I'm going to be in Carlsbad, CA for 2-3 days for a conference then heading down to san diego for a week. I already know where to go in San Diego... but can anyone recommend a few places I could grab some CA craft beers at? I notice Pizza Port is close, so I'll stop there. I'll specifically be...

I've been doing a ton of research, and big thanks to Kal from his thread on doing all the experiments on keg tubing. I want to purchase Bev-Seal Ultra tubing and i've been looking for a place online to buy it and found this site...

I'm going to most likely be visting San Diego in Mid May. Specifically staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay I'd like to stop by a good craft beer store to pickup some bottles of beers that I can't get back at home (Michigan). Hopefully to fly back with me, but i'll probably try some there as...

I'm looking to get a new brew kettle (probably for Christmas) that I can do up to 10 gallons in (so a 15g pot I assume). I normally do 5g, but want the option to do 10g a few times a year. I have few questions/concerns. I really like the blichmann Boilermaker 15g pot for the fact that it has...

I'm in the market for Perlick 525SS and all Stainless pieces to go alone with it. I found on Austin Homebrew they sell the kit, and only 1/4" tailpiece. I hear 3/16 beerlines are the best to use... can I use that size on this tailpiece? Or should I just go with 1/4" beerlines...

I'm looking at the 6 way one. http://www.wholesaledraft.com/Draft-Keg-Beer/Co2-Air-Distributors/Distributors-With-Safety.php?styleID=74&brandID=12 If anyone has a better site / price... please let me know :)

What would be some reasons to hit pre-boil FG fine (All Grain), but end up low (like 6-7 points) on your SG before adding yeast? I'm trying to think of all the things that could cause this to pinpoint a problem I've had on the past 2 beers. - Didn't loose enough in evaporation. - Boil over...

I purchased this from kegconnections.com : http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=149 I put it into my chest freezer along with my tank which has been sitting at 40F for almost a week. Nothing hooked up to it. Last night I hooked up my gas to a full 5g batch of a beer and set it to...

I'm looking to purchase my first regulator...since I just recently bought 4 kegs. I was looking for one that I could potentially hook 4 kegs up to. I found this on kegconnection.com , is this my best bet and cheapest one? I just want to make sure it'll suit my needs forever.. I may only use it...

I just purchased 4 used kegs as they had a deal at my LHBS on them 4 for $80 :) I've taken apart one of the corny kegs and I'm aware that I need to replace all the o-rings on them. I found the wiki that says these are the o-ring sizes on mcmaster.com...

I'm looking at getting to kegging soon and have a question about the best method to suit my particular need. I'm basically looking to make a beer, keg it, store it, and bring it upnorth (3 hour drive) to my cottage in the summer to plug into a kegerator that is all hooked up and ready to go...

I'm going to make a Kolsch next weekend. First one... and one of the first recipes I'm putting together on my own. Figured I'd post it up to get some feedback on it. Please let me know what you think! Batch Size: 5 gallons OG: 1.054 Color: 5.2 SRM IBU: 21.8 Shooting for 70% efficiency...

Is there anyway to actually test the IBUs of a beer after its made, vs what my software says? I'm just curious how much utilization I'm actually getting with different methods. Mainly tossing the hops straight into the boil vs bagging them in the boil.

How does one calculate the amount of unfermentable sugars when mashing at a certain temperature? I just made my first AG (oatmeal stout), but I mashed higher than I think I should have. I did it at about 160 for 1 hour. It was higher than I wanted to, but I freaked out and decided to close the...

I just washed my yeast out of my last batch and placed it into two jars... followed some instructions online. It turned out like this after a couple days in the fridge: Now my question is... the yeast is the stuff on the bottom, correct? Should I dump out the rest in each bottle and just...

I just racked my Belgian Tripel after almost 5 weeks in the primary... figured it was time to get it off the trub and into a secondary 5gal glass carboy to store away for another 2 months. I just did it last night... and already today there is another inch or so of trub at the bottom. Should...
