Question for all you hop growers out there. I'm going to try to grow a couple this year for the hell of it, and had a question. I have a shadow box style fence in my backyard that is 6 feet high. Do you think it would work if I train the vine to go up to the top of the fence and then travel...

Anyone see a problem using a 1/4" inline valve in 3/16" beer line. I would like a way to shut my taps off on the inside, in case a handle gets pulled on accident (hasen't happened yet, but I see the cat eyeing it everyday). Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't have any foaming problems with this...

Maybe someone can help me out here. I'm drinking from my first keg, which I have 13psi of CO2 on. I used the set it and forget it method and started carbing it 3 weeks ago. I have 7 ft of 3/16 inch beverage hose and serve through a perlick faucet through a fridge door. I seem to be getting...

I kegged my vanilla cream ale 5 days ago (my first kegging experience). My fridge is at 34 degrees and I have the pressure set at 12 psi. According to the tables this should result in a CO2 volume of 2.79. I didn't do the shake method, just the hook it up and leave it method. Should 5 days...

Just wondering if anyone has done this before. I'm guessing I can just use the 5 to 1 ratio of water to syrup, keg, and force carbonate at 30psi in the keg fridge. Is there anything different about kegging a commercial syrup soda vs. say a root beer extract soda? Thanks for any help!

Already have my 3 kegs, now I just picked this beauty off e-bay for a great price. Starting to get a little excited...

Tomorrow I will be brewing a Guinness clone that contains pre-hopped malt extract. I have a 30qt brew pot and was planning on doing a full wort boil. My question is, are there any changes/tweaks I should make, due to the fact that I will be using a full wort boil. Are there any changes in...

I will be getting the cream ale kit from northernbrewer today, and had a question about maybe adding a little bit of vanilla to the taste. This will only be my 3rd batch so I'm still very new to the process (still waiting for my first batch to bottle condition ). I do use a 5 gallon secondary...
