    Good deal on Glass Carboy

    The last time this deal came around I picked one up and posted on here and several others did as well so I'm going to pass it along again. To be clear, I have no interest in this, I dont sell these, bla bla bla. I'm just passing along what seems like a pretty good deal to me...

    smoker mod question

    my last few smokes i have gotten a flare up in the wood chip box which has caused a ton of undesireable thick smoke. i caught it quickly both times and vented the cabinet so the food wouldnt take any creosote or off flavors and it was fine, but i was wondering if there are any ways to reduce...

    tailgate smoke

    i have a football doubleheader this weekend, UCF v. FIU today, and the Dolphins game tomorrow, so I had to smoke a pork butt for at least one of them. This beauty just came out of the smoker after 15hrs. No foil, just low and slow all the way. Bone came out and the damn thing almost fell...

    Another Sorbate question

    I forgot to rack to a new carboy before adding my K sorbate. I was thinking I should add a little more to the new carboy when I rack tonight, but I dont want to overdo it. How much is overkill and is it a good idea to add more sorbate to my new carboy to rack on top of tonight? I read...

    First smoke

    Just got a GOSM and fired it up for the first time (after seasoning it) last night. Made some bacon wrapped chicken breasts that came out fantastic. Smoked for 225 for about 3hours and turned it up briefly to crisp up the bacon at the end before pulling them out. Im hooked... A pork butt is...

    Kegerator keezer build question

    I have a kegerator, and i was curious to see if anyone has done one of those keezer builds with a store bought kegerator to make it a little nicer looking. hard to search for that because as soon as you type "keezer" you get all the keezer builds. I was thinking of turning the kegerator...

    bad temp control

    i misread the vial of yeast I used for an Alaskan Amber Clone (White Labs WL029). it said to pitch between 70-75, and ive been keeping the temp up there for all of fermentation. I'm 6 days in so far and its still bubbling away, is there anything I can do from here on out to reduce the bad...

    adding coffee to a stout

    Ok i know there are plenty of threads on here to read though for advice on adding coffee, the only problem is that they all have different measurements or are lacking some sort of crucial information (for the most part) I want to dumb it down and ask again because I want to add coffee to the...

    secondary ferm vs. kegging

    I have an oatmeal stout in the carboy right now about 2 weeks in and fermentation is pretty much done (i used a fast acting yeast that blows up quickly). i want to know if there is a big difference between using a secondary fermenter or just racking it to my keg to condition in the kegerator...

    how to get iodophor taste out of lines

    So when i bought my kegerator used, i sanitized everything and ended up leaving some iodophor/water in the beer line for about a week. now i have an obnoxious situation. my first pour tastes like iodophor. if the beer gets to sit in the line for any significant amount of time, it tastes like...

    Amount of CO2

    I am a noob and just bought my first kegerator used in great shape. The 5lb CO2 bottle has some gas left in the tank. I have just kegged my first brew. After cleaning/sterilizing the keg and lines I am down to about 650psi. How much will I need to push out the 5gal. I am of course looking...
