Im glad sombody reserected this thread. It makes jumping out of bed while contemplating brewdeas seem a little more sane.
Like all good addicts I have a problem, and no I dont drink too much...
Its that I cant brew enough!!!
Every few months...imean Month...weeks...
week...
OK OK OK... Everyday I think about new, better, different ways and things to brew.
But I've hit a bottle neck, and no not with my teeth.
I prefer to bottle my beer out of a keg, because more uninitiated people will try my craft brew with out the chum in the bottle, and in all honesty when I decide to have some folks over its nice to just hand over several bottles than it is to go through the "Bottle conditioned rite of passage" ritual or, have everyone hudle around my ugly kegerator fridge, and its hard to take the keg fishing
You know how it is... 1st you buy 1or2 more carboys to ferment in, then you buy a bigger kettle, 50# bags of grain, pounds & pounds of hops, then 20 gallon primary fermentors, and before you know it your drowning in unbottled, unkegged beer, UN-Drinkable beer.
Please...Somebody... Tell me "It's not just you[me]"
Ok........I feel better now that I got that off my chest.
:rockin:
Here's the problem this old tread solved for me.What I will do is put SEVERAL corny kegs in the basement corner at 30psi for a couple of weeks, instead of letting it sit in the tertiary glass carboys the same amount of time, them move them into the fridge the night before bottling day, so I can bottle 4 kegs at once instead of 2 kegs of the IPA & light ale eveyone likes to drink and get back to trying some new styles ive been wanting to brew.
