Is there a part I can buy for this? I have a taprite regulator, (1) tank pressure guage and (2) liquid pressure gauges. Anyways I want to hang the requlator up behind the fridge. Is there a nipple to thread into the co2 tank with a hose clamped to it that is also clamped to a thread on the...

does anyone have reccomondations on places to get co2 tanks for a reasonable price? Do the tanks need to be aluminum? Thanks, Ben

sorry. I use all caps at my job. I can't help it. It is 5 here and I am EXCITED. BEN

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUES ON HOW TO GET MY HEAD TO LAST LONGER ON A VIENNA LAGER. SOMETHING I CAN DO DIFFERENT IN THE MASH OR BOIL, OR BOTTLE CONDITIONING. IT IS CARBED UP LIKE CRAZY, BUT THE HEAD DOESN'T HANG AROUND LONG. bEN

I know, but there is also pre pottled black and tans. I'm not sure how it will turn out yet. Just seeing if anyone has tried it that way. I know Yuengling makes a black and tan you can buy.

I am going to attempt a black and tan. I am not completely sure how to do it in bottles, but i'm going to give it a whirl. I have a premium lager in the fermenter, and in a few weeks I am going to brew a stout. THis is my plan when they are ready to bottle I am going to put 2 gallons of the...

I am going to grow some corn to make a Yuengling style lager. I was wandering what all I have to do to prepare my corn after harvest. As far as drying, grinding, or anything else I need to do to make raw corn ready to brew. Thanks Ben

Sweet, I think I'm going to go ahead with it. I think I got it dicked now. Just needed a little more research time to know what I was getting. Thanks, Ben

This may be a dumb quesion, but I've only had my lunch break to research, and i've found a deal on somethings, but does a sankey tap fit on a corney keg without much trouble or is it just two totally different fittings? I've been thinking about getting into kegging Thanks, Ben

I am bottling my first lager soon. I've lagered at 55F for 1 month then at 35F for one month. When I go to bottle condition do I need to do that at room temp or keep it cold. Will the yeast still work enough at that cold temp to ferment for carbonation? Thanks, Ben

going to start growing barley for beer. anyone know if the spring or winter variety is better for brewing? Thanks,

If you are going to lager for 60 days or so will there still be enough yeast left to bottle condition? May be a silly question, but I'd hate to wait that long then not be able to carbonate?

Is there a preffered corn to grow for beer making? Just curious I was thinking about growing extra next year, and also growing barley and malting it just for fun. I have about 3 acres to fool around with for beer. Thanks, Ben

I tried this recipe out. I had my first bottle last night. It was delicious. Can't wait to get home from work and have a few more. Ben
