I would like to bring one of my 2.5g kegs to friends house, (purchased from AIH). My normal serving pressure is 8 psi with about 3 feet of gas/beer lines per side. My question is how much psi should I fill the keg at 40 degrees so that I don't have to bring my CO2 tank. Meaning to pour the...

That was funny....mines a little more stable. On the steps and using the water from the pool. He is using outside water. That nooodle. im still laughing

13 min from boil to 78 cause pool was at 78 http://imgur.com/VUaisJZ

The process of steeping and mashing in a bag are very similar. Again referring to the procedures involved.

I would argue cost. 2.5 gal all grain is just not worth extra step(s), extra time and money. BIAB is just as step up from steeping which alot of extract brewers do. A 5 gal extract divided by two is hard to beat in cost. Im only familiar with most of online pricing as there are no local...

I use extract only. 2.5 gal batches. I recently etched my kettle and now add filtered tap water in the last ten mins of boil. I get it close will boil off but i do top off to 2.5 in kettle . I was concerned with contamination of cold tap water in fermenter. As I do not use sealed gallon...

Thanks for your reply. Really appreciate your time as cost/benefit is making me nuts:tank: The grolsh flip top bottles. -tired of bottling. -notoriously leaky even after the new seals, plus the clip and glass dont have longevity when you get one not leaking -dont know you got a...

So the 1 gallon kegs from northern/midwest?

Thanks so much Where do you buy refill co2 cartridges

Sorry i was going to still natural carb, then use the little co2 for pouring . Is this correct. One gallon kegs? Can you show me a link. Thanks

So after a few batches since Dec, im tired of bottling. I am able to run (2) 2.5 batches as well as a 1 gallon batch. Limit of my ferment chamber. I prolly will never make 5 gal batch cause I cant drink/give away that much beer. (Probablly:cross:) I am looking for a system in between...

I use these for smaller batches, about 8 and 5 bucks for small one at wally world. The big one can hold 2.5 gal with small amount of head space. http://www.containerstore.com/catalogimages/216451/10014041gSlimlineFridgeJug_600.jpg

Nice, but not ready for all grain. Just started brewing outside with a propane burner from things around the house. And got a separate fermenting chamber to keep a constant temp. Oh and also started washing yeast. I will probably convert this to extract somehow. Just have to find all the...

For the recipe, I think I under pitched, but I am learning dry yeast is hearty if stored correctly. Thanks for you anecdotal story.
