SSIA. Located in VT. ONLY LOOKING TO TRADE FOR PLINY. Unfortunately do not have the time to buy for you and ship outside of trading....Let's chat :mug:

Id like to start bringing corny kegs to parties this fall. I usually naturally carbonate so a little more yeast sediment forms in my kegs. My question is, if I bring a warm keg to a party, and chill it for a few hours, will that be enough time to cool the whole keg and pour clear yeast free...

I brewed my first ever AG American Wheat beer. The Brew day went great. Hit my target OG right on the nose. I rehydrated a package of Safabrew wb-06 and pitched it. Fermentation started nice and quick. There was a good deal of blowoff as I used a 5 gallon carboy. Fermentation the ceased for a...

Tomorrow I am going to brew a pretty hoppy IPA ( think Hopdevil). I have washed s04 that I can make a starter with, or I can use slurry for an IPA that ill be racking today. My question is what would be the best yeast to use? Should I use the slurry for convenience or should I make the starter...

Tomorrow I will be brewing my first All Grain American Wheat beer. This is my third attempt at AG brewing. First attempt was messy, missed my target OG, but wound up with a GREAT beer. Second attempt was 2 days ago and it went really well. Could have used a couple more points in my starting...

I brewed a 5 gallon batch of 60 min. IPA clone yesterday. All went well, but I am a little bit worried about the appearence of my fermentation. I made a starter using one pint of water, 5 tbsp xlight DME, and some ranched and washed 1187 yeast I've had in my fridge for about a month. I let the...

So, Ive now poured about 10 kegs through my kegerator, and Its been nicely balances, and pouring great. I out a keg of Belgian IPA on tap 3 days ago, and its been pouring SUPER foamy. I carbed it with 4 oz of corn sugar just like all my other kegs.the beer looks clear in the line when it...

A Google search produced some good results, but most of which mentioned pricey vaccum dealers that cost $100 or more. Any good suggestions that are a bit lighter on the wallet? Thanks!

I'm sick of my taps getting sticky, and id like to invest in some perlick faucets. I've been looking at the 525 model. Are thesetje way to go? Also, will these fit right on any tower? I bought a generic 2 tap tower on eBay for like $90. Thoughts?

So, Ive noticed that my taps (2 tap chrome tower>2 cornys) are always super tight and hard to move when not used for a few days. What is this and is it avoidable? Im thinking it's either built up pressure and/or just sticky/sugary faucets.. Also, I will be leaving town for work for a month...

I recently kegged with corn sugar for the first time. I've let it sit for 2 weeks now I'm ready to serve. Should I bleed the headspace before hooking up the c02? I assume it would f low to hard if not.

Im thinking about priming a keg with corn sugar. ive scoured the inyterwebs big time, and came up with a million different answers. How much corn sugar should I use to prime a 5 gallon keg of Belgian Wit. Also, how long will this typically take to reach carbination. Ive also read that it...

I brewed a double IPA/pliny clone. Fermentation started 7 days ago, and its still going. I used a blowoff tube for the first 4 days or so then switched to.an airlock. I brewed this same beer last month, and it finished out in 4 or 5 days. Why would this batch still be fermenting? A few...

I have 2 kegs force carbing in my kegerator. I put a fresh 5 gallon tank in there yesterday, and after 24 hours of 30 PSI (on 2 Kegs) the gas level has dipped out of the green "full" area on my regulator. Could it be that force carbing eats so much gas, or could it just be that my regulator is...

and Im not sure if this worked. Basically pitched some ranched yeast into a starter I made. I made a 1/2 gallon starter in a 1 gallon growler. pitched my ranched yeast. put an airlock/stopper on top and gave it a shake. A Nice Krauesen has formed and there is a small yeast cake on the bottom...

I kegged my first Double IPS today. I dry hopped it heavily in the secondary. When I racked it off into the keg today, quite a bit of plant material went with the beer. Next tim Im definitely going to use a sack, or make a tea for dry hopping. Is all this material going to come out my tap? Or...

Or should I stick to only a similar DME for the style I plan to brew? I am going to brew an IPA, but I currently only have wheat DME here, is it ok to use? Thanks!

So Ive decided to start trying to ranch yeast out of my 6.5 gallon plastic primary. Figured it would be a good way to save some $ and learn how to do this.... I followed the instructions in Palmers book. Poured some slurry from the bottom of my bucket after racking, into a mason jar. added...

I just bottled a batch of Oatmeal stout, and a few pours off of the bottling bucket produced a little bit of foam. I waited a few fills (ie: filled a few, then capped a few) for it to setlle, but didnt want to wait to long in fear of oxygen interfering. I capped on the beer with the foam ring in...

I have an IIPA that fermented out. after 10 days, Ive racked it to the secondary. Should I wait to add my first round of dry hops until it has cleared, or is it ok to start dry hopping while it is still a bit cloudy?
