how long have they been conditioning? I would say that if the have already carbonated you are going to have a really hard time maintaining the carbonation and quality of the beer. but you never know if you have two bottles that you are willing to sacrifice then give it a try.

The holes a two inches and they are spaced 1 inch apart. The frame was made from some rough cut pine I planed to 3/4 inch and ripped at 3/4. That way frame and the supports are smaller than the space between the hole so the bottles never touch the wood.

along with the flask you need a stir stick and some DME and you should be golden.

I did miss aline some parts that i will have to correct (maybe on another day with less beer in my belly) but it should hold 60 bottles. I also have to glue it down and router the edge.

Hey guys so I got this bright idea for bottles.I have no real question, but I guess I'm just proud of the idea. It took 2 1/2 hours and twelve beers but I think its great.

so what you are saying is goat fort it!!!

my guess is that you are using the lactose for body and head retention. I would suggest carafoam I would also use roasted barley maybe 4 oz because of the roasted notes and red color it will bring to the beer maybe carmel 20 not 60 to keep it from being to dark and maybe fuggles not cascades...

I have an apiary (I'm a beekeeper) and if there is one thing that I know it is honey... and beer. honey is not very soluble in liquid unless it is warm and priming is done at room temp (for ales) and it is not easy to incorporate the honey in the beer unless the honey is warm. If not you will...

OK I have a few recipes that i think need a little something I also have a half dozen or so gallon jars and some air locks. does anyone see a problem in designing a one gallon brew system. so that I can make a bunch of small batches to try many different recipes?

sure you could set up camp. but I think that they are planning on a big day long ride, and they want to be able to drink it on the go. The problem would be to set it up so that they can stop and go and still have a good poor. I understand that its not needed because you could just bottle the...

Hey all A friend asked me if he would be able to take a keg of my beer on a wheeler ride and my first thought was no way, but now I thinking... well maybe? With the right regulator set up, enough hose for resistance, and if they don't mind a little sediment it maybe possible. I could be...

I would agree bottle away! If you didn't make a starter that maybe the cause of the delayed start to the fermentation and the hight FG.

Depending on the tools you have. a 1/2 barrel can turn into a nice cooker for up to 10 gal batches.

Depending on how well the lids seal you could use them to store your grain once you make the leap to all grains.

Goal !!!!!!
