    Co2 cartridges

    Anyone ever use these. I'm going to a part and bringing a keg. Wanted to see if I could get away with doing that instead of lugging a huge c02 canister too. I was going to do the picnic tap and the portable charger. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Witte beer and step mashing

    I was going to try and do a clone of a witte beer but don't rally have the set up to do step mashing. I have a 10 gallon mashtun and pot. Would there be a huge difference if I did a standard mash at 152 for 60 minutes? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
