I went to fill up my co2 tank for the first time at the place I bought it. The guy who was filling it up said that he had never done it before, but that it shouldn't be too hard. He filled it up, I paid and left. About 10 minutes away from home, BOOOM!! All the co2 came pouring into the car. It...

So, before I built my keezer, I noticed some condensation where the cooling lines run. After installation, it's still there, but I am now unable to reach it because the collar is attached to the base, not the lid. I know this seems stupid, but I can't figure out a good way to remove the moisture...

OK, I bought the ingredients for my first BIAB and I am having trouble with the calculations. I should have done all this first. I didn't even think about the pot size before buying the bag and ingredients (dumb, i know). I'm planning on brewing BM's Centennial Blonde, so I have 8.75 lbs of...

I'm working on filling up my keezer for the first time, and swmbo has requested a sweet cider. She is a big fan of Woodchuck. Does anyone have a good recipe that is close to that? What is the process of kegging a cider? Thanks for any help!! :mug:

I bought some brewing and kegging supplies from a guy on craigslist. All of these parts were in the bottom of the box and I've never seen any of this before. Do you guys know what this stuff might be? Should I keep it or toss it? Thanks!!

I am trying to set up my chest freezer while waiting on the components to arrive to convert it to a keezer. I read the thread on here about adjusting the thermostat on the freezer to get it above freezing, and did so on my freezer. The temperature is reading right around 35-36 degrees, but I am...

I searched a little bit for this, but I couldn't really find it. My wife like to drink a lot of cider, so I think I'm going to try to make some for her. Possibly some apfelwein as well. I am building my keezer right now, and she keeps asking if she can have a keg of cider on tap sometimes...

I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. A couple of months ago I bought some kegging equipment from a guy on craigslist. I am just now getting around to putting my keezer together, and got the new co2 tank today. I hooked up my regulator, ran a hose to one of my kegs, and turned the co2 on. When I...

I'm trying to piece together a keezer, and the last thing I need is a decent temp controller. It doesn't have to be great or anything, it just has to work. Looking to spend under $40. Does anyone have an extra? Thanks for the help!!

I'm trying to piece together a keezer. As of now, all I have is four pin lock kegs and a co2 regulator. I have $400 from Christmas, and am going to use all of it for this build. I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up my freezer tomorrow. It is $50, so that leaves me with $350. Is this enough for a...

I found a place locally that will sell me a full 5 pound co2 tank for $45. And they do refills for $5. Is that a good deal??

The only listing on craigslist I could find was for a co2/argon tank. Trying to find one for my new kegging set up. He said its for welding. Is it a co2/argon mixture or either co2 or agron? If I bought it would Airgas exchange it for a 5 pound co2 tank? Here's the listing...

Hey guys. I'm looking to get into kegging my beer, and came across this deal on craigslist. Can you take a look at the ad and see if there is anything wrong with the set up? The guy said that he installed valves at the bottom of two of the kegs. I've never seen that done before, is it ok? There...

I made a recipe for an IPA a few weeks ago. Its only my second brew, but I thought I would branch out. It was in primary (learned how valuable a blowoff tube is) for a month, went to the bottles for 2 weeks, and in the fridge for 2 days. I just opened the first one. HOLY CRAP! I'm blown away...

I am planing on dry hopping my IPA with an ounce of Centennial. It has been in the primary for 19 days. I checked the gravity on 3/31, and it was at 1.018. I just checked it again, and it is at 1.014. What do you think? Is it done fermenting? Am I safe to add hops? Another question. When...

I went in to look at my fermentation bucket this morning, and the airlock was full of foam and bubbling at the top. When I removed the airlock foam and pieces of hops exploded into the air. I quickly searched for a bucket blowoff tube and tried to fashion one. Here's some pictures. I just want...

Brewed my first recipe today. It's an American IPA that I formulated with the help of a few members here. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. You guys are awesome, and all I can think about now is brewing. Here's the recipe: malt & fermentables % LB OZ Malt or Fermentable ppg °L...

I recently brewed my first batch of homebrew. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. I have been working on an IPA recipe with the help of a few members here, and I was just about to order all of the ingredients from Austin Homebrew. Here's where my dilemma comes in. I saw their...

Here's my first IPA recipe. How does it look? I'm wanting to buy from Northern Brewer, but it looks like they are out of Amarillo hop pellets. What else could I use? Thanks for any help! malt & fermentables % LB OZ Malt or Fermentable ppg °L 82% 9 0 Northern Brewer Gold LME...
