I bought a mesh tea ball to dry hop a Sierra nevada clone in the keg. My question is whether or not its ok that it is chrome plated brass? I hadnt thought of it until now and I am about to transfer the beer into the keg.

SEE? told you I'm a noob.

We need a "like" button like Facebook. ***THIS^^^^^

Fifty bucks says he put it in the fridge and then proceeded to drink it as cold as the pee water he usually drinks... I have taken a porter and had someone taste it lager cold, they hated it. Warm it up to the appropriate temp and they said "hey this is pretty good".

I'm still considered a "noob" but i think if i were going to bottle something I was planning on keeping around for a while I would spend the extra money on the caps that absorb oxygen. And i would even consider waxing them.

Dude, your friends suck.

Nice! If you can find it, which i am sure you can seeing as its over here in MA, grab a sixer of ruthless rye ipa from Sierra nevada. It's a damn fine beer.

I also have a dead guy ale clone bottled, it hits 3 weeks this Sunday. Im kegging an Irish red this weekend, and then a kolwch the week after that, a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone hits one week in primary this Sunday and Sunday I will also be brewing an ipa. I got the keg equipment now so its one...

I have a chocolate cherry porter that i bottled about 5 weeks ago and reading everything on here about how much beers improve over time makes me afraid to drink them, but I admit to drinking about 8 or so of them and each one is tasting better and better. I moved a 12 pack to the basement to...

Personally I would get a keg of budweiser, throw a party, charge for a keg cup, and make back all my money, and not give Budweiser their keg back. But thats just me. Those guys do much worse to plenty of other people. But don't get in trouble and say I made you do it.

Anybody keg this stuff? From the sounds of it this may be dangerous to have "on tap". I'm gonna do it.

I put 36 Sierra Nevada bottles into my "soaking bin" last night with oxiclean... All labels are now floating and the glue wipes right off with a towel :drunk:

I recently left a batch in primary for 5 weeks because I got lazy, it turned out to be the best beer i have ever made. I had originally intended to leave it in there for 3 weeks.

Wow.... That is awesome! I plan on trying this...

Put my name in the hat twice ;)
