    What I did for beer today

    Brewed a White IPA and a German Altbier with my homemade single tier -3 burner brewing stand. Both will be on tap for Thanksgiving.

    Post your infection

    American IPA in the secondary for a few days. FG has not been reached and fermentation is very slow. I don't think it's an infection based upon going through 78 pages of some nasty pictures. Just want a second opinion.

    Kegged too many gallons - no room in kegerator

    I feel better - both in kegerator are tapped - the one in the basement is patiently waiting its' time for the limelight. Thanks for the quick responses. I figured I'd get a lot of "I'll help you with the low consumption issue you seem to be having!". :tank:

    Kegged too many gallons - no room in kegerator

    Got a question, Beer consumption has not matched production and I now have two full kegs in the kegerator and third one I kegged Sunday is not in cold storage (due to lack of space in kegerator or refrigerator). I do not do any priming sugar when I keg - CO2 is the carbonation conditioning...

    :mug:Brewing 5 gal of Traveling Man's Pale Ale so it will be ready for Christmas. Have two other 5 gal batches (an IPA and a Brown Ale) in their second fermentation - one will be kegged this weekend and the second next weekend. This batch should be ready in 15 to 20 days. Guess I'll have to...

    Show us your Kegerator

    My son Jerry saved beer cans and forged me a tap handle for my kegerator! I am impressed and love it- had to share. Jerry, Danielle and Amanda (my kids) came up with the thought of a tap handle for my Christmas gift and this was the result.... They absolutely made a one-of-a-kind gift that I'll...

    Kegerator Help!

    Got it and it is all set up... One tap is the Whitehouse Honey Porter and the other is White Chablis It will only hold two Kegs and is not difficult to set-up. I really like it and am ready to brew some more. :ban:

    Kegerator Help!

    It is the only two tapper listed on kegconnections.com (KR2200 on the invoice). I don't work for them nor do I get a kickback (but a free shirt would be cool) and to customize the Kegerator, you have to call Tony or Ben. I talked to both and they were both helpful. BTW I don't know if it can...

    Do you bleed off pressure to pour after carbonation is complete?

    I like the set and forget and will use that in the future. Had to rush the carbonation on this batch so we can enjoy on Thanksgiving. Thanks for the link too. Dave

    Do you bleed off pressure to pour after carbonation is complete?

    I've searched and cannot find the answer so here is the question. I have been carbonating my first keg for a few days at 25 PSI and 40 degrees. I believe it is about done now but don't know what the best method or best practice is to reduce the pressure so I don't over carbonate or the beer...

    Kegerator Help!

    I can answer tomorrow - I ordered a two tap Kegerator with upgraded Perlick taps and a three gauge two tap regulator, 2 5 gal corneys and a 5 lb aluminum tank last Thursday and it all gets here TODAY (out for delivery). I bought a keg locally and a second C02 last Friday (I want at least 3 kegs...

    What I did for beer today

    Tried my first kegged beer - the Whitehouse Honey Porter. Needs a little more carbonation but tastes GREAT :) Was freaked out because I had read the posts about contamination and infections last night....:( Dave

    How do you transfer beer from a 5 Gal Keg to a 2 1/2 Gal Keg

    That sounds GREAT! So, it will retain the carbonation and not get oxygenated or flat- which was my main concern. Can't wait to try it out....

    How do you transfer beer from a 5 Gal Keg to a 2 1/2 Gal Keg

    I've got a Kegerator with two 5 Gal Corneys for my brew. I also have a portable 2 1/2 gal corney with the picnic tap and small C02 for portability and to take with me when I go camping or go on long motorcycle trips (overnight type). My question is how can I transfer some carbonated beer...

    Hi from the Midwest

    Found this site on-line and am hooked. Sounds like a lot of great people with a ton of knowledge you are willing to share. I am relatively new to brewing but have jumped in with both feet. Got a cheap kit for Christmas 2 years ago from my wife and haven't looked back. Just this week, got...
