The kind that fit in a Bar fridge...To use instead of Bottles. Where would find them?

I just received a nice amount of extra cash...Much more than I was expecting. So I now have the means to go all grain. How ever due to a lot of rain through out the year (on the coast) boiling out side is not an option. So I need to come up with a way to do it inside (in more than one brew...

What do you all think of this? There is a way to skunk-proof beer, and it is used by the Miller Brewing Company. Instead of using hop flowers to bitter their beers, they use a special hop extract called tetra-hop. The isomerized alpha-acids in this product have a slightly different molecular...

I am about to brew another batch, and am wondering if adding 500 grams of DME to a tin of LME (instead of Dextrose etc) is a good idea?

And I don't think it will last three weeks in the bottles. It tastes better (right now) than any beer I have ever had.:D Oh Ya this was my first brew.

I read somewhere that new Plastic should be treated with a baking soda and water solution before using, but can't seem to remember where. Does any one know how much baking soda should be added to the water?

I am wondering if one could let the beer carbonate in a 5 gallon beverage cooler, and bottle say three weeks later? Would that work?

I racked to my secondary to night. Been in the primary for a week and a half. Tastes just like the commercial Beer that I have been drinking...but with a lot more punch. I am Pleased. Would not have had this kind of success without the help I received from this forum:rockin:

$65.00 later I am in possession of 2 (used) Plastic primaries (each large enough for 5 gallon batches), 2 (used) 5 gallon Glass carboys, 1 large cooking pot, 1 siphon, 1 hydrometer, 1 bottle brush, 1 large plastic stirring spoon 1 smaller stainless steel stirring spoon, airlocks. etc. Another...

The place where I might be purchasing my equipment wants to sell me a 10 gallon Plastic container (like the one on the web site) that does not have a place for an air lock on the lid. They told me to place the lid on loosely, and everything will be OK. http://eartheasy.com/eat_homebrew.htm...

What would happen if one were to leave the beer in a glass carboy with a siphon that had a valve on the end of it? When one wanted a beer one could just open the valve fill their glass and shut it off..... If this question sounds Stupid....I am yet to Brew my first batch.

Hi all, I have been researching everything I can find on the web about making my beer, and came across this site, and like what I have seen here so far. I picked up two (used) 5 gallon glass carboys last week for $4.00 each, and plan on purchasing the remaining equipment later this week...
