If you've already mixed the Star San can you still add the Campden or is it too late? I have this same issue I think, and I have a keg full of Star San mixed from my tap water.

If for some reason you are unable to hook up to a faucet or don't want to go that way at your place, you can also set up a recirculating system with a sump pump and a cooler. Use less water that way too. I basically have to do this because I do not have a suitable faucet or hookup in my rental...

Gravity pulls the beer out through your spigot, down the beer line, through the IN post, down the dip tube, and into the bottom of the keg. As the keg fills, the liquid pushes the CO2 in the keg up through the OUT post, through the gas line, and into the top of the fermenter. That way you aren't...

This is brilliant! You can do this with glass too, I think. I've been trying to figure out a way to do low oxygen transfer into a keg from a glass carboy and I think with one of those carboy hoods you could pull it off this way without having to pressurize the carboy. If you stopped just short...

Yeah I goofed on some of my water quantity stuff as well. I way overestimated grain absorption and ended up with 7.5 gallons pre-boil instead of 6.5. 90 minute boil took care of that. My efficiency wasn't too great, but it was my first time out so I wasn't expecting much. Continuous process...

How did it go? I also had my first AG day this weekend :mug:. I discovered I have a lot to learn, but the pale ale is happily bubbling away in the fermenter! Can't have screwed up too badly!

Yup, those two, Kentucky, and Oklahoma were the only states that hadn't legalized it yet when Utah did.

Yup, it's when the groupthink takes hold that it becomes a problem. Friends with several Mormons that are lovely people, but the alcohol laws here are draconian, and yes they are absolutely why we have them. The line is usually that they are trying to prevent underage drinking and other forms of...
