Work with your local home brew shop (LHBS) and get some specialty grains to steep in you liquid malt extract (LME). Adding some munich malt, or crystal malt in a steeping bag will add some dimension to a straight extract beer. What you added will depend on the style of the base beer you make...

Thanks Jordan, I plan to brew this soon. I have not had the Breakfast Stout. Neither of these beers are out here on the west coast from what I have seen. I just had a chance to taste the KBS when a friend of mine from the Midwest brought some out.

Hello to all that have brewed this recipe: I am curious what FG you are getting. The OP said 1.023. That's a bit syrupy for my taste. Has anyone cut back on the 2-row and substituted some invert sugar to get the beer to finish a bit lower? I am looking forward to brewing this beer. I had a...

How cool can you maintain? Can you ferment at 50F?

Simcoe, Summit, Centennial

Sorry, this leak is beyond keg lube. I currently have a williams brewing chubby o-ring on there, but as soon as the keg is a serving pressure or if lower to address pour issues, etc. then leak city!

Not on my part, but possibly from the prior user. I bought this keg as part of a bulk of kegs. Win some, have trouble with some.

This is the trouble that I am experiencing. high pressure no leaks, serving pressure lid seal leak BAD. There is a noticably larger gap between the keg opening diameter and the lid diameter on this keg. In other words, I see a lot more o-ring on this keg. It's as if the keg opening is...

Tilt your pinlock keg on its side so the gas in tube is higher up over the beer while pressing the poppet to avoid the beer shower.

Wayne, Does the hose float on top of the liquid leaving the grain bed alone?

Let me know how yours turns out. Golden promise is like 2 row with flavor and a bit more character! :) I'd say it add it adds a bit more sweetness to the finish, like pilsen does, but not quite as pronounced character as marris otter would. My original brew of this beer was simcoe instead of...

Jaybird, finally got a brew done with the new FB. Wow, I saw a big increase in efficiency over my rectangular extreme cooler/copper manifold setup. Thanks for the great product and excellent service. Cheers!

Received my FB and accessories yesterday. Excellent workmanship and fit, now it is time to get mashing! Thanks NorCal crew! Cheers

Hey Jaybird, I am getting ready to order an FB/dip/valve kit from you. I have a standard straight sided Sankey MLT. Can you confirm that is the 13" kit? I see your kits come with an SS 1/2" barb. I don't need that barb, can it be removed from the kit, and at what savings? How difficult...

Fill your kettle with room temp water. That even works when you are running through a charcoal filter. I can get 13 gallons of 40F water to strike temp in 35 minutes with either a BG-10 or BG-12. I always heat extra for cleanup water. I easily get 3 brews from a 20lb cylinder. Cheers

Nanofreak, let me know what you think! Cheers!

OHG, please check the other thread I have on this regulator issue. I posted the advise from Bayou Classic on how to remedy. Not too sure I follow the logic. Please comment on the following if you don't mind. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/trouble-30psi-propane-regulator-298625/#post3714211...

I got two different responses from two different folks at Bayou Classic. I will post the safest of the two responses :). I am not quite I understand how this will help, but here is what I was told. The particular tech I spoke with said that the orifice size is the issue. Stock for the bg12s...

OHG, Thanks. I will adjust the height this evening. I thought a height of 4-5 inches was discussed in anoher thread. I will tighten it up a bit. Cheers

Here are the burners in action before the regulator goes to limp mode. I have hope...
