Only because it annoys people… Sus

I do small batch brewing and I am looking to do some kegging. I see Northern Brewer has released a 1 gallon keg kit which looks quite nice, but has anyone had any experience with other brands? TMCraft, NutriChef, etc.?

I made a holiday brew and added a spiced candied orange peel to secondary. I cooked the orange peel with sugar, cinnamon, clove, allspice, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger in my instant pot for about 20 minutes. Hoping this was a good way to go.

I just looked at the jar. It is off the scale in terms of usability. Thanks all for your input. Live and learn I guess. I will boil the spices for the last 5 minutes or so next time, or go through the canning process. I like the idea of saving extra wort because after blowoff and trub I can add...

for future reference, how would one go about sterilizing?

All spices were boiled. I took the boiling wort from the brew kettle 5 minutes prior to boil ending, added the spices and continued to boil as the rest of the wort cooled. so all should be clean.

I have since lost some through blowoff, there is a bit of loss in trub, there is sediment in the spiced jar. All in all there is room for at least some of it. I planned on putting he spiced stuff in the jug then topping off with the primary. The yeast point though does seem a good one.

So I brewed up about 1.25 gallons of what I hope to be a nice Spiced Holiday Ale. I have one gallon fermenting quite nicely, and put the other .25 gallon in a sanitized mason jar along with some spices. My plan is to add that to the secondary (which I know will kick off a primary for that .25...

turbinado is "Sugar in the Raw"

I always let them go for 2 weeks before chilling and opening them. he Bass seemed to carbonate a little more, but nothing worth mentioning.

For a 1 gallon Dry Irish Stout, I used about .5oz For 1.5 gallon Bass Ale Cline, I used about .8oz Had them conditioning in the same place as I have the bottles conditioning with Fizz Drops.

I have done a couple All-Grain brews now, and on both of them I have had bad luck with carbonation. I followed the priming calculators online, and on the second batch I even decided to go a little on the heavier side (different sites gave different amounts for priming). I used Turbinado sugar...

I have my first cider going and am looking for the simplest method of carbonating/conditioning. Here is what I have done so far... 1 gallon organic/preservative free cider from my local Whole Foods removed ~20 oz for head space (and because my kids like it) mixed 1/2 cup turbinado sugar into...
