Hey I have these items that I'd like to go to a good home. If you want to buy them, by all means. The priming sugar is a mix of 4.5oz and 5oz bags. Offer me something in trade. Maybe your own brew? I'm not going to use them so if you want 'em, shoot me a PM. I work in Manhattan so if you can...

I brewed up an AHS Oktoberfest this past weekend and was in the process of cooling it down to 54 deg to pitch two packets of Saflager 34/70 yeast. Then I tweaked my back and I found out that my fermentation freezer isn't chilling below 68 deg (a craigslist find that seems to have run its...

Thanks, the tank has been SOLD. ______________________________________________________ I have an extra 20lb steel co2 tank for sale. $70 or best offer. It's in excellent shape, bright silver paint. It's empty with a hydro stamp of 10/2007 (correcting my previous comment - thanks JRems)...

I brewed up a AHS Ordinary Bitter last week using DeathBrewer's All Grain Stove Top method. My mash temperature was too high. I was shooting for 165 deg water temp so that it would drop to 154 deg when the grain was added in. It wound up at 170 deg and I had to add some water to eventually...

20 lb CO2 tank. It's an old steel tank and it will need to be hydro tested. Sometimes the shops will swap it for a new one without even checking. It had some co2 in it but I just emptied it out in my keezer. Sorry, I'm not interested in shipping. This thing weighs a ton so the shipping cost...

I posted this in the beginner forum but this location might be more appropriate. :mug: I have an AG Guinness Extra Stout clone kit coming in and have the following yeasts sitting in my fridge (washed). Wyeast American Ale 1056 Wyeast Scottish Ale 1728 Danstar Nottingham White Labs...

I have a Guinness Extra Stout clone kit coming in and have the following yeasts sitting in my fridge (washed). Wyeast American Ale 1056 Wyeast Scottish Ale 1728 Danstar Nottingham White Labs English Ale WLP002 Which would be most suitable for this stout and at what fermentation...

My wife really liked the Original Sin hard cider that I bought on a whim. It's not Woodchuck's sweet but it's plenty sweet and has a 6% ABV kick. I bottled a batch of Brandon O's graff thinking that it might be sweet enough for her but after half a bottle, she wasn't a fan. I like it fine so...

I've only seen a few pictures of insulated keezer collars. I think most people don't bother insulating them but I would like to consider it if I could keep it neat and tidy looking. I'm going with a 1"x4" collar. Show off your handiwork and we'll throw some adulation your way. If you can...

Didn't know exactly where to post so my apologies for double posting (also posted in the Bottling/Kegging forum). Like a lot of folks, I'm looking to buy a used chest freezer for a keezer project. However, although everyone seem to be concerned about sizes and how many cornies fit, I'm more...

I did a search and this didn't really pop up. Everyone seems to be concerned about sizes and how many cornies fit, but I'm more concerned about buying a lemon on craigslist. Can some of the appliance experts contribute their knowledge to creating a checklist of some sorts for us noobs? Any...

I was at the local hardware store and spied some plastic buckets. Checked the bottom and they are made from grade 2 plastic - so suitable for brewing use. Hmmm.... There was a 2 gallon bucket which would be great as primary for small batches - maybe for graff or hard cider? There was...

I bought 4 from jaginger but I could always use a few spares. ____________________________________________________ I would like to buy 1 or 2 kegs depending on the price. I've been spending way too much on beer stuff so I would like to keep the cost down by buying locally if I can. Please...

So like a lot of people, I only use a primary bucket (no secondary). I'm going to try cold crashing a UK red ale in the primary this week and I plan on dry hopping in the primary with my IIPA. The question I have for you is what do you do for high gravity beers that call for long conditioning...

I know that refrigerators and freezers don't work well in unheated garages - either the ambient temperature is too hot or too cold. However, once the temperature control units are installed into the keezer or kegerator, would one or the other work without a problem in an unheated/non-air...

Just had a successful brew party last night. Had some friends over and presented my first and second batch. My first batch ever was a AHS Brown Ale. I brewed this by the book. The result was a very dark colored brown ale. I don't have a chiller so I had some chill haze when I put it into...

I know people will debate the merits of dry versus liquid yeast as long as beer is around. That's not my question. I have used both dry and liquid and have just begun washing some yeast also. In the off chance I screw up (I'm still a noob) or I need to repitch or whatever, I think I should...

I'm on my third extract batch and I would like to venture into the partial mash world for my fourth. I looked at some of the instructions for partial mash kits online and they have a wide range on time for steep/mashing, anywhere from 30-75 mins. In reading various threads, the mashing...

I'm planning to brew my second extract batch, Hank's Hefe Weizen with WLP300, tonight. My first batch, AHS American Brown Ale, is bottle conditioning in the basement. I have the WLP300 starter going on my homemade stir plate ready for pitching tonight. :ban: I have two possible locations...

I've never had barley wine before so I went out today and picked up a bottle of English style barley wine. Its a liter bottle brewed by Pennichuck brewing company. I'm looking forward to tasting it but I know I'm not going to knock it down all by myself, at least not in one sitting. Can I...
