We made a seltzer, basically took everclear and water and mixed to 6%. We have it chilled and carbonated and actually have a really nice carbonated water with 6% alcohol. Really nice mouthfeel but no flavor. A month ago when we made it we put some mango flavor in but can’t taste it. I...

A few years ago I made a 5 gallon batch of Ed Worts Apfelwein. I used 5 gallons of members mark Apple juice, 2 pounds of corn sugar, and Montrachet wine yeast. It was good, ended up with a high abv, dry and easy to drink. I’ve purchased some hard ciders recently and they have more of an...

We have a winery near us that does a lot of ciders, they have a passion pineapple that’s very good. They do a hibiscus ginger, right now they have a Carmel Apple and honey lavender. My understanding from the people that serve at the taproom is that all of the ciders are made from the their...

ive always brewed and kegged 5 gallon batches. I use the set it and forget it method to carbonate. Over the past year I’ve been buying some smaller kegs (1 gallon, 2.5 gallons). When using the set it and forget it method does volume matter or do I just same method as I’ve been using (a chart...

Over the last 10 years I’ve acquired a lot of kegging equipment. I have a kegerator, portable kegerator, direct dispense equipment. Honestly I couldn’t tell you what size lines I have on everything. Sometimes it was just use what I had. It’s time to clean things up. It’s been a very long...

I’ve been brewing extract for well over 10 years, I’ve made close to 70 extract batches (5 gallons) in that time. I’d like to move to BIAB for several reasons. Cost savings, ability to brew smaller batches, more variety in what I can brew. For example I love a good dubbel on occasion but 5...

Does anyone know where I can find the part for this regulator that connects it to a threaded corny keg gas fitting? https://www.midwestsupplies.com/mini-co2-regulator

I’ve been kegging beer for years and I have a lot of kegs. 5 gallon kegs, 2 1/2 gallon kegs, gallon kegs. Adapters, regulators, all kinds of fun stuff. All I keg is beer. What else you kegging? Mixed drinks, soda, margaritas, anything else fun?

I’ve been brewing for 10 years. In that time I’ve probably made 50+ batches, all extract, all kegs, never bottled. Partial boil and 95% of the time kits from Northern Brewer. I’d like to brew smaller batches of beer as 5 gallons of many styles is too much for me. A 5 gallon batch of my...

I am going to be travelling to Scottsdale in a few weeks and looking for some breweries, brewpubs, cool places to eat. Last time I was there we went to the Cullinary Dropout and liked that but looking for something with more beer selection and good food.

I am going to be in Dallas May 17 to 21 for work and staying at the Hotel Indigo downtown. Any cool places within walking distance to go for some beers? Maybe a brewpub or something similar? Not really looking for a club just a restaurant\bar type place. We could cab it or Uber also but...

Business trip to San Fran next week, going to stay at the Holiday Inn at Fisherman's Wharf. Any good brewpubs within walking distance?

I have a Guinness branded stout faucet for which I would like to use a different tap handle. All of my other faucets have the simple black handle and I like the clean look that gives. My nitro tap has the big Guinness handle which I would like to eliminate. I know that I have seen an adapter...

I have more hobbies than I care to admit, two of my favorite are brewing beer and my reef tank (saltwater aquarium). In the past few years one of the trends in the reef hobby has been aquarium controllers. Recently I purchased and received my first controller, an Apex Jr which cost about $140...

Despite the fact that I have brewed about 250 gallons of beer and probably drank 10 times that in my lifetime I really don't understand beer as much as I would like to. I know that my favorite style of beer is an IPA and I could tell you I enjoy the IPA at one local brewery more than the other...

I just got done kegging my 54th batch of beer, all have been kits...the majority from NB but recently I have been trying other places. For me kits have always been easy, you get what you need and when you are done you have nothing left over. I have been considering trying some recipes I have...

I have 5 kegs in my kegerator, 1 on a stout faucet pushed with beer gas. I keep my kegerator at about 40 degrees. It seems to me that my stouts are never as cool as my other beers. I am wondering if the push through the restrictor plate cause a bit of friction and therefore warms the beer or...

I have had a nitro set up for some time, I like a nitro beer on occasion but it certainly is not an everyday thing for me therefore I had an irish stout on my nitro tap for a long time. I won't admit to how long but it poured and tasted great from the time I tapped until I poured. I recently...

After several years I have finally put together a fermentation chamber and based on many posts I have read here I think I will begin to do longer primary fermentation and no secondary. I may still secondary on occasion but will try and avoid it. A few questions: 1. When is temperature...

Finally got around to putting together a chest freezer to ferment in. Got my first beer going on Friday and stuck my head in there today to get a look at the thermometer on the bucket to see what it read. I got what I think was a really big whiff of CO2....it took my breath away. Is this...
