Hope I'm not being a PITA in this forum, geesh! I've been all over it in the last week. I'm looking at corny kegs, and I wonder - what type do you guys go for? What's easier to maintain, has more accessories easily available for, etc? I'm doing my shopping and I want to be set from the...

So I know this isn't necessarily homebrew, but I'm really stuck on the pressure of this keg I bought from a very well-known local brewery. I bought the keg of pilsner, and brought it home. I hooked it up and realized my tank was basically dead/empty after a few pours. The regulator read at 15...

Hey all! I'm back to brewing again - this time I have a full size kenmore fridge/kegerator. I just got my brand new co2 tank, a 5#'er, and I'm looking for places to get it filled. Anyone know of any *current* places I can get it filled?

Long time member, getting back into the religion. Hope to learn even more this time around!

$20 each. Good condition, I just don't have the equipment or the room for kegging. Not that I didn't want to! :-P

I'm watching Vince Vaughns wild west comedy show on netflix...anyone else?

When I'm secondary-ing onto fruit, is It ok if the fruit has sulphites? And if it matters, would cooking it down do anything to help?

Mine absolutely refuses to let me brew while she's sleeping....or the kids are home...or when she's awake, because it's such a major inconvenience to her. I had to cancel my brew day I told her about in advance because she wasn't going anywhere...

Hey guys, I'm making my first 4 gallon batch tonight, as the demand in the house has gone up now that my son is drinking the KT before and after tae kwon do :-p 4 gallons of water, the remnants of what KT I had left, 32 tea bags- 5 green tea and 27 oolong; a little under 4 cups of sugar...

Yay, we're moving in 12 days! This place has more room, costs less, includes more utilities, has garden space for growing hops, the landlord is quite interested in homebrewing, aaaaaaaaand has a bar!!!!!

Im having trouble finding kombucha commercially, and cant even find a bottle of it in my HFS's. Does anyone know where in the lower mainland BC I could find some? Its frustrating to no end to me, not to be able to find a scoby, kombucha, anything :s not to rant n rave or anything haha sorry

My 4th batch was friggin amazing! Very dark, rich, malty, and strong! I decided to call it Cornerstone Ale, because it's exactly what I wanted to make when I decided to brew. So it's made from 2 cans of coopers draught plus some DME. My big question is, does anyone know what sort of hop...

Ok so I take it that smash stands for single malt and single hop....now I have a question. Has anyone made one with a pilsner malt and citra as the hop? If so how did it turn out?

Popped my first homebrew today! Damn was it ever good. It was the first batch I made and had that cheap yeast smell, but when I popped it there was no trace of that smell left. It was pretty undercarbed, after only a week of course, but wow it was WAY better than commercial. No reeky aftertaste...

First one was a bit disappointing- made with pumpkin and spice, did nooot taste like it. Tasted pretty weak and watery. Bottled it anyhow and added a bit of pasteurized pie spice just before bottling. I'll let it age, try it in 2 months. Second one is my best yet; dark, malty, strong, and a...

So I got some bottles from work that were going to scrap, and I was pleased to find that the ones I saved from the smelter were 98% brand new, only having taken a trip through the bottler. So they either had a minor dredge of beer/beer-sanitizer mix in them, or they had a swish of water in them...

Hey guys I was just wondering whether it was a good idea to let SWMBO use my kettle for making turkey soup. I know there would be fat/oil and such from the turkey, and that obviously it would be removed by cleaners such as soap or something, but will this remain in small amounts and have an...

Hey all, I know there's been a lot of discussion lately as to temps, and I was hoping someone might have a different sort of advice. My situation is that now that I have power in my brewing space, I would like to also keep my finished brew in there, so that I follow the agreement I made with...

Ok so I posted this morn about bottling buckets, and SWMBO was quite pleased that I let her sleep then took her out shopping. To my delight, she was unexpectedly ok with making a trip to Dans, and picked up a bottling wand tip. I bottled my first two batches tonight, and have a few 650 ml's left...

Hey guys, I hope I'm posting in the right place. Just curious as to what it should cost for a decent bottling bucket with spigot and racking cane. I'm eager to bottle my batches that are ready, I think I've let them sit long enough, they're looking pretty clear and smell great! :mug:
