No idea if this is the right forum... For our Big Brew/Homebrew Day (~280 Gallons this year) we had yeast from Philadelphia Brewing Company and Flying Fish donated for our use. Beercrafters still has a lot of Flying Fish left along with some PBC as well. I believe the PBC was an American Ale...

I kegged my Winexpert Exotic Fruits White Zin on Monday and set the regulator to 6PSI. I prefer the method of setting to roughly serving pressure and let it sit a few days instead of forcing in 30+ PSI and then backing off. The wine pushes out nice today, but is still flat. Should I kick it up...

The Gloucester County Homebrewers will be having their 15th annual Homebrew Day event on May 3. Please go to our website: www.gchomebrewers.com for details. :mug:

I have an old Yuengling keg that was in someone's back yard for a long time (years??) and he gave it to me one day thinking it may be of use. It has a dirty cork bung in the side and the old three pin/screw type of tap on it. Can this be used for anything? I'm not sure I can even get rid...

I am in the process of making Northern Brewer's Chinook IPA. Well sort of, they removed the kit due to the shortage and I am just using Simcoe in place of Chinook to see what happens... Anywho... I have about 1.5 cups of priming sugar left over from previous kits and would like to make a...

My wife and I are building a house and she is giving me a dedicated(ish) room to brew in. Here is the floor plan of the house. The area I am getting is the storage room off of the garage. We already are making the following changes: The wall behind the washer and dryer will not be there...

I made an ice wine kit from Winexpert and it tastes great. Very sweet and packs a punch. However, it is very syrupy compared to two commercial ones I had recently. It's so thick that it makes it hard for me to finish a small bottle of it in one sitting. The wine is already bottled so there...

It looks like the BeerTender from Krups is coming to the USA in March. Unfortunately, they don't really say much about it other than it will use thsoe new DraughtKegs thingies that Heineken come in now. The French version of the site has flash demos and such of the unit. Does anyone know if...

Today my wife's grandfather gave me an old tap handle as a gift since he knows I like to brew and drink beer. It is about 3 inches tall made of brass (I think) with an orange tint to it and black paints details including a name button on it that says Gus (interesting since my wife's...

So I was tooling around Wikipedia today (we have a game to see how many links it takes me to connect something to nuclear warfare - think 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon), and went to the article for Homebrewing. The poster of the picture at the top of the article stated he got that fermenter at Hop...

I bought a couple of Ventmatics several months ago and just this past week I finally got to keg a beer and use one. The one I hooked up dripped long after the pour and I think I finally fixed that by tightening the nut on the top of the faucet. I left the CO2 tank open at about 10 pounds for...

Well, I got a free pre-drilled fridge from a fellow homebrewer (got a job at Dogfish Head the lucky... :) ) and it was working fine for him for as long as he had it. However, I am having problems with it. The freezer compartment leaks causing condensation everywhere and while trying to loosen...

Last night my homebrew club had our monthly meeting and we got into a fairly heated debate over the merits of not taking beer off of the trub for long periods of time. I personally have gone as long as three weeks because of scheduling problems and the like, but I don't think it is a great...

A friend of mine and I put together a pomegranate mead about a month and a half ago and it is currently sitting in a large plastic bucket after being racked twice. I taste tested a little during the last racking and while it is good, it's rather dry. He wants his part that way, but I was...

I've been waiting for them to put this up on the website since I first saw it in the magazine. I want one. :cool: All-in One Beer Brewing Machine

I'm trying to find a place that has cheap oar style handles. Here's the catch. They need to be either black or not stained/varnished. All I ever find is varnished. By brother works at a printing company and will make custom Saints and Flyers designs for them out of scrap vinyl at the...

I've been brewing for about 2 years now when I was presented with the option of going to a burlesque show (with her of course!) or buying a homebrew kit from my local brew store. Since then I have become much more involved in yeast by-products. I am a member of the Gloucester County...
