Wow - just gotta say thank you for that recipe :) I'm drinking a bottle straight out of the pasteurizing pot with a stick of cinnamon in it. Delicious! :mug:

Is there any reason I couldn't just use another cup of brown sugar with a bit of apple juice to sweeten at the end rather than honey? Is there any reason it wouldn't stay in solution? Just asking because I think I might prefer the taste of the caramelized brown sugar over the caramelized...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I tested for leaks with soapy water, and everything's tip top. Didn't find any leaks. Pulled the gauge off of the new regulator and put the old one on. The readings were wildly different. I don't remember exactly what the reading was on the "new" gauge (i...

Sorry, should also mention I'm keeping these kegs in my fridge, which is set to about 34F.

Is there a way to test a Co2 regulator to make sure the reading is correct? I recently bought a 4-body regulator from one of the big online sites, and after hooking it up and letting it force-carb a batch of ale at 10psi for 2 weeks, there is zero carbonation to speak of. No head, no floaty...

San Antonio TX has one decent store on the extreme northeast side. We would be well-served by a home-brew store on the West side of town. Driving an hour across town over 410/35 is a huge pain in the ass.

^This. I decided pretty quickly that I wouldn't be writing much directly above my taps. I'm no expert, but I believe you just want to take off the shine. If it's dull-looking, you're good. I would recommend borrowing some kind of electric sander from a friend if you don't have one...

Here's a pic. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I did the roll-on for my kegerator just last week. I wouldn't trust the spray paint to do an even coat. Just get the rollers that are basically foam, and it won't leave a texture. The thing you'll want to worry about is the surface of the fridge. If it's patterned, that pattern will show...

22205.5 + 5 Shiner Bock Clone -------- 22210.5

Check AHS? I'm not familiar with the process myself, but I do remember seeing at least one cooler conversion kit on there.

Check this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/2-below-clone-anyone-144817/ I haven't tried it, but I love 2 Below, so I will definitely be trying it some time in the near future.

Even if you screw up your D-rest and come out with butter beer (as I did with my first lager), you can fix it by pitching more yeast into it at room temp for a few days (as I did with my first lager). Was fine after that until the end of the keg.

Not true. I grew my own for a while, and got quite an experience from smoking just the leaves. Never made extract. Also, if you roll 8-10 fresh leaves up into a quid and chew on it for a while, you can lay on the couch for 30-45 minutes and take a 3 hour tour through your mind...

Salvia isn't intended to be "fun". It's not a "fun" experience. Those who are smoking it to "get high" or "messed up" deserve the bad experience they are getting. It's not like weed. It's a serious psychotropic that will completely change your perception, and is not to be toyed with lightly...

Oh, no ****...I was wondering why my can of Brooklyn Lager said "In TX, Malt Liquor" on the side...

Dual Body isn't the same as Dual Gauge. Dual body regulators are for setting two separate pressures for two separate kegs.

Never heard of 'em, but I'll have to check 'em out, I guess - Cheers!
