I love Kegging. There is nothing better to me. I hate bottling. It's soooo much work just getting the bottles prepared. So six months ago I bought the Listermann Counterflow bottle filler. The directions don't make any frakin' sense to me! I had my husband and a couple of handier guys (sorry...

I'm on vacation next week, so I picked up some White Labs East Coast Ale and I've got a freezer full of fresh hops. Just about any kind I could get my hands on. Now all I need is an EXTRACT ONLY clone recipe. I swear I'm about to start kibbying if I don't get one. I asked around and all I...

My question is, what kind of beans to pick up? I was figuring a french roast would work well. I'm picking up the vodka and beans tonight to soak for a couple of weeks. Then I'm going to put it into the carboy for a few more weeks. Whadaya'll think?

Just curious. My first tank lasted a week, so I found the silly leaks and fixed them. But I'm still wondering about how long a 5lb tank "should" last. I have a five gallon corny set up. I understand that different people carbonate to different levels, just looking for a general idea...

I just wanted to drop a line about the great experience I had getting my new Co2 tank filled. I've read horror stories about finding where to go, being handed back a crappy tank after buying/bringing in a new tank, or being forced to drop off a tank overnight. After a few days of calling around...

I almost always add honey to my wort. I like how it thins the brew up a bit, adds alcohol %'s, and adds clarity. I was making an extract brew using an american wheat kit (True Brew). I added two pounds of honey as I usually do. This time, one for the whole boil, and one pound with 15 minutes...

Hello, this is my first post here. I'm new to brewing and I have my first batch in my secondary carboy right now. I racked it on Sunday, added my stopper and airlock bubbler. When I got home from work on Monday, I looked in on it and it had blown the whole stopper out! Pissed off, I put it...
