I'm pretty sure that there is some mead & cider down there that is likely a decade old.

I looked under the house in the crawlspace (where I store kegs, it's an encapsulated crawlspace) and found a three gallon keg of Barleywine, it has to be about twelve years old. put it on tap and it turned out to be mighty tasty. I've had some health problems this year and haven't been able to...

Answer questions, if asked. He knows that you brew. Let him learn.

Since you brewed a Belgian Dark Strong, if I were to blend it, I'd brew another of the same recipe to blend with it, instead of a Belgian Blonde, but that's just me.

This also puts a layer of plastic on the bottom, to prevent cracking or breaking the carboy

My ciders go from primary to the keg.

When I had a Corona mill, I mounted it in a bucket to contain all the grain and dust. The mill was mounted to a piece of wood that went across, the bottom was cut out of the top bucket, it "stacked' into another bucket that collected all the grain, I had a hole in the top of the bucket that...

Meat, it's great to cook larger amounts that what you need for the evening and seal them hot, and put them into the freezer, still tastes fresh when you reheat them. and hops like Max said.

^^ This at usually 1 liter per minute, sometimes more. ^^

I did indeed use the 1ml in a three gallon keg that still had a bit of yeast in it from a Saison, along with ~1/4 cup of demera sugar. I let it sit at room temperature for a week or so. The first pour had a bit of yeast spooge, that is not uncommon for kegs. I had hit the keg with 30psi of CO2...

I did indeed make a three gallon batch, as I had an empty three gallon keg. It has "tamed down" a good bit, or either I'm getting used to it, but still it's nice and refreshing.

It's pretty good, for me.

I finally made some and wanted to update this thread. I had made comments in another thread, but since I started this one, I just want to complete it. I made some hop water in a three gallon keg, have yet to taste it, plan to in the next few days. I had done a bit of research, and thoughts were...
