Just moved to Northern Virginia just south of DC. Anyone have advice for a place to have my keezer CO2 tank filled?

I started brewing many years ago with buckets and quality extract, never did the Mr Beer thing. A somewhat sad story has come up, guy retired and his wife bought him a Mr Beer deluxe kit. He kept meaning to brew as soon as they got back from Florida, had a heart attack and died there. Now...

I finally joined the AHA. They took my money within 24 hours, but four weeks later emailed to say it would be another three weeks to get a card. I said that as their focus was on taking my money, not giving service, they likely got the last $38 they were ever getting from me. Posted this...

I have faily well perfected an IPA. I call it the One Hearted because I took one of the more popular Two Hearted lists out here, and I cut down slightly my hops in the begining, middle, and end, tweaked some grains and times, and I skip the dry hopping. Out of a keg after two weeks it goes...

Complete keezer newbie here. My wife and I have redone our back room as a beer room, installed a laminate floor (click type is a two man job and still sucks BTW) repaint, et al. We have our manual defrost chest freezer, 41 inches long, 21 wide. I have it set up with a johnson thermostat...

I have decided to try actual chocolate. I am making a winter warmer (5gal), and my plan right now is to add 5 tablespoons of cocoa powder at flame-out, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla at secondary. What am I doing wrong? What have you seen or done different?

I ordered an extract kit from Austin. It came today and the extract pail was cracked. That is one heck of a mess. Just nasty sticky nasty all stuck into the packing pellets. It took a while to wash it off the other items (lucky they were in sealed bags). Yuck. Austin sending another...

My wife loves Oberon. Ihave purchased the Oberon clone kit. What amount of orange zest should I put in and when? This needs to taste like Oberon or I am going to be in some trouble for the amount of my order.
