    New to kegging

    So I've been reading a lot about kegging and I would appreciate any additional insight anybody can give me. I have a fridge in the garage that I am planning on using, full size, but has the freezer on the top. I think I've decided ball lock kegs are going to be my best bet and I located...

    Traveling with beer

    I'm going to be in co springs though, and flying straight in as well. I think I'm' going to shoot for bubble wrap around the bottles in my check-in. Otherwise I could just ship straight to my grandparents house.

    Hello from Southern California

    I'm a new brewer from socal as well. My first batch is just about ready to bottle. I'm closest to the silverado canyon fire. At its closest point it was 8 miles from my place.

    Fermentation/Bottling Questions

    Thanks for all of the advice. I think I will leave it longer, next week on pay day I'll order more ingredients and a wort chiller and wait to bottle until they arrive, so that means it will have been in fermentation for close to 2.5-3 weeks at that point.

    Fermentation/Bottling Questions

    Thanks for the info! Question, is there an advantage to leaving it in fermentation longer? I checked the gravity again today and it is still at 1.015. If it is still the same tomorrow and Sunday should I just go ahead and bottle, or is their an advantage to waiting?

    Fermentation/Bottling Questions

    I just took a reading with the hydrometer. If I am doing this correctly the reading was about 1.015, but I didn't take an initial reading so I don't have anything to go off of. The temperature of the liquid is about 77 and the directions with the hydrometer say to add 2 at that temperature as...

    Fermentation/Bottling Questions

    I have a couple of questions... First my airlock has slowed way down. It only bubbles about every 30-50 seconds now. Is this still ok, or do I need to do something? It has been going since Sunday evening. It's an oatmeal stout. Second, how do I know when fermentation is complete? The...

    First time mistakes, how bad will it be?

    Thanks for all the help and advice! I know better for next time now, although I need to find a cheaper place to buy ingredients so if you have good place online or in socal let me know. Also I think it would help significantly to have a wart cooler for next time as well so that' something to...

    First time mistakes, how bad will it be?

    After doing much more reading (the directions I had at the time of brewing weren't very clear on some things) I realized I have done a couple of things wrong. First I left the lid on during part/most of the boil. How bad will this make it? Will it still be drinkable? Second, it took a couple...
