Hey guys, let me preface with a huge thank you for the wealth of information that is availlable here and the huge help everyone has been since I started brewing. With that said I'm starting to build my own single tier system. I'd like to describe the basics now and of course open the floor...

Brewing an Ommegang Abby ale from extract. Will post recipe and such soon!

Looking to buy 2 kegs (willing to pay up to $60 each) or keggles (willing to pay more depending on what sort of work is done to them). Currently stationed in Norfolk, VA. Tend to travel around the state a lot as I have family on the western side as well as in Richmond. Really looking forward...

Hey guys, hope everyones weekend was awesome! :rockin: So I've downed my first 2 cornies of homebrew and I have 3 in the fridge now. I'm sure some of you remember my first posts a short 2 months ago. Needless to say I'm hooked. The sweet part is that my wife is loving the hobby as well. I...

Ok so I got a cheap upright fridge (freezer on the top style) off CL. I have 4 cornys and my CO2 in the fridge portion, what do people do with the top portion? I could store some hops and such in there. Any other ideas?

My first brew. A holiday ale with some spices and such. Look alright?

Hey guys, quick question. I see all the options out there for beer line sanitization. When I legged my last batch (5 gal corny keg) I cleaned and sanitized the gas and the beer lines before racking to the keg). Head space was purged with CO2 and then set. I only have a plastic fitting to...

Hey folks, I'm sure this is either already covered (although I couldn't find it after lurking for a few days) or doesn't matter (seems like a lot of stuff can just be winged!). I'm pretty new to homebrewing (only 2 batches) and I've been looking around for my next batch and recipe and noticed...

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself here. I'm a 30 year old naval submarine officer stationed in Norfolk, VA. Shore duty is here and I've always been told to pick up a hobby... well here it is. I brewed a brewer's best kit last Friday with my wife and we had a blast. It's fermenting now and...
