I'm moving in the next few days and haven't been able to finish my kegs off. There are two partial kegs and I was just wondering if they'd be ok in a three hour move. Is there something I shoud consider when moving a filled keg so far? Or is this bound for failure? Thanks!

I'm interested in a kettle if there are any left.

Sorry, that's a pound of Crystal 80 and a half pound of Chocolate malt. Still a lot of Chocolate, but not nearly as much as a lb.

Well, I'm glad to hear that it isn't an easy answer at least. The beer is a brown ale which takes notes from Abita Turbodog. So, some pale extract and a pound of chocolate malt finished off with Wyeast Irish Ale. Mabel that makes the question easier to answer, maybe not. Thanks for your...

My recent extract brew began at 1.060 and ended at 1.022; I tasted it and it tasted exactly as expected! I went ahead and kegged it but I guess I've just never known exactly why I'm supposed to expect 75%ish attenuation. So, why is 75% attenuation expected and/or required? Is it just for the...

Thanks for all your responses! The public transportation thing limited us, but we drove by NorthernBrewer's retail store in the morning; took the lightrail to downtown and hit up townhall brewery (awesome place!); and hit Rock Bottom before coming back (I know its not local but they tend to...

Planning on taking the public transo to multiple places, I'll put Bulldog's on the list! Any other places y'all can think of?

Minneapolis to be specific (the wife is shopping at Mall of America) and I'm looking for some good breweries/brew pubs to visit. Any thoughts?! Thanks in advance!!

It should age just fine in the basement. To my knowledge the yeast should have pretty much finished their work and if anything are cleaning up a bit. the cooler temperature would just cause this to slow down. A lot of styles I've looked at have suggested a bottle conditioning at a lower...

Nilo, I have to agree that those portions are too much for cloning the current BM and when looking bcak through the thread, I used the revised recipe of Wayne's which called for 1.25oz coriander and .3 oz of orange peel. In that post, Wayne asked if those sounded correct and never recieved a...

Nilo, I started the fermentation with the usual 5.25gal. I used 1.25 oz of ground coriander and .4oz of valencia orange peel (I'll be honest, I did not have a scale and my orange peel measurement was based off the ratio to the whole container but it's definitly "close enough"). Both...

In the first photo, the wieght of three times the coriander filled the dish on the left and the dish on the left contained the orange peel. Volume-wise this was a huge difference. The second photo you can see the color discrepancy, but again, I blame that on the extract it's self.

Ok, I'm a bit late getting back to the forum, but my extract try is in. It's good beer, but far from the current Blue Moon. The color is definitely off, but I blame that on the pale extract/wheat malt I used. It is hazy like Blue Moon and the mouthfeel is thick both of which I attribute to...

So I got a wild hair and decided to check the dimensions on my wife's little beverage refridgerator. To my luck everything would fit for a two keg picnic tap setup and the wife gave the ok! So, I ordered everything, checked the fit but in doing so forgot to put on the regulator when checking...

I don't know about a promo code, but I called and they were more than willing to work with me on things. Wonderful service, but I was told they may ne raising prices soon. Chances are after a price increase they would still beat my LHBS.
