yea well i'm not a big fan of the corny kegs cause mine don't seem to hold the pressure. That is why I don't really want to buy one. I'm trying to save some money and buy kegs with sankey taps instead. I was hoping to give a $40 deposit and give them $5 for letting me borrow one for a short...

So I need to borrow a 5 gallon keg to keg one of my brews for July. I promise I will return the keg and i would be more than willing to place a deposit for the keg. I am in the Denver metro area and wondering if anyone can help me out. Please email me at [email protected] or give me a call a...

So it seems that most people are leasing toward wheat, ipa, and ale. Just finished the first of four beers this weekend. It's a pilsner with a hint of citrus. Hope it'll turn out alright, first time I tried multi-rest steeping. But we're gonna make a red in a few weeks. Thanks for the...

agreed but my brother is being a little insistant on having some dark, i'm kind of debting on making an IPA for a strong hoppy beer for him instead

So I'm looking to brew three to four beers for our summer party. I'm looking for some suggetions, I was thinking a wheat, a rasberry ale, a amber or red, and maybe a stout. Any suggestions on receipies or changes to my list? Thanks

Yup that's pretty much how I was planning on doing, probably start this weekend I am a little concerned about the grad of the mesh, it seems very fine (definitely keeps the pellets out) but I"m wondering if it might be too fine. Guess we'll see.

haha yea that's what happened to my first wheat, it didn't turn out well so we dry hopped it and now it taste like peaches so we thought we'd try making another wheat with a peach flavor

Well I just ordered everything so I'll keep you guys posted on how my home made hop stopper is gonna work.

WOW!! may cause mcmaster.com didn't come up on a google search, haha thanks for the help.

but the wild yeast shouldn't alter the flavor too much right?

i'm getting charged about $11 per sqft for the mesh. So as long as I can drop my own cost below 50 I would be willing to order the 10 sqft. So that's that, keep me informed, I'm hopping to make the order in the next few day. Thanks

Well the people I've asked make wine, and they said by adding in fruits or fruit extracts it would make the beer sour because it's a different type of sugar. But logically to me it seems that it would just be broken down like any other sugar and made into beer. Thanks for the input

I'm looking at trying another wheat beer and planning to add in fruit flavors. I understand the orange in most beers are made of orange rinds and a few other citrius ingredients. However, I was thinking about using peach, and I can't use rinds or anything else but juice. My question is...

pretty much, in addition I don't really need 10 sqft of mesh

So I am making my own hop stopper and planning on purchasing some mesh (150 thread 304 stainless steel and .0026 diameter) I don't need 10 sqft, probably only need 1 1/2 sqft for a single hop stopper. So i'm offering either the option to purchase some mesh with me or i'll make you a hop...
