Flying out for Tampa in the morning. Any good beer recommendations? Greg

Thanks guys!

Hey Guys...back in Oct or so - Northern Brewer had a sale, buy three kits for a special price...I brewed the brown ale right away...and just did the Smash American Ale last weekend... Reading the directions it said the refrigerate the yeast right away (Danstar American West Coast Ale...

I strain with a fine strainer...no problems for me. G

Thanks Keg Connection! Greg

It was a nut brown ale... I have a Bayou Classic (SP 10...I think)...works great. GT

Just watching the pot boil on Friday night!

OK...I know this a pretty dumb question...but I'm not sure of the answer. I have a one keg set up now....I KNOW I'm going to want to add a second keg soon, but using my single CO2 tank...where would the manifold go in relation to the system...in between the regulator and kegs? Thanks. Greg

yep...that's when I picked these up. I've done the red ale before, but still have a 12 left...I'm gping to give the brown a run.

Just realized a typo made it sound like this is my first ever brew! Nooooooo! But, it will be the first batch I ever keg!!! Thanks for all the input! Looks like it will be the brown ale...More votes???

I have three Northern Brewer extract kits on hand. I'm going to brew one when I get home tomorrow from work. This will also be the first beer I ever keg. You guys choose my next brew! Irish Red Pale Ale Brown Ale Go! Sorry, cell phone flipped the image!

OK...I know there a little sediment at the bottom of every bottle...I usually try not to pour it all into my glass, but on occasion I've poured up every drop into the glass, not paying attention...but...really don't notice that big of a difference in taste. Maybe clouds the beer a little...

I know this is probably a very tired question, but can someone point me to the best source/deal for a simple kegging setup...I want to be able to have use of two kegs (although I'll probably only get one to begin)...I need a kit that has everything I need...will be keeping it in the garage...

I do my boil with 3 1/2 gallons, then add 2 gallons of purified water (or however much it takes to reach 5 gal total) to the fermenter after cool down. I actually keep those gallons in the fridge to help with lowering the temp. Has worked fine for me. GT

Inside of 30 minutes, I've got Thomas Creek, Brewery85, Quest... Give me an hour and half (Asheville), I've got: Highland Asheville Green Man French Broad Pisgah Wedge Thirsty Monk Lexington Oyster House Altamont Blue Mountain Wicked Weed High Wire Lookout Burial Twin Leaf...
