Ok so I finally kegged the batch and drank a 22 oz (or so) glass. And i am a little happy. It was very tasty. It doesnt really taste like tea but tasty. I would say it is a great drink for the wife or girl friend or both. A nice summer drink. I cant wait to drink more. I think for 15...

Let me know how yours turns out

Here is what I did. CVS had Azinzona Ice Tea on sale So I bought 5 gal. of Arnold Palmer. Boiled 1 gal of tea with 1 lb of corn sugar and 1 lb of lite brown sugar. Then into the fermentor with the rest of the tea and a pack of red star champange yeast. Let it sit for 3 weeks or so. It...

I was talking about the 5L 1.3 gal cans. Like the Party Star Deluxe Tap System. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=4897 and dispensing them through the gravity spout or the mini co2 cartridge. I think they might be nicer then bringing a growler or something...

I know there are a million post here about mini Kegs and how it would be better to just go with the corny kegs in the long run, and about the ways people need to adjust the priming sugar. My question is a little diffent. I have a kegging setup. so want I want to do is use theses for going out...

If you are looking for stainless fitting or nipples you have to go to a pipe supplier or something like McMaster-Carr/MLCS or something like that. The only advatange to adding a coupling in stead of a nipple would be replacement/repairs. I only think this way becuase i am a pipe fitter that...

I am definitly going to check out Urban Knaves of Grain They seem pretty good. I think i need to check them out on their jan. meeting.:ban: Hello everyone from naperville

ok here are the gravity's #1 og 1.051 on thurs. and 1.025 on monday #2 og 1.046 on thurs and 1.02 on monday I probably just need to relax, but it just seems weird to have fermentataion go in just a couple of days. I should just keep making more and more beer till i get the hang of this.:D

My favorite beer is cold. lol I like bocks, hefewiezen, german and belgium, ect. jtlawlor are you a member of any home brew clubs in the area. as none of my freinds are brewers just drinkers.

I haven't checked the gravity reading yet, but I moved the wort to the garage after the fermentation was only going for about 3 to 4 hours or so and it slowed down to about 2 bubbles a minute after about one day. However it is still show little activity. Aslo this is my first attemt at all grain...

This is my third brew. First two were pretty good. Also the is my first post and I am new to hbt. Anyway back to the question. I made a bock and got the fermentaion started at 75 deg as suggested on the label of WLP833 german bock. After I noticed that it started I carried the carboy out to...
