Last minute look for a keg for my kegerator this NYE. I haven't brewed in a keg in a while and my kegerator needs a beer. Normally I would get from Captain Lawrence Brewing, but they're closed today. Anybody know of any distributors around here that would have 5gallon kegs of beer? Thanks

Hello all. I stopped by the local professional beverage dispensing company to grab some parts I needed to split my regulators up so I could have an easy travel setup. While there, I asked if they had any simple faucets lying around I could have for my travel setup. Well he brought out a new...

Just did a load of laundry in preparations for an upcoming business trip and accidentally tossed my work clothes on top of my used hop bags from this weekends double brew. As my dryer is currently running, my bathroom (where my washer/dryer are located) has the strongest hop aroma coming out of...

For my first cider, I decided to go simple and just go with juice and yeast to see where it takes me and then build from there. So we have a local unpasteurized, unfiltered apple juice that is sold in stores. Excellent juice. So I took about 9liters (2.4gallons) and a packet of Champagne...

This is one for all you international folks out there. I just picked up a 10kg co2 tank here in Finland and was planning on getting my regulator stateside when I head to NY in a few weeks. It just dawned on me that the thread sizes might be different from one standard to the other. In the...

Well title says it all, I'll be watching it in the morning. Just curious why it was aired here first?

I am in the process of building my kegerator and have room for 2 cornies in it. One of my selling points to SWMBO was that when one of the taps is free, we could keg some soda water to dispense there. After reading this post, I started to think about how soda is dispensed in...

Ok, this is far from your average build so I thought I would share. I am probably the only one who would need/want this, but I figured I would post it anyways. I am currently living in a decent sized apartment in Helsinki, but quite limited on space for what I can use for brewing, storing...

Not sure what it would really would be called, so my search attempts didn't yield anything. During fermentation, our little yeast buddies are creating a ton of CO2 that is essentially getting wasted. Is there any way of catching that CO2 and bottling or something? We use club soda to mix...

Hello all in a few moments I am about to hop on a plane and fly 8hrs to NY. I just bottled last night what I think to be my best beer yet, a bourbon vanilla porter. As it in its bottling state blows all my previous beers away, I was thinking of bringing a few bottles to my father...

I tried searching on this topic, but came up short on answers. I was planing on making a dry cider this winter to be ready for summertime drinking and picked up some Champagne yeast as I prefer a drier cider. However one of our local breweries here does a black cider that my SWMBO and I tried...

Sorry if this topic has been discussed, but my googlefu is failing, and well I just finished a double brew and am too tired to try 100 different searches. I did my brew, but had problems with my hydrometer so just put my wort into the fermenter an pitched my yeast onto it. However at the end...

I am drinking an Erdinger Weissbier at the moment and as always, I check out the bottle while I am drinking it. One thing caught my attention. "Erdinger Weissbier is a traditional Bavarian wheat beer brewed in strict accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516." Now I am not an...

Hey all, not sure if I posted this in the right section, but I'm having difficulties locating any retail homebrew supplies here in Dublin. I'm here for a few more days before heading back to Finland and was hoping to grab some simple supplies. Thanks to any information you can offer. Mike

Hey all. Sorry to have this as my first post here, but I am brewing with a new setup and am getting strange results. I just put together a new brew setup where I am currently living. I have brewed in the past when I was still in NY, but this is my first time since moving to Helsinki almost...
