A fellow home brewer friend of mine just received this? Cask? Keg? How should we use it?

Ok here's the deal. I kegged 5 gallons if my beer. That's all good. I also bottled a 12 pack if the same beer I kegged. I capped the bottles set them a side to condition. A few days later I was reading through all my notes and realized I didn't drop any if the carb tabs in the bottles. Oops...

I am currently building a BK and a HLT. So far I have cut the tops of of the kegs and ready to add the fittings. I have the capability of welding or not for the bulk heads. Only planning adding a valve to each right now and thermometer and sight glass down the road. My question is is there a...

I will be doing my first all grain batch soon. Trying to get all equipment lined up. Mash tun... I have a 120 qt igloo cooler in my barn is like to use since I already own it. Is it too large for a 5 gallon batch? Will I have significant heat loss due to the empty space above the grain bed...

Quick question: going to dry hop for the 1st time this week. The recipe called for whole hops. Just realized LHBS gave me pellets? #1 does this matter? #2 can I just drop them in with no bag

I am going to keg for the first time tomorrow! I believe I got all that worked out. However after its all carbed up I want to put some in a Screw top Growler I got from a little brewery in CO and take with me on a 6 hr drive for family Christmas gathering. I'd like to show off some of my beer...

I ordered Sierra madre extract kit from Northern Brewer. I see that it comes with specialty grains. I have now brewed 3 extract kits and none of which had specialty grains. I'm not too worried about how to do it as I'm sure the kit instructions will be very clear. However, is the anything I...
