Who guys have been helpin me solve alot of my problems lately, but I got another one. I jsut set up my kegerator for the first time. I got my kegorator setup perfectly, I think. The Co2 canister is reading 1500PSI, and I have the regulator set at about 7 psi pressure but when I pull the tap to...

Thanks guys think I'm gonna go withthis setup, It should all fit pretty nicely in my old dorm fridge.

thanks guys. obviously I need some help. I'm trying to buy on Amazon cus I jsut got married and have like $230 in gift cards for there. so is this the type of setup I need??? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005K0FAF0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Hey guys I'm building my first kegorator and need a little advice. I'm trying to start kegging my homebrew to serve behind my own bar but not sure what kind of keg I need (Corny keg, Ball lock, Pin Lock). Also looking for everyone's advice on kit's. I'm attaching the one I'm looking at for you...

In an experimental state of mind right now. I've done some coffee stouts racking on beans in my secondary and got great flavor. Added vanilla to a bock in my secondary to make a great vanilla bock. This month in my homebrew of the month kit I got an Aussie Ale from Midwest and was thinking about...

Thanks Microbus, Think I may give it a try as an experiment. Beer with lemon juice doesn't sound all that great too me to begin with, and pairing it with champagne yeast I think would enhance that acidic tartness. but hey an experimenting is worth a shot. thanks for the info.

yupppp, done that one before. I udes a paper plate and used about 3/4 teaspoon sugar in each bottle. I used a little less jsut so they didn't explode on me and with 3/4 teaspoon they were still a touch overcarbed. Just make sure u swirl them after adding the sugar to get it into solution. it...

Auto siphons are the best hting around, super easy to use. I'm on about my 10th brew and I had the same problem when I first started, the more u sipnon the better u will get. if there is any little particles they will probably be below ur spicket as ur bottling anyway so u shouldn't get much...

I've done some fruit beers with a heff base that the women seem to love, how the buddies will like it is a whole other thing tho.

Microbus, Did u do ur entire fermentation with the champagne yeast or just add it in after the primary? was everything else the same or did the champagne yeast make bottling harder or produce extra CO2 or anything? I think I can figure out a recipe I like I'm just trying to figure out the legistics.

had a great beer last night from Brooklyn Brewery Sorachi Ace. One of the best beers I've had in awhile. It's brewed with Champagne yeast. I was wondering if anyone has tried to homebrew with it and if it changed the amount of sugar in Bottle carbing? does it produce more krausen? Overall is...

My fourth beer I ever made was a an attempt at a smoked irish red. It did not turn out nearly as I had hoped. I simmered the oak chips in water to create a tea type or extract then added that in to try to flavor the beer. But by doing that I think it brought out too much of the tannin flavor and...

thanks wolfman. I really like ur method and will probably try that next time. It seems easier to moderate the flavor and get it just right.

Hey guys need some advice from some expereinced brewers. I just transfered my Altbier from the primary to my secondary and after tasting it thought it would go great as a holiday beer so I put a Tablespoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon each of allspice nutmeg and ginger into a cheescloth wrap. How long...

Damn kids!!!!

I've been keeping a 6-pack from all my beers(only stated bout 6 months ago). We are having a big winter vacation with a bunch of friends who havn't gotten to taste my beers yet. I figure I'd do a beer tasting when they all get togeather and I think by tasting them all side by side I will be able...

love that trick with the small piece of tube and letting the bottling wand hang. I've been takign the wand to the bottle, instead of the bottle to the wand. I'm gonna have to cut a little piece and give that way a try next time. thanks.

thanks guys I jsut went and got a auto siphon. yea I was just going to try to slowly pour but did not think about oxidation.

I seem to have alot of sedement in my bottles. The state great but by they are more then just cloudy. I think when I was bottling the yeast cake on the bottom of my 5 gallon bucket was getting stired up from the movement of beer threw the spicket. I'm thinking then that I will have to do a week...

As a Marine Biologist I think I have no problem with logistical (physics). I'm just not up on the effects of heat of carbing beer. I do appreciate the help of everyone.
