So I've got a Danby kegerator and it's got a North American Dispensing Systems model 70012 regulator on it. I can't seem to find any information on this regulator. Two questions: There is a valve on the bottom of the regulator on the hose that goes into the keg. Which was is open? I'm...

deleted...problem solved. However...one question. I brewed my cream ale on June 2nd, transferred to secondary after two weeks and cold crashed at 38-40 degrees for three weeks while waiting to get my kegerator ready. Since the beer was already at 40 degrees when I transferred to the keg and...

Not sure if I'll go the milk stout route or not yet. I've done one and it turned out very well, but I don't know that I want a sweet stout on this one. I think I'll go with the changes suggested and keep the oats in, and leave out the sugar and be happy with whatever my starting gravity is...

This is my fourth or fifth stout. The others were good, but basic. I just wanted to change things up and get a little bit more going into it. I recently did an oatmeal stout where I toasted the oats and then steeped them with the grains as I was told to do and it turned out great. Of course...

Thanks for the input. I'll go with a pound of the roasted barley since I have it on hand. I guess I underestimated the extract I'll need. Makes sense now that I look at it, though. I downloaded Brewtarget and it put me in the 1.052 ballpark, which isn't bad. There aren't any brew stores...

So I'm making a stout, and I'm creating my own extract recipe for it. Here's what I'm looking at: Steeping: 1 lb flaked oats .5 lb English Roasted Barley .25 lb Biscuit OR Victory .25 lb Franco Belges Kiln Coffee .25 lb Pale Chocolate 3.15 lbs LME 1-2 lbs DME (late addition likely) 60...

Thread "Is this infected?" with response of "What's it taste like?" would seem much stranger on any other non-brewing forum. Of course, as you mentioned, the "too much head" ones also make my inner teenager laugh too.

I can't speak for Midwest or Austin, but I've used Northern Brewer multiple times with fantastic results. I placed an order this past Sunday and it was sitting on my porch when I got home today, complete with a stout kit, some pint glasses, random yeasts and hops, some new carboy brushes...

Didn't think about that. Added the lactose in boiled water at bottling, if I remember correctly.

I brewed a chocolate milk stout with cacao nibs and madagascar vanilla beans in January. I bottled this beer on February 24, 2012. When I bottle, I always fill one dark champagne bottle, cork and wire it and put it away to age. Well when I made this beer, I was really excited about what it...

Thank you very much! I'm very interested in this, but I honestly don't know when I'd be able to get up to Fishers. I'll be picking up my kegging system tomorrow and the kegerator should be the last piece I need.

You said it would hold two ball lock corny kegs...will it also hold two pin lock kegs? Sorry, just getting into kegging, so maybe it's a dumb question...

Thanks for the input guys. I just received a reply back from John at Square One Brewery. Apparently they add the maple syrup at kegging and store the kegs in a walk in fridge until they tap them. Unfortunately, I was hoping to bottle this beer so I'd say that's out of the question for me. He...

Bump...Anyone?

So last weekend, my girlfriend and I went to Square One Brewing and Distillery in St. Louis. She had the maple stout, and she fell in love. I'd like to attempt one, but I'm not sure where to start. I've done some searching and have come up empty. Some say add to boil, end of boil...

Thanks for the input guys. I guess it shouldn't be too bad to turn a mini fridge or freezer into a kegerator...not as bad as I thought for sure. I should have the stuff on Sunday and then I'll be able to start figuring out the dimensions I'll need inside the future kegerator.

I've been brewing for about six months now and I love everything about it except the cleaning and sanitizing and storing of 60 bottles each time I finish a batch. I recently found out that a relative of my girlfriend is a former home brewer and has a kegging system he's willing to sell. He is...

Wow some good games tonight, but not the results I wanted. The Wings, Hawks, and Devils all lost me a good deal of money. And seriously, a one game suspension for Neal??? Ridiculous.

I did have really good seats for the game, actually. It was on my couch in front of my television 1000 miles from the game. You could clearly tell he wanted to go, and even the announcers or Pierre the Elf or whoever said Schenn was saying "let's go." Obviously Crosby is a "skill guy," as...

Schenn kept asking Crosby "You wanna go?" while they were locked up while everything was going on at the end.
