I actually bottled an apricot wheat using the same extract in my secondary. Will check out the taste of it this weekend and let you know how my turned out.

oh Awesome Thanks!

Ok, So after 3 weeks of bottle conditioning and then 48 hours in the fridge; I think the beer tasted quite good. Of course I am probably biased so I had the misses family try it out this weekend at easter. And overall everyone said it was good. By no means am I an expert and I am having a beer...

What about the potential in the future to use a hop back. It seems like some of the good recipe clones out there require a Hop back. And as far as I can tell, you have to use a CFC for a hop back to work? Is this correct?

Actually the aluminum foil with a rubber band wrapped around did make the sanke keg pretty airtight. I guess you would need to check the foil thoroughly before hand. I am in the process of purchasing a drilled stopper for the sanke keg fermenter and an airlock. I am going to get a #11 drilled...

Ok, so last night I quickly bottle the beer. I think its ok. Not sure how to tell if its contaminated or not. Looks good, so far. So now I am going to bottle condition for 3 weeks and will let everyone know how it went. Quick question though, how would I know if my beer was contaminated...

Yep ok. Right away I will bottle tonight. Thanks for all the help.

Ok, so I got an old Keg shell from a friend and I want to get the stem removed. It has a U - system valve and I have read all of the posts on all different types of kegs but there appears not to be one on how to remove this type. If anyone has done this before can you please help me out and if...

Hey off topic a little bit, but a friend of mine works at a distributor and every so often they get kegs empty kegs returned that they dont have an account with, so they are often just disgarded. However, I wanted to use one as a fermenter. Long story short, the sankey keg he gave me is a...

How did you get it?
