    Hooking up commercial kegs to a former homebrew keezer

    Hi all, quick question for my friend I'm hoping someone can help us. I sold him my keezer. It's the converted chest freezer with a wooden collar and 4 holes drilled into the collar. It has 4 Perlick faucets and some beer line/wing nut combos sitting inside the keezer. He doesn't homebrew...

    Beer for a wedding on November 15

    Hi all In about 2 months I'll be serving 6-7 kegs of beer at my wedding party. Through some crazy circumstances, the wedding has been moved up to that date as opposed to next May when I thought it was going to be. This puts a damper on my brewing plans because I have a bunch of full kegs...

    WLP004 for a Scottish Wee Heavy

    Evening all...I have a vial of fresh WLP004 that I bought by mistake. I looked up what it made and nothing really popped out at me as something I'd want to brew right now. I looked up its Wyeast equivalent and it's Wy1084 Irish Ale, which Wyeast says will produce a strong scotch ale...

    Yeast performance - old vs new

    Just something my friend and I were talking about and wanted some other opinions on the topic. Let's say you take two liquid yeasts, any style. One dated February 1 2014 and one dated July 25 2014 (today). You want to step each up to say, 250b cells. You use yeastcalc/mrmalty whatever, and...

    Anyone else not like eating while drinking?

    When I drink, the only thing I ever want to eat is salty/snack food and just a little bit at that. I don't like eating dinner or some big deal with beer, I just don't like the flavors meshed together. When I drink, I only want to taste the beer and that's it. Plus food just fills my stomach up...

    What is your favorite Pale Ale hop?

    American Pale Ale that is. It's almost summertime and for me that means lighter, hoppy sessionable ales that I can crush. For me, nothing beats Chinook. That piney, herbal flavor/aroma is amazing to me.

    Maris Otter shortage?

    Anyone's LHBS having trouble obtaining Maris Otter? I talked with mine here in Cincinnati yesterday and he said his distributor is sending them a Maris Otter "blend" because they're having trouble getting full bags. I have never heard of anything like this before, anyone have any input?
