I've always noticed, in terms of weight: Samuel Smiths > Paulaner > Flying Dog > Sam Adams > typical bottles Never weighed them (just sensed by holding them), but I've suddenly got the urge to. :D

Okay thanks for the tips, guys... Kegging is fun! :D I'll probably get some keg lube if it helps the seal, but the consensus seems to be that it's not absolutely needed. I guess my next batch will incorporate yet another piece of equipment. ;)

Well, I repositioned the seal and the lid, and it seemed to have worked that time. Yeah! :rockin: What's keg lube? Is it required?

It's supposed to be a hefeweizen. I used WLP300 with 7lbs of 60/40 wheat/barley liquid extract. It smells and looks just like Flying Dog's In-Heat Wheat. I think I was mainly wondering if the concentrated wort would pose a problem for fermentation. (Sounds like it'll be fine.) I might give it a...

(This is my first post here, though I've been lurking for a while. Please be gentle. :D) Yesterday was my first brew. It was rough, and several things went wrong. Here's a list: I suspect I didn't wash the wort chiller well enough. I of course waited till the last minute to measure the...
