I have been a very lazy brewer and let my Apfelwein fall to the wayside. I brewed a 15 gallon batch last summer and kegged it in August of last year. It had been in the primary for about 4 months. I did not take any hydrometer readings when I kegged it. I put the first keg into the kegerator...
I have 2 20LB co2 tanks. They both need to be re-certified. I would like to trade for ball lock cornies. But, I'm open to other trades as well. Thanks!
It looks like a Hoff-Stevens with a converted sanke fitting. There is a step by step pictorial some where on this site on how to remove the sanke diptube.
^^Yeah I injected some of the marinade that came with the fryer in some drumsticks last night. Damn good! I happened to have an empty pony keg around and it seems to be a little wobbly on the burner. I may have to use the grill grate trick I've read on here before for a keggle. Or, I may...
I just picked up this turkey fryer at a yard sale for $15:rockin: The box looked pretty old but the stuff inside had never been used (not even put together). Anybody out there use one of these? Do you think it looks sturdy enough for a keggle?
Here is a link to one that is similar, but...
I recently washed the yeast from my Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale. It looked similar to yours (lots of loose pumpkin). I decided to go ahead and pitch it in my Founders Breakfast Stout Clone. It took about 30 hours before I saw any airlock action, but now it's bubbling right along. Of course...
I couldn't find Cocoa nibs anywhere. I bought semi-sweet bakers chocolate and unsweetened bakers chocolate. Does anyone see a problem with substituting the unsweetened bakers chocolate for the nibs?
I've had a batch in the primary for about 5 weeks. I still haven't added the spice tea. Should I rack it to a secondary and add the spice tea. Or, should I just add the spice tea to the bottling bucket with the priming sugar and bottle it? I am going to let it age until October anyway.
^^Yeah, I know. Plus, when I got it home and saw the faucet was a perlick, I was extremely happy. I will definitely be switching my kegerator and jockey box faucets.
I bought it. I got:
-- a dirty jockey box with a PERLICK faucet and miller lite tap handle
--a half-full 20lb aluminum co2 tank
--a 15.5 gallon sanke
--a perlick sanke coupler
--a crappy regulator
--some old craftsman pliers that were left inside the jockey box
All for $85.
