$$$SOLD$$$ I have a Farm To Table ticket for Thursday night of the GABF. This is the Farm To Table Ticket only. If you want to go, you need to already have a ticket to the Thursday night session. Offered at Face Value which is $55, but I'm open to offers. Read up on the event HERE. It's...

So I just kegged an American Brown this past weekend. Everything went well with the transfer and I was, for the first time, able to do a closed transfer from my carboy (better bottle) into the beer out side of the keg. I got everything cleaned up and suck the gas on the gas in side to give...

so I modded my ECB by putting the legs on the outside, swiss cheesing the charcoal pan and installing a real thermometer in the lid. I'm a couple hours into my burn off/temperature control test run (no meat on there) and I seem to be running WAY hot. I just drilled a hole in the lid and...

my search fingers are toast. Does anyone know the specs of the posts/thread size/pitch for an Alloy Products Corp 22" tall, 9" diameter, pin lock keg? From the look of them, they look exactly like the Cornelius brand pin lock kegs, but I'm trying to find out what the threads are of the...

So, I normally cook food outside on my Weber propane grill, but have recently had the desire to cook over charcoal. Instead of going all in and spending big $ on a charcoal kettle, I borrowed my parent's never used Weber Smokey Joe. So, I've been poking around on line for fuel for this...

I may be grasping at straws here, but I'm looking for a 5 gallon ball lock keg that is ~22" tall or shorter. In my searches I've found out that pin lock kegs are generally 22" tall and that ball lock kegs are generally 25" tall. I have a link saved where someone was selling short 22" ball...

I've got a beer that's been in bottles for 6-8 weeks now and it's tasting great. This was only my second batch and as I was racking it into the bottling bucket the little strainer cap thing popped off my racking care and a fair amount of sediment (4oz's of dry hop pellets/no bag) ended up in...

I have a recipe for a Dunkelweisen that calls for the following: Grains 4oz Belgian Aromatic 8oz Belgian CaraMunich 4ox Belgian Special B Extract 1lb light DME 6lb Wheat Extract in looking on my LHBS's website, they have Grains Aromatic Malt 20 L (Belgian) Caramunich 70 L...

So I've got my converted keg, I've got a thermometer and a ball valve so I'm 95% ready to put this thing to use. I just need to get the drain tube part sorted out. it's my understanding that I need a 1/2" compression fitting and a few inches of copper pipe to make this happen. I'm...

My first batch has been in the bottle for nearly 2 weeks now and I havent opened any of them and don't plan on opening any of them until Sunday at the earliest. I do pull a bottle out every few days to look at it and I can't see any sign of carbonation. Is there a way to check to see if...

I haven't posted much here because, up until recently, I hadn't yet brewed anything, but I currently have my first batch in secondary (a Bells 2 Hearted Ale clone) and the recipe calls for a 1 oz centennial dry hop. I've read a bit about dry hopping and I know some, maybe most, of you don't...

I had a couple of kegs cut into kettles and want to make sure I have the prepping process down before I get past the point of no return. I have some PBW and some Star San for them. from what I understand I need to use the PBW on them first and then the Star San. I have the mixing...

Take this thread with a grain of salt. I don't mean to offend anyone with my opinion. Please also consider that I live in San Diego so the beers here are a bit different and I'd like to think that the brewers out here are a bit more experienced with the big hop stuff. So my local pub had...

I purchased a 2 1/2" stem Thermometer from Zymico on November 15th. I paid with a Paypal E-check (my wife helps raise funds for a few local animal rescues and at the time our Paypal account was full with about $600 worth of donations and I didnt want to complicate things by dipping into that so...

When you get your first aircooled VW, everyone tells you to buy John Muir's book A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. Is there a book like this for brewing? I looked at www.howtobrew.com and see John Palmer's first edition book that's free to view on line, but it also...
