I going to be in Austin a couple weeks and was thinking about trying this. Anyone done it or know if it is worth it? http://www.austinbrewbus.com/

So I am mashing right now, and I made a starter Friday night with a vial of white labs cali V ale. There has been no activity in the starter, which I have never had happen before, so I'm not sure what is going on. I have a backup packet of Safale-04 that I can use, but not sure if I should dump...

I am just made a starter with some White Labs Cali V yeast. I plan on brewing a pale ale sunday with the random ingredients that I have, so was looking for a little feedback on a recipe. Hops I have: Centennial(2oz), Perle(1oz), Chinook(1oz), Amarillo(1oz), Target(1oz), Cascade(lots). I have...

I want to try fermenting in corny kegs since they fit in my chest freezer and i can control the temperature better then using carboys in the closet. I think I have it rigged up with things i already have at the house but wanted to see if anyone saw problems/better ideas. I unscrewed the out line...

I am going to be in Austin the 17th-20th this month and was wondering if people knew of any good places I should check out. I'm going to be staying a little north of the city, and am already planning on stopping by Austin Homebrew to spend a gift certificate I have.

I have a chest freezer that I have turned into a keezer, and it has been having issues lately. After it stopped working a few times, I finally figured out there is a knob that spins around kind of like the timing knob on a dishwasher or clothes washing machine, and if I give it a twist the...

I going to brew Ed's Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen this weekend and went to make a starter yesterday and did it like I normally do with pale malt extract. I was wondering if I screwed up not using some kind of wheat extract, or if it will be fine when i dump it in the beer.

Just found this page and was wondering if people have seen it before. Seems like a cool idea, and makes some quality glasses. nickpaul on Etsy - Nick Paul the Windy City Glassblower / 100% Recycled

I saw this article in the paper this morning, and thought it was kind of funny. Obviously from someone that doesn't know a whole lot about beer, and some of it is just wrong. Take a look at the hop and IPA section. Articles - From Wine to Stein

I used to love drinking Downtown Brown from Lost Coast Brewery when I was in college, and am looking to make something similar now. It's been a little while since I had it, but it was pretty dark for a brown ale, but still real smooth. I found an extract recipe online, but it doesn't really...

I have been looking to get a new watch, something nicer then I have had before. I think I want a Movado, and know that I can go to Kay jewelers and get it for about twice the price that I can find it for online. So I'm wondering how they sell them for so cheap online, are they fake or have other...

Here's some pictures of the keezer I have been working on. I still need to update the CO2, but the 4 way manifold that I bought leaks like crazy, so I am using the old one for now. I also had a question. On the outside of the freezer where the taps and shanks connect I am getting some...

I just got all the parts for my keezer together, and started assembling the CO2 today and there are leaks everywhere. All I have done so far is the regulator to the tank which is fine. Then the reg to a hose is good. Then it goes to a 4 way manifold that I bought pre-made, and it leaks...

I am thinking about putting a collar on the freezer that I have in order to put some shanks through. The freezer is already plenty tall, so I was hoping to just add a 2x4, but I think I might have a problem, and was wondering if any of you might have ideas. The hinge has screws that go down 7"...

I have been looking at towers to get for my keezer for awhile now, and have narrowed it down to 2. They are about the same price, and both are nice, but I can't make up my mind. And for all the people that looking at the price, I couldn't find anything cheap with 4 taps besides the basic chrome...

I have been working on setting up a keezer since I got a 15 cu. ft. chest freezer. I know there are people that don't recommend a tower on the top, but I think it is going to work for me. I just ordered 8 more cornies, and I still need a second regulator and manifold, but right now I'm looking...

I have been working on making a chest freezer work for serving beer with what I have. Eventually I'll put a nice tower on top and some good CO2 fittings and everything, but here is what I have right now. And when I went to try all of the kegs one of them won't pour. Just a small amount of foam...

I recently got a chest freezer that I am working on getting setup. I have a ranco ordered that will get here in a few days, and was wondering what is the best place to drill a hole for the temperature probe. And is there any place where I really shouldn't drill. Here's the freezer if it makes...

So I just got a 15.5 cu. ft. chest freezer off of craiglist that I want to serve beer from. Right now I have 3 kegs going with picnic taps in a fridge, so I know I'm going to have to upgrade all of that. But first I know I need a temp controller, and I was wondering what people thought is the...

I am thinking about getting the kegerator in the craigslist ad below, which looks like the link to the new one, but probably 5 years old. I have not seen the tank, so I don't know the size of it, but I was wondering what I would need to make it work with cornies. I already have a bunch of...
