Lock). Also looking for everyone's advice on kit's. I'm attaching the one I'm looking at for you...

In an experimental state of mind right now. I've done some coffee stouts racking on beans in my secondary and got great flavor. Added vanilla to a bock in my secondary to make a great vanilla bock. This month in my homebrew of the month kit I got an Aussie Ale from Midwest and was thinking about...

had a great beer last night from Brooklyn Brewery Sorachi Ace. One of the best beers I've had in awhile. It's brewed with Champagne yeast. I was wondering if anyone has tried to homebrew with it and if it changed the amount of sugar in Bottle carbing? does it produce more krausen? Overall is...

Hey guys need some advice from some expereinced brewers. I just transfered my Altbier from the primary to my secondary and after tasting it thought it would go great as a holiday beer so I put a Tablespoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon each of allspice nutmeg and ginger into a cheescloth wrap. How long...

I seem to have alot of sedement in my bottles. The state great but by they are more then just cloudy. I think when I was bottling the yeast cake on the bottom of my 5 gallon bucket was getting stired up from the movement of beer threw the spicket. I'm thinking then that I will have to do a week...

So I bottled my latest 5 gallon homebrew today (Honey Hef. tasted great from the fermenter). But with this heat we are having in Massachussetts the next few days, I'm concerned that it won't carb. By Saturday it should get back down to the 70's. Should I put my bottles in the fridge til the...

OK so I apologize if this is just me ranting about my job. But I only slept 2 hours last night and had to get up at 2:30 drive an hour to wait for a boat capt while standing on the dock getting eaten by mosquitos( I collect data on commercial fishing vessels for the government). The Capt finally...

So I brewed my first 4 batchs of homebrew in the Mr Beer setup and they all turned out with a yeasty aftertaste. I'm guessing that's because I couldn't get the beer off the yeast cake. I just jumped up to a 5 gallon setup. Do I have to do a 2-stage fermemtation to eliminate the yeasty flavor or...

Hey everyone I know coming form a rookie brewer this is a dum question but I'm about to step up from the simple Mr Beer setup to a 5 gallon setup. I'm looking at buying kits and the one I was looking at has a 5 gallon carboy. With the Mr. Beer setup it was just the simple one stage fermentation...

Hey guys, I'm only on my 3rd batch of beer and I have been putting it in the 22oz bottles that came with my MR. Beer setup. I've desided to try bottling with old Sam Adams bottles I took the labels off. Just wondering if you guys had any tips for sterilizing bottles? amount of priming sugar? do...

So I bottled my beer 2 weeks ago then had to go out of town for work. My girlfriend thought I accidently left my beer out and put it in the fridge before it could carbonate. I took it out of the fridge but will the yeast kick start again? do I need to add more yeast?

Hey wondering if anyone has heard of a beer brewed with wine? It was kind of a drunken conversationa bunch of us were having last night between a few home brewers. I was wondering if anyone had heard of anything lke it. I may try to do a small 2 gallon batch to see if it works out. Any info...
