I bought a new kettle from my LHBS on black Friday and was wondering if I can polish it like everyone has done? Its SS like all the others, but the finish is really dull. Maybe because it's a new keg/kettle? Picture is attached

I used my Duda Diesel 30 plate chiller yesterday for the first time and absolutely love it. I brewed 3 batches (20 gallons total) yesterday and the 10 gallon batch was cooled from boiling to 70F in less than 10 mins. I was pretty worried about it getting clogged since it was the first time I...

My birthday is in a few weeks and my girlfriend and my family have been asking what I want. Obviously I want to add to my homebrewing obsession and figured I'd see if you guys had any good ideas. I currently have a 3 tap kegerator, stir plate, mini fridge and Johnson temp controller that I...

PM me if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of. Thanks

Disclaimer: I have no experience painting, bondoing, sanding, really a whole lot of anything. So this was full of a lot of firsts. I am happy the way it turned out, I am still not done, but I'll post those pics when it is completed We'll start at the beginning.....the kegerator I got off...

....first water treatment :ban: If all of this even turns out drinkable I'll be plenty happy hahaha It's an exciting day and thought I would share:mug:

I'm brewing tomorrow, so I decided to make my first 2 starters, one with a stir plate and another I just put in a sanitized milk jug and have been shaking when I walk past it I mixed a cup of DME with 2 cups of water and boiled for 15 mins, then cooled and pitched the yeast, that was Friday...

SOLD Thanks to all

I emailed a guy from the following ad on Craigslist, he emailed me back and said he would ship it for $17 total Well, I was kind of weary so I insisted that I come to his shop to pick it up, when I got there, it was a "Sell your stuff on ebay" type of store, the guy was really nice and he...

Just to start off, I know I know, I need to relax and just have a homebrew, but my homebrew is in a keg that isn't carbed and isn't going to be unless I fix whatever problem I have :( Problem: Beer is not carbed Procedure: cleaned the keg, sanitized the keg, siphoned beer, lubed the...

It was a good find off CL. I ended up paying $30 for the kegerator and the CO2 bottle (out of date and empty) There is enough room for another keg, possibly a third, but I'll attempt to start slow and wait for some more cash flow before I put a few more taps in but either way, I am so excited...

Not mine, but could be a decent find for someone who needs one for only $30... http://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/for/1850731667.html

....and tomorrow I'll attempt to brew my 2nd AG batch:mug: Needless to say, this is wayyy overdue. I might even run to the local homebrew store and grab enough stuff for another batch if the first one goes well. I needed to share this with someone, that is all.

My parents just gave me my "big" christmas gift, and guess what it is?!?! ALL GRAIN SET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:ban::mug: Sorry, but I just had to tell someone who would appreciate it. The homebrew store opens up the day December 27th and I can't wait!!:ban:

So, I took 4 gals of apple juice and 1 gal of pomegranate/cranberry juice and threw it in a primary with 1 lb of brown sugar and some champagne yeast. It's been in there for almost a month and everything is starting slow down and basically has stopped. So I took a sample the other day to see...

I left some pasteurized cider out in my living room before I left for the weekend. I planned on making a cider out of it, but is it possible that it went bad? Can cider spoil if it isn't refrigerated? I searched and came up with nothing

After seeing the DIY glass etching that some people have done on their carboys. I got to thinking, I don't really make any labels for my beers, but I would like to permanently "mark" my bottles. Anyone know of a good way to do this? I considered glass etching them, but I doubt that would turn...

So I stopped by my local grocery store and grabbed 5 gal of pasteurized apple cider. I have two packets of champagne yeast and a pound of brown sugar. I plan on boiling 2 sticks of cinnamon in a gallon of cider before adding it to the carboy to bring out the flavor. Does that make sense? or...

Ok, so I am at school and have been trying to build a kegerator out of an old dorm fridge, but as most of you know, money is tight when you are in college.......so I get this call from my dad saying he pick up a kegerator for free!!!! The people said it had been in their garage for 4 years and...

Soooo, I bought some Wyeast the other day, well I got sidetracked when I got home and left it in the bag at room temp for about 4 or 5 days :mad::mad: As soon as I found it I threw it in the fridge, so did it go bad? Is it possible to go bad? I mean, should I run up to my LHBS and...
