I am looking for the best solution for adding third keg into the loop of my system. I currently have a dual body regulator. As of now this allows me to force carb one keg(when needed) while I can serve the other. I want to split one of the lines so it can serve 2 kegs while still maintaining the...

The Red Mongrel is an American Amber ale with a slight twist. The twist being, I used US versions of European Noble hops for the recipe. So the ingredients are all domestic but it goes against the style with the hop profile. If you like a smooth quaff-able beer with a great taste. Give this a...

I want to know if attaching a shopVac or regular vacuum cleaner to one of these can be done to store hops. I do not really want to get a food saver if I don't have to. I have searched on the web but have not found anything about doing it this way. I was hoping that someone here tried this. Any...

I decided to go with the "lawnmower beer" approach. What do you think? Here it is on the bottle:

I was wondering if using WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast to make a black lager style beer(Schwarzbier) would work. I have a fermentation cabinet but I don't want to invest the time into lagering. From what I have read this process takes a long time. If I could ferment at like 55-60*F for 4...

I have this amber ale that I have made several times which I really enjoy but it does not seem to fit into a classification.. I got an extract kit a couple years ago as a gift. It was ahs's special holiday ale. I don't like spices and stuff in my beer so I left that out and ended up with a...

I am sure it has been covered, but my searches did not bring much up. I like clear beer and every time I bring a keg up to my porch to share with friends the beer gets stirred up and it is all cloudy. How do people avoid this? Filtering? I normally use a secondary/gelatin so the beer going...

I am finally making the move to full boils and AG so I need a burner. I am considering 2 different kinds and would like members' input. I will be only doing 5-6 gallon batches. I am restricted to propane. The 2 different burners are the Bayou Classic Banjo - KAB4 or the Bayou Classic SQ14. I...

2 questions: 1. 1st time using a cooler. I had only used DB's method prior. I used a 2 gallon igloo. 4lbs of grain, 5.5 qts of water there was not a lot of headroom. I lost like 6.5 degrees over an hour long mash. I imagine most of the heat escaped from the lid as it is not well insulated. Is...

I have an AHS holiday ale kit that someone bought me for x-mas that I just got around to making Saturday night. I figured I would make it and just not add the spices since the holidays are past and I am not really into that kind of beer... Anyway, still no bubbling in the air lock. I opened it...

I was recently playing around with some ideas for my vanilla porter which is being bottled very soon. A little background on the imagery for the labels. Version #1 is a picture of the Tetons. I used to live in Jackson, Wy and I thought the whole white snow/vanilla thing worked. Version#2 -...

Will using Knox gelatin before bottling affect bottle conditioning? I am wondering if it slow down the natural carbonation process. Thanks, carl
