I have been getting my CO2 from Praxair out on Benner Pike across from U-Haul. I also heard that Best Event sells CO2 at $2.85/lb. I think Praxair is cheaper. Welcome aboard!

ok, crash course time. I have only kegged beer. What is the best way to get a 12 oz out of a keg?

Yes, you can repot them but the plants should have a good root ball. You don't want the root ball to fall apart when you transplant. Not sure if you have enough root growth to transplant yet.

The burning sensation in the nose if from CO2, the by product of the yeast. How do I know???? I stuck my head in a keezer that had a CO2 leak that emptied a 40 lbs tank. It is an experience when you dip your head in the keezer and you can't even take a breath through your nose.

Caribou Slobber was my first kit beer. Those yeasties sure had a party!

I moved inside for the next brew. The wasn't boil was a lot more consistent and was able to keep the boil going. So, I blame it on the wind. The first chiller I used was a 3/8" by 50 feet and it was really slow. I did not time it but it sure took a long time. I used a different chiller on...

When I started brewing I would put my carboy in the shower (fermentation shower). They would heat up and produce a really violent fermentation because of the higher internal temperatures. I used a 1" blow off tube into a mason jar and when I noticed the heat rising I would pack the carboy with...

Open it when you are ready to pitch. I suspect the yeast nutrients were released and the yeast is munching on it. You should be able to pitch with no problems.

Welcome to the PA, umm, beer drinking club, er, beer making experts, gesh, we really only brew and drink beer...

I sure could use that Blichmann, except SWMBO has said NO! (I must show that the cost of propane justifies the purchase.)

There was a light breeze, maybe it was enough to disturb the flames heat path. Hmmm...

I used to live in Michigan, cold weather and water. I like the big beers and I am concerned about hops clogging the chiller. Are hops an issue with the plate chiller?

I want to do all gravity! I like the idea of a plate chiller. Which one do you use? I went the copper tubing coils because they were cheaper and didn't think you could use them in a gravity system. Tell me more.

I stir to increase thermal conductivity. Living in PA this winter and the water was always cold. Not sure what the temp is now, I will have to test it the next time I brew.

Is your chiller 3/8 or 1/2? Thanks

I've been doing 5 gallon batches in a Blichmann Boilermaker. The burner and Boilermaker are very efficient at heating up the wort. I used two 25' coils for cooling the wort and it took only 10 minutes to chill from 212 F to 64 F. I have just finished my first 10 gallon batch in a keggle. I...
