    Where to get bottles?

    Yeah, the thought that you can not use a screw top is a total myth. The biggest thing to look for is the "lip" for the capper to grab on to. If you want an example, look at a Miller Lite bottle and look at a Budweiser bottle. I've had problems with Miller Lite because there isn't much for the...

    my new jockey box!

    Looks great! Question: Do you put the ice inside the wood/behind the taps? How does the wood tolerate the ice and keep the ice cold? Just curious, I don't have much experience with jockey boxes.

    Will This Work for a Mash Tun?

    I just picked up this cooler, which I wish to convert. I just wanted to run it by everyone here to make sure there aren't any major problems with it before I start to take it apart. Thanks for taking a look. Chris

    Anyone looking to up their production?

    http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bfs/298121484.html I like how the description says it would be good for a "small batch"...

    new guy, looking for an option between bottling and metal kegging...

    two liter soda bottles may work for you. I assume you would have to store them away from the light and drink the entire contents when you open one. They would be very cheap. In fact, some soda comes in 3 liter plastic bottles these days. You could use those if you wanted bigger.

    Dumb noob question

    I usually get the water up to temp and then steep my grains. I've had good results with this method.

    Help, I'm overflowing!

    I think it may be time for a blowoff tube. I've never used one before but I think you basically replace your airlock with a sanitized tube that runs into a sanitized glass/vessel of water. Once your fermentation slows, you can replace the airlock. If my directions are not clear, I'm sure a...

    Singing the praises of Oxy-Clean

    Yeah, I find it in the laundry section of Target. It works VERY well, but I believe that it would be detrimental to your brew. I usually soak for a few hours, pull the labels off (those that haven't already fallen off), wipe the remaining glue off, and rinse in a second bucket of water to make...

    Problem - Not Sure What to Do (Brew in Progress)

    So I ended up letting the wort cool and then I just poured it into the fermentor until I got to the end. Then I lined a small strainer I have (sanitized of course) with a grain bag and poured the chunky wort through it and squeezed it with my spoon. It worked really well. Thanks for all...
