I thought it might take longer to get the email flavors to meld but figured 3 months at the earliest. I have 4 corny kegs and only 2 taps so aging in the keg won't be an issue even if it is 6 to 9 months. I won't touch the bottles until the keg is kicked and will likely have to hold on to...
Good afternoon all,
I have a Belgian Tripel in primary fermentation and has been for nearing a month. I plan on bottling a handful for Christmas Gifts but putting the rest in an open keg so I can put it on CO2 around Christmas time as well. My big question is where should I store the keg in...
Good Evening all! A friend of mine bestowed on me a couple pre-hopped cans of Coopers Malt in the variety of Mexican Cerveza along with their Wheat Beer. Here I am sitting on a couple empty kegs and I figured I would have some fun with some easy Brew kits. I made a jaunt down to the Local Home...
The hardest decision I am making at the moment is one that you all have mentioned. What form of Mash / Lauter apparatus to go with. I initially thought about going the picnic cooler with a false bottom route. I have since picked up a few books (I'm a reader) and have read that having the...

I was reading a back issue of Zymurgy recently and they had an article about a brewing club having a contest of sorts using smoked grain. This got my brain churnin' about doing a honey wheat extract with a home smoked specialty grain. I thought I would bring the topic here and see if anyone...
My Scottish Ale and California Trinity Red wine goes in bottles, my Vanilla Cream Ale (thanks cheese) is moving to Secondary, and I'll be starting a kolsch as well as a Zinfandel / Cabernet. Busy weeked for me :)
I was at my LHBS friday picking up ingredients for the Caramel Cream Ale along with another brewing vessel (I like to sneak a new one in every week or two so the wife doesn't think I've gone nuts all at once) and I was discussing with the group of gents there about the Scotish Ale I currently...
I've been to both places and have found The Brew Shop to be a more inviting place. I haven't priced either of them etc but Chuck (The proprietor of the Brew Shop) takes the time to answer questions along with just general chit chat no matter what's going on in the shop.
