I'm in!!

Just transferred a nice IPA from the fermenter into a keg. I don't have room in my kegerater for it right now. How long can I store it in my 67 degree basement before it starts to go south on me? Will the hop bitterness dissipate over time? Thanks Sean

Sounds great!! I'm in!!

I have search YouTube and found some good videos but nothing that really would teach all the ins and outs of AI. I think I'll try the classroom books. They get good reviews.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll check them out!

I received Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium for Christmas and I've been trying to learn it on and off for a few months now. WOW! There is a lot to learn. Is there anyone out there that could point me to a good resource on learning Illustrator and/or Photoshop?! Either one of these programs I think would...

How about "Kabor Toss Brewery"? :mug:

Thanks for checking on that! So maybe his losses are in line. The odd one might come up short, but it's to be expected. Sean

I believe he transfers from the 3 gal fermenter into a bottling bucket. But the loss, if any, is very slight from the bottling bucket. Haven't tried bottling from the Mr. Beer. Isn't that a 2 gal container? Thanks again for all the ideas!! Sean

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses!! I think we'll start with adding more water. It could be that the brews just had more proteins. We look forward to the next brew to try the theory out.

So my Dad has gotten into brewing beer, but is only doing half bathes (2.5 gallons). He figures that's plenty of any one beer before you want to brew another style. The problem he's running into is he's losing a lot (3/4 gallon) to the trube. He ferments in a 3 gallon carboy, and fills it to...
