I got one 5 gallon keg from 4 5# C02 tanks. No, that's not a type-o. I have your same problem. I've stripped and re-stripped my kegerator rig 4 times, kegs, fittings, and o-rings. Then spray tested. I can't figure out what's leaking. My beer carbs perfectly, I set it to 12psi and two days...

When I brewed kits, I call them by style. I never have enough around to have 3 different Ambers, or Stouts, etc... I'm making all-grain now and use the recipes from this site almost exclusively. I have a chalk board over my kegerator that tells me/SWMBO/friends what's on tap at the...

Why don't you just stick that fermentation bucket in a nice dark, cool place somewhere and let it sit until you can afford a bottling bucket? Presto! No more problems and your beer will be clearer for the patience shown. I left my first milk-oatmeal stout, racked over vanilla beans, in my...

Don't worry about opening the lid. Everyone does it their first few beers, I promise. :) If they don't, that have some sort of alien mind-control going on. I've had entire air-locks blow off and not realize it for 2-3 days because I didn't look in on my "bucket closet". My plastic...

One word. Cauterize

Is it possible for a beer to bottle condition TOO long? I just remembered I've got a 12 pack of a Milk Oatmeal Stout that I bottled around Christmas sitting in my basement... lol

"The Hustler" - Best Paul Newman movie and IMHO the best movie ever made. "A Knight's Tale" - Would be my favorite "newer" movie. But, those two are the only two I've ever paid for copies of.

I did not understand the entire first part of your post about all the different fittings.. :( BUT - the part about the washer... I just lost an entire tank of C02 in a week on my first keg as well. And my regulator, nor my tank came with a washer to go between the two. You happen to know...

So, my first brewed batch was an Extract Alaskan Amber clone. It was fruity and not real good to be honest. But, my boss freaking loved the stuff. So I gave him my last six pack and he stuck it in the fridge at work and we forgot about it. Fast forward 2 months. We were downstairs playing...

I did neither on mine. It looks freaking nasty, nasty in the Primary. But I just racked mine to Secondary last night to free up my carboy and give me some time to finish putting my kegerator together. Stuff is the clearest Ale I've ever made. It's not see-through like some of the pics...

Sign me up please! And thanks for putting this site together, it's awesome!

You lucky, lucky devil. We got another 8 inches. After getting 8 inches 4 days prior.

Just how much water would you have to add to a 5% ABV beer to remove 3% of that ABV? It would have to be 3/1 water at that point, wouldn't it?

Couple of guys at work were constantly talking about it. So I started reading and decided "What the hell, I could do that." So I found a guy on CL that was moving from a big house into a little bitty apartment and bought everything he had for 150 bucks. Gave away half of it to a buddy so he...

Absolutely! And if tastes bad, do what we all do, dry-hop the *#$%$ out of it! :cross:

I would like to know why your glasses/posters were not made available for sale online? If nothing else, this would have generated more money that could be put to good use by you in creating public awareness. Politics is money, and money == votes. And whatever happened to the separation...

You added it to the mash... right? Then boiled it for 60 minutes? Pffft, I'd let it ferment and try it. It's 4-6 hours of your life and 5+ gallons of beer, that's why. You have a couple and they make you perch on the porcelain throne and you get a free colon cleansing of a morning is your...

I'd keep it and drink it. I hide my good beer from my wife and friends specifically for this purpose...

I go a Haeir (sp?) single tap kegerator off of CL yesterday for a nice price. Came with 2 5# c02 tanks and a regulator. As well as all the Sanke tap and hardware. So I'm hardware shopping now and here is my list so far. 1 Sanke Tap to Homebrew Conversion Kit, Ball Lock Disconects...

I can understand aroma not being impacted by 60 minute boiled hops. But flavor? What is the point of adding hops at all to your beer pre-flameout then? My understanding was that flavor and bitterness were added with early boil hop additions, and aroma was added with flame-out or post boil...
