Hello fellow brewers, I'll be in Greensboro tomorrow and Monday night. I'll be busy all day so no drinking then. However, the evenings will be open for beer consumption. Where should I go, within taxi distance, for some good beers. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Dale

Thanks for the advise. I racked my dead ringer IPA into secondary a couple of days ago. I was just worried about the Star-San killing the remainder of the yeast after bottling. Last time it took FOREVER for my beer to carbonate. However I had used conditioning tablets. I'm going with Priming...

So I've made one batch of beer so far. I have noted washing/cleaning bottles to be a bit of a pain. Plus I had a hell of a time getting my beer to carb up. Is kegging easier? Interested in hearing from a few experienced guys. I'm experienced in drinking the beer. New to making it. Thanks for...

New to the site. New @ brewing. Did a batch of American Ale and it turned out all right. Although it took FOREVER to carbonate. Thinking kegging it would be easier than bottling. Any insight from some seasoned brewers would be much appreciated. Good luck and brew on!
