    Kegging help.

    I have several older kegs I received about 4 years ago. I didn't home brew at the time but I held on to them anyway. My question is how do I get the beer into them when the time comes ? I am ready to start kegging my beer but these kegs are the commercial keg type. What do I need in order to...

    Anyone interested in opening a BrewPub - East of DFW

    The brewpub business is a good idea but they are so limited on what they can do. They can not distribute to retailers. And if your in Rockwall you will need that money coming in I am sure. The rent on the harbor is out of this world. That's what happened to blue canyon.. And paradise burger...

    First pumpkin spice batch.

    Ok so I am not trashing the beer what do you recommend I do to make it more tolerable ? I don't mind making three batches if need be of the nut brown ale and adding some hops to the beer. But I do want to mellow it out some. I will just add one more can of the pumpkin to one of the batches. I...

    First pumpkin spice batch.

    Also can just make another batch of nut brown and after fermentation just make them half and half ? That would mellow out the flavor and I never mind having two batches of a pumpkin beer. Plus it would be something good to take to the deer lease this winter.

    First pumpkin spice batch.

    Oops. I did say and mean table spoon .. I don't hop it I used an extract nut brown ale kit and also used brown sugar. When I went back in the room last night the airlock was already going crazy. I guess I better start really liking cinnamon. Because this is probably going to taste horrible.

    My first batch of a brown ale from an extract kit is done. I have had several when I open a bottle pour the beer into a pint glass and I notice bling flat pieces floating in the beer. I scooped a couple out and when you rub them between your fingers they almost just go away but leave behind a...
