    Currently in the fermenter...

    What exactly are you going for? Also 5 gallons? Homebrewing is about what YOU like.. IMO. I would put a lot more hops... Maybe dry hop it. Also I would add a lb of honey malt or something to add more character/body to the beer. Sounds to me it will be a light brew which there's nothing wrong...

    Hangover cures

    Other than drinking water before bed. One of the few benefits of being in the military is the next day I just hook up to an I.V. Always does the trick.

    Cold crash then keg condition warm?

    I cold crash.. Then transfer into keg an bulk age it in basement, which stays right around 60.. With winter coming it will go down to about 55. Which is great... I have no problems with this method. But with u doing 40 gallons of beer I would pre plan what u tend to age the longest. Porters...

    To those who dry hop in kegs...

    I have done this also, after a few pints the beer should clear out around the dip tub... I keg hopped in a tea ball over 2 oz an worked just fine for me..

    Breweries in New England!

    Treehouse brewing is a must!! Jack Abby's is a must! Opa opa milk stout is also good... (Not a huge fan of opa opa but milky stout is good) there are so many good ones! I would go to the local package store (Julio's or Austin liquors) an look around.

    Bottling Beer from a Keg

    No. Sorry that's on me I didn't explain well. When I'm filling my bottles from the keg (yes beer is carbed) but I always add a pinch of corn sugar just to ensure carbing down the road. Most beers for me I like them around 3volums 2.8... Right around that.. When u fill from the keg u lose a...

    Bottling Beer from a Keg

    IMO I like my beer good an carbed so after I take the bottles out of the fridge I always add a pinch of corn sugar to each bottle just to make sure...never had any problems

    Dry Hopping - First time poster

    Welcome! I'm assuming its a 5 gallon recipe, with that being said dry hopping IMO with leafs is a pain in the ass! It's going to suck up a lot of ur beer an it's a ***** to clean out. Anyways, 3oz seems like a whole lot of dry hopping IMO. But this is what home brewing is all about, it's not...

    Homebrewing in public (Wisconsin)

    Hahahaha, but paying a fine sucks when ur wrong.... Only thing I see wrong is the "drinking in public" A, you are in the public.b, you have to drive after brewing. Now I understand a few beers an most likely you will be fine, but under the eye of the law ur not. C, who's liable for u on public...
