I've got 3 on Co2 and one on beergas which my wife thinks is excessive. Now I know there are those out there with WAY more taps then me. So let's see who the "King of Kegs" is. And you have to prove it with a pic. :mug:

Got some petri dishes from a friend of mine who works at a lab, said them medium in the dishes were specifically for yeast? Wondering if this is actually yeast? I went online to try and find pics of yeast cultures in petri dishes and couldn't find any exactly like this one. I have 5 dishes...

A buddy of mine works at a lab and was able to get me about 6 plastic petri dishes with agar. What is the best way to capture yeast with these? I took one outside and removed the lid for approx 30 sec faced it towards the wind. I put the lid back on and I'm awaiting any growth?? If I do...

Anyone know when we can start seeing this years for sale???

I'm planning on doing the Northern Brewer's Scottish 60 Schilling which I've brewed before and loved.....but this time I'm thinking of doing it with 3 lbs of Mesquite Honey from Trader Joe's. Would 3lbs be too much for a 5 gallon batch? Should I use just 1lbs instead? I'll be using...

I brewed up a NB Irish Draught that I would like to put on beer gas. My question is this. I want to naturally carb this first. What amount of sugar should I use. I was thinking of going at a volume of 2. The calculator I used was for bottles. I read you should use half of the recommended...

Anyone do this kit yet? If so...how'd it compare?

Just wondering why a 7 to 7.5 ABV batch of cider seems to get me and my friends (who are not light weights when it comes to drinking) buzzed so much faster. Even the ones who drink hard liquor more than beer. It's treated with campden and potassium sorbate and back sweetened. Is it...

In the process of building my keezer and I have the chance to buy a freezer for $20. Only problem is one of the hinges is broke. Where can I buy replacement hinges? Home Depot? Lowes?

Ok...I kegged for the first time. I've been brewing for a year and a half. Don't have my keezer up and running yet so I will be chilling the keg on ice prior to the party. I primed the keg with 1/3 cup of sugar, it'll hit the 2 week mark just before the party. I was told to purge the Co2...

There seems to be different info on this in doing a search. So I'm going to ask what is the latest up to date info on this? I've got 15 gallons of hard cider that I want to back sweeten with apple concentrate and keg. What are the CORRECT ratios of: Campden Tabs Potassium Sorbate Apple...

I have been excited to brew the Blood Orange Hefe since I saw it posted lasted year. Well my local Whole Foods had the Blood oranges for sale so I decided I would give it a whirl....in the end I decided to brew a Blood Orange Belgian Wit instead. :rockin: I'll post a pic in the future if I...

I'm about to try my hand at capturing some wild yeast and brewing with it. My question is how do you decide what style of beer to brew with the yeast that is captured....do you just taste some of the wort used for capturing and then decide?? Cheers, Jim

Getting ready in the next three weeks to brew 3 batches (all Northern Brewer kits): Scottish 60 British Bitter Bourbon Barrel Porter (using the yeast cake from the Scottish 60) Looking forward to trying 3 new kits I've never brewed before. Anyone done the Scottish 60 or the British...

Came across this story in my local area: Man Embarks On Beer-Only Fast Until Easter, Man To Live On Water, Beer CORNING, Iowa — KETV.com Instead of fruits and vegetables, why not stick with beer? That's what a man in Corning is doing, and he said it's for religious reasons. J...

Ok...my plan is to build a keezer. It needs to be able to have the following traits: Large enough for 4 corney kegs and 2 tanks- 5lbs each (CO2 and beergas) My plan is to build a keezer with a collar, have two taps on CO2 and a Stout tap on beergas for 3 taps total. The 4th keg would be...
