I'm not sure about any of you, but I've been curious as to the cost of operating my Keezer since it's inception. I've heard so many theoretical claims on here that they're more efficient than a freezer because they maintain a lower temp, cycle less, cycle shorter durations, etc. In addition...

Anybody tried Carbonated Kool-Aid? I read somewhere awhile back...but can't find it now... that the kiddies and the lady folk love it. Probably not bad with a little vodka or something added for entertainment purposes...?

Should I reduce the qty of sugar in my root beer if I plan to keg rather than bottle with live yeast? The directions that came with my Old Fashion Root Beer say 4 gallons water, 1 bottle root beer extract, 8 cups sugar... but they are bottling directions that call for live yeast, which would...

Mine measures 16.5" across, so I think they'll fit, but I'm nervous to buy one and find out it's too tight... anyone done it?

Will 1 can of frozen juice concentrate carb a 4.5 gallon batch of cider? I planned to bottle today, but I didn't realize that I only have a couple ounces of priming sugar left.... I've read a few posts about using frozen concentrate, but it seems to have mixed reviews, and I'm not quite sure...

I asked this question at the end of another thread, but I fear it's gotten lost in the other questions... I'm going on 4 weeks in primary for a raspberry cider, and I plan to rack it to secondary in the next day or so. The recipe also calls for adding 1/2 lb of lactose and 4 oz of raspberry...

I brewed a raspberry cider (my first cider) on the 19th... it was bubbling away at a rate of about one per second where I usually ferment my beer (about 65 deg F)... nothing fierce, but steady. I never really thought about it when I left for vacation on the 24th and turned the thermostat way...

Getting ready to pitch... should I shake the crap out of the carboy like I would if I was brewin' a beer?

I'm about to brew my first cider this morning for the little lady. Before I do, I've been reading through the forum and elsewhere on the web and have just a few easy questions to close a few loop holes: 1. I've always added a campden tablet to my tap water before brewing beer. On the cider...

Can anybody make sense of the green China Keg Supplier Ad on this page? If I click on it, the page I'm taken to is half english have hieroglyphics... If anyone can decipher it, can they let me know if they're a big distributor/producer of kegs for the big boys, or if they're selling cheap...

Anybody have a list of any upcoming contests? Or maybe just know of a good one? I've never done any before, but have a few brews I'd like the input on and the time to get them in the mail today if there are any convenient.....

Alright... I've been struggling with the fine tuning of my keezer. Before I go crazy, I wanted to ask how well is to be expected. Currently, I've got a sixlet of Goose Island Honker's Ale commercial and a cornie of Hop Devil Clone Home Brew. I recently swapped out the Goose Island tap to...

Has anybody had an opportunity to play with this thing? Not really for any serious use, but more for fun at or after the pub... at only $50 or so at AustinHomeBrew, it looks like kind of a fun gift for fellow bar goers... is it even remotely accurate?:drunk:

Where was this when I was bottling..... I enjoy Founders, but they lost out on many a sixer sale simply because I needed bottles..... about time.

I know this was asked in another thread, but it's kind of buried in there and I'd like some clarification before I place an order... Kegconnection's got a sweet deal right now on 'em, but I've heard mixed opinions. Not on the quality, that doesn't scare me from these guys, but the style...

Would it be overkill to add gelatin when racking to the secondary.... give it a few weeks, and then add gelatin a second time just after cold crashing but just before racking to the cornie? I've got a cream ale in the primary, and I want to see how down right perfectly clear I can make it....

Anybody using anything like this? Would be nice to know how much brew is inside without having to do the lift test. Not as worried about the temp part.

How much of a variation from top to bottom is reasonable... or at least the norm? How much is a problem, and how cold can the bottom get before you start to see problems?

I read about 5 sets of kegging directions before I just proceded to keg my first batch.... several of them said to introduce the first several rounds of C02 to the outlet side of the keg to allow the C02 to bubble up through the beer while purging any 02. The problem is, after attaching the...

I was about to order the cream ale extract kit (actually I thought I already did the other day and just realized that I didn't) from Northern Brewer, because I want to brew this weekend.... unfortunately, I know I won't get it in time, so has anyone brewed it that can offer up the ingredients...
