is there any saving this? I very carefully racked it into a glass carboy trying not to disturb it too much. I have heard mix reviews about saving it and chucking the entire batch. I just wanted to know your thoughts. it looks fine in the carboy. I figured I would let it sit over night in the...

I went to their website the other week and saw the kit of the month was their pumpkin ale.... So like every other purchase I make I check out the reviews of the kit first.... There was a few comments made about how the beer doesnt have enough cinnamon flavor or lacks pumpkin flavor.... Well I...

Hey all, I just picked up a Midwest Supplies "Golden Wheat Beer" 20 minute boil kit. The recipie seems pretty straight forward as far as ingredients: Fermentables- 4lbs Munton's Wheat hopped LME, 2 lbs. Wheat DME Hops- 1 oz Tettnang priming sugar, and dry yeast... The kit says...

my widwest supplies kit came with 2 activator packets... and every other brew kit I have got from them has only had one, do I use them both? The instructions dont mention two packets and I have brewed this recipie once before and dont remember it having 2 packets.... Its the 20 minute boil irish...

haha I had a brewing dream just like the title says... I had a dream that I combined beer with egg nog and made an egg nog stout! Little strange maybe but I have heard of milk stout? Has anybody tried this? Can it be done? If so, how would I go about making it??? :tank:

Hey guys I am thinking about brewing a corona clone with all this hot weather we have been having... I thought it would be a refreshing beverage to bottle.... I am having trouble finding clear bottles though.... I checked midwestsupplies.com but the only one I could find were the clear grolsch...

does it have a shelf life once in a keezer with ongoing co2 pressure?

If I have 4 kegs and one co2 tank.... how can I carb up my second keg with my first keg already filled with the co2 tank connected to that keg? My only thought is hooking it up to my 4 way air manifold and carbing it inside my chest freezer where my first keg is... what do you guys do that...

I just brewed this recipie... Its in the keg now... I cant quite figure out if I am experiencing off flavors or is this is how its supposed to taste?... This is the first time I have tasted a beer of this caliber. I am getting a hint of citrus? Does this sound normal? Ha, I didnt know... but at...

The bar is built, the kegs are in the keezer, and the beer tastes great! http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=512707145184&ref=mf

I am dropping 4 beer lines from my tap towers and trying to run them through the back of my chest freezer... dont want to tap into anything important so if you guys know of any safe areas on the backside of the freezer please let me know. Look at my thread in DIY for pictures of my setup, thanks!

Haha- every weekend I wake up at about 6 or so and jump on HBT forum its my weekend routine I guess, I just find it funny that so many of us wake up first thing and think about beer. I guess its just the addiction.. Is anybody brewing this weekend or have any DIY projects that happening? I have...

while kegging I have been told 1-2 weeks and it should be good for drinking... I have kept it at about 12-14 psi now for about two days... My question is do I need to continue to purge the courney keg each day or is it only at the begining? Also when the time is up on prepping the keg and switch...

Ok first timer with kegging here.... I set my regulator to 14 psi checked it an hour later still reading the same psi, went down another hour and checked it... Figured it was fine... Went down to the basement today after work and it was reading zero psi! WTF? my tank isnt leaking I still have...

I went ahead and transferred my autumn amber ale into my keg from my secondary... turned the gas on and went down 20 minutes later to check on it and it was at zero... I need a co2 fill! Is my beer ruined now because its just sitting in my keg? The earliest I can get it filled is tomorrow...

The bar is pretty small it fits 3 bar stools though... long story short I went to home depot buying some wood to build a "workbench"... well when I got home and had a few beers (I got to thinking, man it would be really cool if I had a bar down here!) So I quickly ditched the idea of building a...

I am trying to buy (first and foremost) a tap tower so I can mount it to my chest freezer in my basement bar area. Heres the deal, I have 4 courney kegs so my thought was to get a stainless 4 tap tower. I have been bidding on Ebay for the past 4 weeks with no such luck... I keep getting outbid...

I am rounding my 3 weeks on my primary for my autumn amber ale from midwest supplies.... and went down to the basement just now and took a look at my airlock and noticed a "white floaty"... ummmm all my equipment was properly sanitized and cleaned very well.... This is my first batch including...

ok in a few weeks I will be kegging my first batch (amber ale) my questions are.... What do I set my regulator to as far as psi goes once my beer is in my keg? can I set my co2 tank in my keezer? how many days with co2 pressure to my keg will it take till my beer is carbed? I think...

i am looking for a decent tap tower. I will consider 4,5, or 6 taps coming off from it. I have 4 courney kegs but always could go bigger if that is what you have for sale lol :) I dont mind. Give me a good deal my birthday is coming up and I want to get myself that gift because nobody else will...
