OK so Maybe 40 PSI is too much - that id maybe agree with - id prefer not the set it and forget it due to the fact that im trying to save time from bottling. Pick nick Taps are what we have at this point - No tower yet Yes we purged the keg (also purged O2 Out when adding CO2 which i forgot...

Ok Guys and girls, I'm sure this is a often asked question. And yes I have done my home work, I have even called KeggConnection.com where i purchased 2 Corni Kegs, 5 Gallon, Ball Lock Set up with a Tapright Regulator and 5 pound CO2 Tank. I have been using this thing for about 6 months now...

So this is not much of a “How To” article as much as a documentation of my single tier brew stand I am building. I have been doing extract batches for more years than I should have (5 years) and have slowly been working on going to all grain. I figure a brew stand would work great as a project...

These are pictures building my brewery in a old root cellar under the back deck.

Wish I had the talent to do it in stainless!! Maybe next one.

Thank you jacv. I think I will go bigger than the 1 inch that my lhbs said theirs is built with seemed small to me.

OK so i'm planning to go to all grain and want to build a Single Tier System... First thing I am wondering is what size metal should I use. At first I thought 1 1/4 Square tubing (I may try to run the LP inside a rail) but was told by some non brewer friends that that is too big and i'm gonna...

My 3 on Tap are a : Coffee House Porter , Victory Dance IPA, and a Bud Clone I made for those who don't like real beer :)

So I guess this is more of a Share than a Question, BYO Magazine had a cool article in the Jan / Feb Issue this year that touched upon Post Fermentation Adjustments. I thought this was interesting and had recently brewed a Extract Pale Ale I made ( can attach the recipe if anyone is...

So my kids brewed up a 5 gallon batch of extract root beer. We let it carbonate for 1 week and everything was great. Only there is yeast or sediment in the 2 liter bottles. Is there a way to prevent this for their next batch. They think its "ikky" that things are "swimming" in it lol. I have...

So here I am again this time with another possible problem. Im brewing a watermelon wine and have 2 five gallon batches going. My 2nd batch now REAKS of rotton eggs im using redstar (ill butcher the spelling since im on my cell phone) matriarch? Yeast which I heard is know to make this smell...

No the wine is going to go QUICK, My entire work crew wants some and i planed to keep a few bottles for my self but the wife is a wine-o and im sure it will be gone in a few weeks. Id love to wait but I was stupid and made 10 gallons of this stuff instead of one carboy, So now im short I only...

DrCad Why does the recipe say up to 5-6 weeks ? I kinda need the carboy lol, I know i am rushing this one - the 2nd batch im gona let sit longer. I wish i had a LHBS but we are in the middle of no where so im limited on buying another carboy .... Its either harvest the wine and brew a new 5...

OK I have yet another question , Sorry I'm sure y'all are getting tired of these dumb questions but here goes again: So 5 Weeks ago I brewed a batch of watermelon wine following the recipe here: http://www.eckraus.com/winerecipes/watermelonwine.pdf (A week later i brewed another batch...

So I started my first and Second Batch of Watermelon Wine a Few days ago 08/23/15 and 08/30/15 And have a Few questions. I Ordered all the stuff needed from Northern Brewer in a Vineyard Kit and began brewing this recipe: http://www.eckraus.com/winerecipes/watermelonwine.pdf (Hope the link...
