So after one of my last brews was kicked (Caramel Vanilla Cream Ale), I left some Star San in there for about a week (lid on). I emptied it out and let it dry...or so I thought...must've been liquid in the dip tube. Long story short..I have mold in the bottom of my keg and wanted to know if...

Does anyone have any experience with the linked turkey fryer? Thinking that for $60 it might be a good starter for my all-grain setup (piecing together now). http://www.cabelas.com/product/1264920.uts?rid=10&WT.tsrc=AFF&WT.mc_id=k134025 Thanks, all!

Wine kit in secondary for two weeks. Thoughts?

I was fermenting a belgian ale recently, and after a few weeks of the beer sitting in the secondary, i noticed that the vodka that i placed in the air lock had evaporated down to a level below where the air slots are in the dome piece. I'm assuming that my brew is DOA, but wanted your takes...

So, I've been brewing for about 8 months now, with 10 batches (extract & extract w/specialty grains) under my belt. I know this is a very novice status, but I'm enjoying it so far. The question is....when did you guys make the jump to all-grain, and are there any setbacks to it? I enjoy...

So I bought two kits from northern brewer and purchased a Brewvint kit for both....well I brewed one kit without adding the alcohol booster. Any chance I can add both to the heffeweisen kit without messing with the flavor?

Has anyone brewed a Yards ESA before? The brew is local to Philly, so if you haven't heard of it, I completely understand. Their website says this (basically nothing): Crafted from the finest ingredients and originally intended for the cask-ale connoisseur, Extra Special Ale is a robust and...

I brewed a killians clone on monday and the kit came with a american lager yeast strain. I used it and waited a couple of days until I didn't see any activity. the wife and I went over to the brew shop to pick up a wine kit for her to make. I talk to the guy behind the counter and told him that...

I brewed a wheat beer which sat in the primary for a few weeks, secondary for a month, and then put in a keg. This was my first time kegging, so I don't know if I screwed up, but i put the C02 on it 19 days ago at 13 PSI at 36 degrees, I sampled a few times over the past week (a little...

I kegged a beer the other night for the first time, and know I screwed up along the way. Here is a list of my boneheaded mistakes: 1.) plugged c02 into the "out" line to start....DUH!:drunk: Wondered why i didn't get any sanitizer out of the keg. 2.) after kegging the beer, "checked" for...

I am going to keg a beer tonight for the very first time. should I use priming sugar or will the c02 act as a carbonator? Again, I'm a noob to kegging, so I wasn't sure if I needed the priming sugar. Thanks all

What is the difference between a perlick 525 faucet and 575 creamer faucet? I'm trying to assemble parts for my upcoming kegerator project and dont know ther difference here. Thanks, all!!!

SWMBO broke down and is letting me purchase a refrigerator for the man-cave to convert into a kegerator. One rule....CAN'T put a collar on a keezer. I'm thinking that I'm going to go with a compact refrigerator, but I'm having problems deciding. I've searched high and low in the Show us...

Hi All, The title is a little deceiving, as I'm a "veteran" of 4 months brewing. Great wife, bought me my brew kit & first extract kit as a 1 year anniversary present...now she wants to buy me a kegerator. I sure love that woman! Hoping to start kegging my beer, but looking for the right...

Perhaps this has been answered before, but i didn't find anything on the search function relative to Beer Meister, so here it goes: Does anyone know what kind of equipment would be needed to have a regular beer meister be compatible with a Corny keg? I want to get a ball lock keg for my...
