    Connecticut 12 corny kegs $45 each. 15 gal NEW brewpot w spout $95

    The cornies have pin lock connectors, but MOST of them are in the ball lock size. Awesome combo b/c they fit better, but have the security of pin locking. Shipping will be additional on kegs and brewpot. It is most efficient if you buy 4; i believe shipping runs $5 - $7 per keg IF you buy 4...

    WTT: A bunch of my 12 oz bottles for fewer of your 22 oz

    I have probably 4-5 cases of 12 oz bottles, along with 6-packs and case boxes for transporting them. I'm looking to swap any number of these (all, some, a few, whatever) for some 22 oz bombers or similar. Obviously you'll probably take home more bottles than i will; we'll just come up with...

    Holy crap, my IPA just fermented at 85 F for a day...

    I just put 3 fermenters in my ferm chamber: IPA, ESB, and a blueberry cyser. Set the temp for 68 on the cyser, which happens to be the furthest fermenter away from my heat source (2 75 watt light bulbs.) Ferm chamber is an insulated box in my 54 degree basement. Temp was spot on 68 on the...

    Is mixing lager yeasts OK?

    I am brewing a doppelbock this weekend, and i am planning to ferment it on the yeast cake of my Vienna Lager brewed with w34/70. But just for good measure, i was planning to pitch another packet of saflager s-23 (i don't have any more 34/70.) Is there any problem with having 2 lager yeast...

    Would chilling with ice in the brew be crazy?

    I just read a post that got me thinking. What would be the problem with using one (or more) a gallon-sized ice blocks dropped into the wort after the boil? I used a 6 gallon final volume for the calcs below. My back of the envelope math shows that one gallon of ice added to 5 gallons of...

    German brews using my sack of Maris Otter

    I'm a little new to AG and bought 55 lbs of MO thinking I'd start off heavy on the english browns and bitters. I've made one of each and liked them, but further research and a few more commercial samples made me realize I'm really more into German styles: alt, oktoberfest, and vienna lager to...

    How about a vote: force carb or natural carb in keg

    OK i read a ton of old threads and there seems to be a split on the question. First threads I read suggested that natural carb in a keg turns out "yeasty" and therefore force carb is better. Others suggested force carb is "harsh" and natural is smoother and therefore better. So, what's the...

    Anyone somewhat near Hartford have a Sanke tap i can borrow for a day?

    OK, due to a snafu detailed in this thread, I need to get a Sanke tap for use Monday night (yes, the 22nd). This is a one-time event, so i really don't want to buy one just for that. If anyone has one that I could borrow from you, I would be extremely appreciative. I can be reached at...

    Need to transfer from pump-style keg to corny w/o going stale -- any ideas?

    I just brought home a 5-gallon corny keg of commercial brew (Long Trail Double Bag, yum!) from the liquor store for a party. Only problem is that the keg doesn't have the gas in and liquid out posts like i was expecting. They gave me a picnic style tap that attaches right to the center of the...

    Why do most people use a copper dip tube?

    I am trying to figure out my dip tube situation. I have a 1/2 weldless bulkhead going through kettle. I was thinking of just adding a stainless elbow onto that inside and pointing down toward the bottom of the kettle. Then I'll probably add a very short nipple to the elbow to get me right...

    Building a keezer...can i spray paint the freezer?

    Just picked up a 6 year old 12.2 cu ft for a good-sized keezer build. It's white though and the paint isn't great in quite a few spots. I'd like to just sand, prime, and spray paint it black. Anyone see a problem with this, like having paint flaking off for the next dozen years or something?

    Modified BIAB: hitting 85%+ efficiency

    I've just started AG and after reading a bit decided to go BIAB for a little less equipment up front. I've been doing it a little bit modified though, since my 7.5 gallon kettle isn't quite large enough for a full 5.5 gallon BIAB batch. So what I do is mash in the bag with 5.5 gallons (and...

    So do you boil your coopers kit or not?

    So I got a coopers kit for giggles and to get the pipeline filled a bit while I wait for a grain order to come in. I just opened and read the instructions to see that no boil is instructed, but I have read posts where many on here do boil them. I am probably going to just go ahead and do a...

    Is there anything wrong with this $36 temp controller?

    Here's the one I'm looking at: Freezer conversion thermostat It seems to be a different category of product than the Johnson/Ranco stuff because it's so much cheaper, but I don't know what's different about its functionality (i do see it's analog.) Any reason not to go with this for...
