I got a nice variety of IPA hops from my last YVH order, and I am having a hard time getting the "goodness" out of them that other people describe. In particular, I am annoyed that I am getting subdued flavor and aroma from: Mosaic, Denali, and El Dorado. I've tried a few combos pairing them...

hey guys, my trusty two product regulator needs a new home! perfect for having 2 beers on tap, or one carbing and one serving. it is not a dual gauge design, so the PSI will be the same on both kegs. it has a built-in washer, which has been super helpful instead of having to track one down each...

I guess it has been a hot minute since I needed a refill, but I just went searching across Dallas - Ft Worth area for places to swap my 5lb tank, and it was quite a chore! Back in Philly, every beer distributor did swaps for $12-15. easy peasy. but here in TX, man, are people not kegging or...

so I get home last night and notice that my kegerator fridge (an old Kenmore Coldpoint that has to be from the 80s that bought on CL for my project) is making a clicking sound from the back, the compressor is HOT, and the unit isn't cooling. frak. I unplug it for a while to start looking...

since I didn't know better at the time, I bought a beverage factory dual output regulator when I built my kegerator, and it has worked fine-ish until recently. now, when I turn one of the little plastic shut off valves to cut the gas flow, it is all loose and I can hear an audible "hiss" until...

my wife and I had been kicking around the idea of going with my parents to West Virginia next week for the 4th... yadda yadda we're now definitely going! here's the kicker, my 2 brothers are now able to get the weekend off, so they are meeting us there as well. so of course I got the: "so are...

Hey guys! a friend of mine has opened a LHBS (in New York), and has offered a bulk grain buy that can be drop shipped out this way that he facilitates through his supplier. we would have to fill the order in pallet increments (of whatever grains we want of course) to get the best rates on...

my wife wants me to try to make a La Fin du Monde-esque tripel, so I am going to do a small batch ale to build up the yeast (much tastier than a starter!) so after LOTS of searching and reading, I decided that Wyeast 3787 was going to be the best option for me since the Unibroue yeast currently...

hey guys, every once in a blue moon, my wife goes on a beer kick...so I wanted to try to indulge her by brewing up a small batch of wit, and then take that yeast cake and throw a tripel on top of it. she LOVES La Fin du Monde (so she is more into the sweet-fruity than spicy phenolic), so...

weird bubbles by natural320, on Flickr well, I haven't seen this before in my 3 years of brewing. check that, the wheat beer batch I harvested my yeast from to make this cider had some odd looking bubbles on top, but nothing of this magnitude. I had used Fermcap and dry-hopped, so I...

like the title says I found a "too good to be true" beermeister setup on CL, an old Kenmore (made for Sears according to the sticker) fridge that he had modded...it needs a bit of TLC, but nothing too bad IMO, and I can easily fit 2 cornys in it! it came with an old looking (but supposedly...

while I LOVE the keezer idea, I am looking for a bit of a smaller option due to the space constraints around my bar. I figure with the savings of using a mini fridge vs freezer + temp control + collar I could buy 2 little 3 gallon kegs and not be TOO far away in price (calculated around $400...

I know this is the holy grail for some people, and I am one of them! SWMBO finally said I could purchase a kegging setup (because she wants to be able to make her own sparkling water, but I'll take what I get when I gets it!)...however, the caveat is that I can't dominate our "beverage fridge"...
