A buddy and I just completed a kegerator build for a fellow jarhead who was in Afghanistan. We included a stout faucet. He just got back last evening. When he went to go get a much deserved beer, he would get beer out of the stout faucet for like two seconds then it would slow to a drip...

Diageo Guinness, in conjuction with the Bridge Foundation, has been giving away free Guinness Lager to active duty/veteran military and first responders. The amount you can get is SIX cases. The article is below. The address is 5300 Adamo Drive for anyone in the Tampa area (or for those up...

I am wondering what other styles of beers besides stouts do well on a stout faucet? I want to try something lighter than a stout so the wife can enjoy the creaminess that comes from the stout faucet (no crude comments required) :). Thank you.

Is there an existing thread in which brewers post the water report from their specific location? I think this would be useful (as I search for one for my own location).

Having done six lagers, I think/thought that through trial and error, I had the process pretty well figured out but still have a few questions. For the lager in question, I had reduced activity (but could still see actually bubbles coming up from the bottom) in the airlock and assumed it was...

I am trying to put together the grain bill for Dude's Pub Ale which calls for "flaked soft white wheat American." My LHBS caries "toasted flaked wheat" and "raw unmalted wheat malt" and "soft white wheat malt." Which one should I be using? Thanks!!!

I just got off the phone with Airgas and they quoted me $198 for a cylinder of Beergas (this includes purchasing the cylinder). Does this seem right? Are there any Tampa bay brewers that know of a cheaper place? I want to add a stout faucet but the endevour seems pretty pricey thus far. Thanks.

Has anyone purchased and tried one of these? I didn't find any posts in the forums. I may have to do another unaffordable purchase for the sake of science...

Well I have decided to start looking into the water chemistry aspect of brewing. With that in mind, I am hoping someone has been able to run down a detailed water analysis for Albany, Oregon. I have tried off and on for six months. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Next, is...

Brewers, I am going to do my first IPA in the form of a Dark IIPA (buddy picks the brew, buys the ingredients and I brew for us:)). I have a variety of hops from previous brews. Although I am not experienced enough to know what hops are right or are not right for an IIPA. This is what I...

My apologies for not looking up this question but I am mid brew and have having an AC put in (not going to waste a day off by not brewing). Can I simply save a portion of my yeast starter (in sanitized containers and having pulled the beer off after it has settled) and refrigerate for later...

If you are in that area, check out Craigslist. I just did a group buy and got 29 kegs at $20 a piece (in Springfield). Used but in GREAT condition. :ban:

I bought the British instead of the English Ale yeast. I am making an American Pale that I have used English the last two times. Will the British throw it off or am I safe to proceed? Thanks!!!

I scored a 10 gallon pyrex carboy. It was full of acid (not sure which flavor). What is the best method to clean it out for brewing use? I also scored a 6 or 6.5 that held ammonia. What would be the best for that one? Thanks!!!!

Brewers, So I have learned a great deal from reading, listening, and mistakes. While preparing to brew recently I was listening to Jamil's radio show and he was talking about transferring his wort and letting it sit so that all the cold break and trub could drop out. He would then move to...

...coming home and entering your garage to check on your most recent brew's fermentation status only to find that your failure to have a temp controller on your lagering fridge (because it had stayed at a consistant 33 for the last week) has resulted in a frozen and shattered carboy full of a...

Do I do the D rest and then move to secondary prior to lagering or do I leave it in primary the whole time? Thanks!!! J8D

I am attempting to brew Jamil's Helles Bock which calls for a multi step infusion mash (this will be my first multi step). In crunching my numbers for the various steps, I end up with just over 2 gallons for sparging in order to hit my 8 gallon boil mark. I am using 12.25 lbs of grain. My...

Do I have to get SS shanks with SS faucets? What is the down side of using chrome shanks with SS faucets? Thanks!!!

I have read numerous posts concerning attenuations and efficiency. So this is not the completely uneducated question. Yet, I am still confused. I completed my 5th all grain recently and have identified a trend that I would like to correct. I hope to have all of the required info/data to get...
