That is awesome! Thanks!

I have a friend who has Sanke Couplers for his kegerator lines, but is interested in having one of my beers on tap. (Home bar, no legality issues) I keg in ball lock corny kegs. Does anyone know of an adapter/lid/way that we can make this work, short of replacing a beer and gas line with corny...

I've been using Northernbrewer.com for most things I order. I've found they have pretty much anything I need from Brew kits, to additives, to ingredients and equipment. Free shipping on orders over $40. They're based out of Minnesota, I usually get my stuff in a day or 2. They also offer some...

I plan on making my take on Potosi Brewings - Border War. its a bourbon barrel coffee stout. I've got all the ingredients I plan on using, except my coffee. 2 things I'm not sure of... 1. How Much coffee to use 2. Ground or bean coffee I've got an idea of the type I want to use, but am open to...

My one track mind didn't even consider set it and forget it carbonating, then bottling off of that. That would probably be the easiest. Thanks for the idea!

Hey everyone, I'm newish to kegging, helped my dad a few times, but have always bottled my own. I'm just wondering the pros/cons of burst carbonating, slow carbonating, and using priming sugar for my carbonation. I'm planning on kegging about half of my batch of Kölsch that I'm currently...

I checked mine closer after work yesterday and watched it this morning. Mine is still slowly going, I'm going to give it a day or so before I pop it to test

I was looking at making a starter then noticed in a thread that it wasn't a good idea.

I have not yet taken a gravity reading, just happened to notice the drastic change as I was getting ready for work this AM. I did not use a starter, just the dry yeast into the wort. Thanks for the tips!

I'm currently fermenting a Kölsch and had it take off quickly, very noticeable active fermentation within 12 hours of transfer. The krausen pushed up into my blowoff tube as it always does, and it setteled into a very rythmic 1-2 bubbles per second. When I checked it this morning, roughly 36...

I've burst my 3 piece airlock multiple times in the past, so now I use 2 2' sections of 1.75" OD PVC tubing, connected with a 90 angle into a bucket of either vodka water or starsan. That allows the wort to breathe and saves you some/lots of cleanup
