I have a couple questions, as I'm new to kegging and can't readily find answers for them. I just bought a 2 keg system from kegconnection, when I pull the blow off valve, I get a soda smell. My plan is to clean, sanitize, and change out the O-rings. How critical is it to lube the O-rings...

I ordered that same kit yesterday and didn't seem to have a problem. Tyson

Hey everyone, I've got 3 batches of beer, and 3 batches of mead under my belt. I am going to attempt my first personal creation! Let me know if I'm way off the mark or something. I used Brew Target to get within the guidelines along with the bjcp style guidelines Tyson's Americal Amber...

I'll have to check that place out. That is a great price. Tyson

I have a co-worker whose family keeps bees. They're going to give me honey at a good price in exchange for a bottle :). Tyson

+5 gallons Irish Stout +5 gallons Irish Red Ale +5 gallons of reworked Irish Stout from above. +15 gallons 17925+15= 17940

Ah! It all falls into place now :rockin:. So likely the best thing to do, if I also plan on doing wine is get a wine bucket (7 gallons) and then carboy secondary. Or get a 6 gallon carboy primary and 5 gallon secondary. Thanks for the clarification :). Tyson

Yeah, I had planned on drinking the first bottle on the first anniversary :). So if I buy a 5 gallon and then a 3 gallon, do you really lose that much mead when you rack? Or do you rack it into 2 smaller carboys? Or is there just a relatively small amount that you just waste. I guess...

Hey everyone, I am beginning to assemble the stuff to start my first 5 gallon batch of mead. I have 2 questions that I can't seem to find an answer to. I plan on making a basic mead (no fruit, just honey.) I'm getting married in September, and plan on imbibing a bottle on our...

One board. Picked up snowboarding 4 years ago :fro:. Just recently got back from logging 2 days in Snowshoe, WV. Pretty good conditions considering they had a warm spell before we got there. Snowboard for 6-8 hours, then drink it up in the evening. Gooood times. :tank: To top it...

Thanks! I can't wait to get started. Tyson

This looks good! I'm going to brew it next. I've been trying to locate/buy all the ingredients, but for the life of me I can't figure out what this stuff is: Caramel Pils Malt Belgium I don't know if there's more stuff there and Promash chopped it off, or if I'm just an idiot and can't...

Wellbutrin did the trick for me :). 3 years, and now I only have a very occasional premium cigar. Tyson

IIRC 8oz (1/2 lb) in 1 cup. So.. 1 lb = 2 cups 2 lbs = 4 cups At least, those are the numbers I use in regular daily kitchen conversions. Cheers, Tyson

Congrats! Its been 3 weeks since I started my first batch, and I'm gonna bottle today. I can't wait! :ban: Tyson

I have a Midwest Basic Kit, and am using a Better Beer Irish Stout recipe kit as my first try and homebrewing. The kit had some grains in it, and had a grain bag along with all the stuff. If you're recipe kit uses grains, it may have the bag in it for you :). Happy Brewing, Tyson

I started out with the basic kit :). Other than buying a few bottling supplies, it had all I needed (minus kegging equipment). Bottling my first batch tomorrow! :ban::rockin: Tyson

Thanks for all the help. :). Still a few weeks from bottling my first brew, just trying to make sure I have the process straight for when I bottle. Tyson
