Commercial Grade mini refrigerator (used in c-stores for cans or bottle drinks). I painted it black and frosted the glass. It has one tap on the side. You could put 2 corny kegs or 1 keg and co2 tank. I bought a keezer and have no need for the unit anymore. Top notch quality. Will last forever...

I am putting in a keezer and want to run beer lines from the keezer to behind my bar in the basement. How long can I run my lines safely-ie sanitation, foam etc....My ideal length to do project would be around 8-10 feet exposed outside keezer? Is this possible? I know the first glass of every...

What would this do to the flavor of the beer. This beer is for my neighbor's wife who only likes Corona or Miller Lite. I really don't have the time or energy to do a lager right now. What if I used an ale yeast or used a lager yeast at 70 degrees. What will this do to the brew?

Teamed up with a neighbor and brewed a cream ale. Kegged after 4 weeks and let condition a week. We split the brew (2.5gal each) into our own kegs. My brew is great! Nice creamy head and great flavor. Neighbor can hardly choke down half a glass. I'm going to taste it myself tonight, but he said...

I read that someone ALWAYS filtered their wort when pouring into primary? I never do this. Am I missing a step? I always leave it to hopefully add more flavor....What do you do???? PS- Drinking a glass of cream ale I kegged last week....very nice head and very good. :rockin:

I bought a bottle tonight to drink tomorrow. I can't wait to try it. :ban:

Tried ST CB Stout today. Very good brew, very sweet, but taste like creme brulee....

Ok...I emailed Tallgrass Brewery to get their Tallgrass Ale recipe and they gave it to me. Now my problem is that I need someone to help me come up with an extract recipe...Any help would be great. Here is what he gave me: Thanks for drinking Tallgrass! I am glad you enjoy our beers. I...

I really am curious about adding liquor to my brew? I really don't want to make a stout which typically has that option. Something like a brown ale... What can I add that would be good? Also, when do I add it? :mug:

Can I add can pumpkin pie mix to this brew? Will it make it any better or should I stick with the little bag of spices it came with? I know fresh pumpkin meat would be best, but I hear can pumpkin will still make a good beer. Also, when do I add the pumpkin mix?

Local Midwest microbrew. Great brew! Looking for a Tallgrass Ale clone? Any help would be great. It is a brown nutty flavor-very smooth. Below is from their website: ALE (ABV 4.4%, 22 IBU) Tallgrass Ale is the flagship beer of Tallgrass Brewing Company, and we think it will be your new...

I have 4 year old StarSan? I've noticed my first two batches taste cidery. I was thinking it could be acetic acid bacteria. I am a freak about sanitation, but maybe it's too old? Also, the bottle has a crack in the lid and has been exposed to air. I'm not sure how long the lid has been...

I sampled a newly kegged mexican beer today. It sat in the ferm for over three weeks FG was perfect and clarity is great. I am in the process of carbing (got it cold, 25psi, rolled around). I know it shouldn't be carbed yet, but had to taste...it tasted sweet, a tad like apples???? Does it need...

I read posts about adding gelatin sometime before bottling for clarity? Thoughts/ideas? I've let a Mexican Beer sit in Primary for almost a month now and I am about to keg. I don't mind cloudy beer, but Mexican beer is typically really clear.

I've read a lot of posts and some use a secondary and many do not. What are advantages of using a secondary and is it truly worth taking this extra step?

I was always told to use distilled water when I brew beer. Give me your thoughts on it. Does it give me a true beer flavor or is it giving me an off flavor? I've been practicing this method for a long time, so I don't know the difference.

I brewed a cervesa two weeks ago. It frem'd rather quickly due to heat, but I've left it alone for a couple of weeks. I did a gravity reading today and it is perfect at 1.008. Should I pull it and bottle it up this weekend? Color looks great as well. :tank:

I made a Peach Wheat today. The OG was a little high...at 1.070. Should I be concerned? Here is the recipe. I hope to have a great beer in a month... (2) 3.3 lb Briess Bavarian Wheat Malt Extract 4oz Crushed Belgian Caravienne Malt Grain 1oz Cluster Hops 1oz Willamette Hops 4oz Peach...

It's only been one week in the fermenter, but the airlock stopped. I know that is not a way to measure when a brew is done, so I took a reading. It is sitting at 1.012 with a OG of 1.030. What should I do? It is a cooper's mexican beer kit.
