Wanted to post a followup. Kegged the damn thing today, and after force carbonation and chilling it's starting to taste like beer. It's funny, if the final gravity changed, I couldn't detect it - still seems stuck around 1.025 - but the cloying sweetness of the scotch has been replaced by dry...

I just felt like a lot of the invert sugar was remaining and needed to be gone for me to be happy. Figured the abbey yeast would be good for that. I know, and my mistake was listening to the physical person I talked to and not the myriad people online who counseled me to primary for a month...

Ok, so I'm a new home brewer. Not new to brewing in general, and did a bunch of large batches at a brew-your-own beer place back in Ohio, but certainly new to controlling every aspect of the brew. To cut to the chase: I brewed morebeer.com's KIT201, which is an extract Scotch. I used their...

Next up: a Cascade Belgian style Golden. Cascade hops, light malt, and candi sugar. I feel that it's appropriate.

How interesting... I got a complete brewing/kegging system from MY wife for my 30th birthday. I guess as a midlife crisis activity, home brewing is relatively benign.

Where was that? I just wanted to follow up and say Kent Oxygen was a great experience - dropped my tank off in the AM and had a voicemail a couple of hours later saying it was ready to be picked up. Something like $18 for a 5 lb fill, pricey I know, but it's a small local business, and it was...

Just as a follow-up footnote: I'm faced with the same dilemma, but in Renton, WA. My LHBS will exchange cylinders, and so will every welding shop around here, for around $12-$16. None that I have found will fill on premises. For the record, the cheapest was Central Welding at $12.14 for a 5...
