oh, cool deal.

Congrats on the first batch. One thing I would recommend is that you not use the water from the garden hose. Keep a spray bottle handy for boil overs. The hose water can have a funky taste, and contain some nasty chemicals if the hose is not rated for drinking water.

There are some potential issues with using the sprayer to top off. Mainly the bacteria that may be on the sprayer tip and in the water. Also using non-boiled tap water may have excessive chlorine (according to the ppm in your area). But hey, if you like your end result then there are no...

I have ordered 3 times, and been really happy with the shipping times and crush. Defiantly beats the pants off my LHBS. :ban::rockin:

if you are willing to break it up I would be interested in the keggle.

since the beer is almost completely made of water...I would go with 32 degrees.

Whats the shipping cost to Kernersville NC?

while I do not have any detailed plans for this build, I can tell you something... Being a dick will get you nowhere on this forum. GL with the build.

do you have a design for your tippy dump?

I just picked one up to tryout. Its not rubber on the top and bottom, but a plastic cap. You can pop it off to reveal a rounded bottom. Time to call the welder. I got this keg for cheap and they had like 15-20 more just waiting to get bought by me if I can make this work. anyone interested...

I cant find a keg to save my life on CL in the Greensboro area.

Does anyone know if the rubber will come off? I have an opportunity to pick up 5 kegs like this on the cheap. I just need to know if I can use them for keggles.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/bee-cave-brewery-haus-pale-ale-31793/ this is a good 1st ag recipe.

It is most likley just krausen. I have the same thing on top of my blonde ale in the primary right now. The sample I pulled of was just fine. :mug: RDWHAHB!

There are no bad things that can come from more yest int the wort. All you did was make their job easier.

I am assuming you are talking about the wort for the starter pre-pitch. If so that is fine. Just let it cool to 70 degrees again before adding the yeast. :mug:

I am not a kegger but I would venture a guess that you could bend the diptube a little so that it doesnt touch the trub. You may need new o-ring to fix the leaking issue....but again not a kegger.

http://www.weekendbrewer.com/beerflavorwheel.htm see what describes it best in the wheel.

I don't think the lights would cause the taste. If you say it a hot alcohol taste, that would be related to the yeast. If it had a cardboard/stale bread flavor that would be oxidation. It was most likely a bad set of bottles that were infected or had a massive temp flux. Are the ones that...

you could make a starter tomorrow for a Saturday brew day (or Sunday). Until then keep it in the fridge.
