Yeah,I have been looking on craigslist but haven't found anything yet. It is also hard to tell online if the fridge is a good size for a half keg. Do you have any reccomendations for fridges if I want to go to alocal store and pick one up?

Hello all, I am looking at purchasing a Kegerator within the next few days and have been searching through various sites for something moderately priced. The three I have been looking at are: Edgestar KC2000SS Magic Chef 4.9 Danby 5.2 Can anyone give me some feedback on any of these...

Hello all, I have been shopping for a small compact refrigerator for a kegerator. I have gone to a bunch of local stores but nothing seems to be large enough to hold a half-keg. Just about everything I see has a shelf on the bottom making it not tall enough to fit a half-keg. I was wondering...

Ahh... Thanks for pointing that out. I currently put an airlock on the bottle I used for this. Should I take it off? And for future starters what should I put on top of the bottle in place of a airlock?

Thanks for the post! I will try to relax and just continue as planned. I just don't want to ruin a whole 5gal batch cause the yeast is dead.

what exactly should I be looking for to know that the yeast is still good?

Hey all, Well here is another Wyeast smack pack problem. This is my first time working with liquid yeast and I think it might be dead. I received my yeast through the mail two days ago and decided to try it out yesterday morning. Taking it out of the box I noticed the package has a lot of air...

Does anyone have any other recommendations for Beer of the Month clubs? I tried to find reviews of some but their don't seem to be many. Before I sink $150 or so into one as a gift I would like to make sure it is actually decent.

I am new to brewing and I live in a small apartment in New York that gets fairly hot. I have some graff brewing in my small dark closet. How does the temperature affect fermentation? After I pitched my yeast last Thursday I had very vigorous fermentation for around 4 days and now it has died...

Just put 5g in primary with a little extra hop to it. Taking it to 225!

Last night was my first attempt at making Graff, as well as my first time doing any type of boiling for brewing. I was following the directions exactly until I mistakenly put the full 1oz bag of Saaz hops into the pot. As soon as the last hop hit the pot I knew I just screwed up big time. I went...

I am going to be trying to make some Graff next week. I have only brewed one other batch of anything before and it was using wine yeast. I am wondering if it is ok to use my 5gal carboy with this recipe and the nottingham yeast. Just want to make sure it won't foam up a lot and overflow.

I plan on starting another batch while this one is aging. Can you give any yeast or easy recipe recommendations?

If I let this batch sit in the bottles for another month or more will it age and taste better? or does that need to be done in the carboy?

Yeah, I got the recipe from here Savvy Housekeeping » How To Make Apple Cider but I also found the same recipe from a few other places.

my OG was 1.050 and my FG was 0.99 We just finished the first bottle and it definitely tastes like white wine. I even had some cider vinegar sitting around so I tried and it tastes completely different. hehe When you say you let it sit for around 10 months. Do you think it would taste better...

I just drank my first bottle of Hard Cider and I have to say it has upset me. It doesn't taste anything like I was expecting. At first taste myself and girlfriend thought it had a strong vinegar taste but after a little more drinking we thought it tastes a lot like a white wine with a slight...

Thanks to everyone that has replied. I know I don't really know what I am doing yet so I appreciate the range of response I got. Thanks again!

I think I am phrasing it wrong. I don't mean very light beer. I kinda mean I don't want an extremely heavy beer, something that is black as midnight. Can you guys point me towards a recipe or kit that you think might be good for a beginner?

Hello all, I am a brand new brewer and I started my first brew yesterday with an easy Cider to learn some of the basics. Now that this will be sitting for awhile I would like to find a recipe so i can gather all the ingredients to start after I bottle the cider. I am wondering if anyone...
