I cracked both picnic taps I had on my kegs trying this. Just picked up a new one, is there a way you guys are getting the racking cane in without cracking the plastic? I dont want to break another one trying.

So now having been kegged a couple weeks give or take, I bottled a few and brought them on a fishing trip with me. Upon finishing the first bottle, I immediately regret not bringing another batch of bottles up, for the 2 I had went waaaayyyyy too quickly. Already ordered the kit again, but this...

So I just kegged this on sunday, hooked up to the CO2 to start carbing, and took a sample today just to see where its at. HOLY OAK. I think a week on oak for the bourbon, and then a week on oak for the beer was way too long. I'm sure it'll mellow, but I think for next time I may just let the...

Thanks for the quick reply r2eng. I brewed the NB bourbon barrel porter, and I wanted to keg and force carbonate, and then bottle about half for aging. I'll just keep in mind ensuring I cap on foam.

Has anyone used this to age a beer, say between 6-12 months? As long as your process was correct I would expect you would retain all the CO2 that was initially in the bottle and it would be able to sit at cellar temp (mid 50's) for that long and not go flat?

Brewed this on 3/29. O.G. was right on at 1.065 and just took a hydro reading today and its at 1.020. I had planned on letting the oak chips sit in MM for between 24-48 hours as per the directions, then add it all to secondary. After reading through this whole thread now, I think I will let it...

I used safale us-05 ale yeast, OG was right on at 1.043. Lesson learned, but I just wanted to try out making the starter before I brewed my next beer, which calls for secondary and starter. I appreciate the replies.

Annnd I used dry yeast. Brewing NB American wheat, (extract) and while it doesn't call for a starter, I figured I'd try it out since its a pretty simple kit to brew. I was looking up an answer for another question about starters, and lo and behold I find everyone stating to NOT use dry yeast for...

I just ordered the extract kit, and just had a couple questions for those that have brewed this. I see a lot of guys say that they added more bourbon than called for in the recipe. Does anyone have a reccommendation for an amount? I plan on agin this beer for at least a year, to crack open for...

+5 Blonde ale +5 Dead ringer IPA = 46862

I dropped $15 on a bottle in Manhattan, since it was the only place I found that had it. Nice score.

I just made one, though I made it using a rectangular cooler instead of a round one. 53 qt (little over 13 gal) cooler at target cost me $22, and then about $30 in parts I pieced together from home depot. Wish I had seen eastoak's link before hand, would have made life a bit easier.

Well, 1st batch is done and bottled. It was a blonde ale extract kit with specialty grains. All went well, it sat in primary for 3 weeks, smelled great and everything seemed to be good. Then a friend who has been brewing (who got me interested) suggested I siphon to a secondary (he had suggested...

Also, this was the kit I used, in case anyone has made it before. http://www.homebrewers.com/product/ALP1010/Blonde-Ale-Beer-Kit.html

So today I brewed my first beer from the ingredient kit that came with my starter setup. I enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to try it and to try another batch. A couple of things I read, and then had to relearn because I usually have to learn the hard way. One of which is making sure you...

Thanks guys, I picked up a kettle today and plan on brewing my first batch this weekend. Hopefully all goes well.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Nassau, down by Jones Beach. I hope she realizes what shes gotten herself into, as I am already planning which kits to get next. Any reccomendations for supply stores on LI or do most people order from online?
