If interested, I'll post the recipe I came up with. I have it on a document on my work computer right now. The Polish to English translation comes out to be this: 6lb wheat 2lb smoked wheat 1lb smoked spelt malt I elected not to smoke the malt myself and my LHBS only has plain spelt malt so I...

I think that is plenty reason to teach myself a step infusion mash. There was plenty of good information I found out there on how to attempt it with a cooler mash tun. All the more reason for me to justify a RIMS system, something I always considered to invest in. Just to assure what I read...

After dissecting this a bit more, I am now wondering if I need to do an acid rest or not. From my understanding, its used simply to lower Ph. I have not ventured deeply into my water chemistry yet to the point where I have a Ph meter and full control control of the Ph levels. To me, doing an...

Thanks guys....its all crystal clear now.

Awesome........great start and I appreciate the help. I basically batch sparge in a cooler and never done any step mashing. I assume I would need a new mash tun such as a kettle or RIMS or HERMS system to allow me to do a step mash and increase the mash temps in increments like that.

Not sure how much response I will get for this one, but here it goes. I have been wanting to brew a Grodziskie for a while now and was lucky to have someone from Poland to send me a recipe that had won the country's Grodziskie home brew competition. The recipe is in Polish. I used google to...

I am planning on building one of these controllers for myself. I see 153 pages of posts here to go through so please forgive me if my questions are already covered. First, are the parts list on the first page current and up to date? The technology is moving fast on this stuff and I want to make...

I'm in the process of building my kegerator and getting parts. I just bought a couple of ball lock kegs from someone on craigslist and they had an old regulator laying around that I grabbed for 10 bucks. After a first glance, it looked like a standard dual gauge regulator with both gauges with...

I come across another question in my quest for building my kegerator. I would be ok with getting a converted pinlock to ball lock keg as far as size goes, but I see some come with a static pressure relief and some come with a manual pressure relief. Do I need to have that manual relief?

Thats good to know...lol. One less thing.

Thanks everyone.......a wealth of information there. I'm pretty confident now on how and what to buy to complete my kegerator system.

The Keg Connection site looks great. But what do the different grades mean in his kegs? Standard Grade, A+ Grade, Converted Ball Lock Kegs, B-Grade?

Thanks for the replies. I was a little concerned in the quality of the parts from a kit. Cheap guages, taps, hoses, ect. I dont think I want to have to replace a majority of the parts down the road for something of better quality because it was easier to buy a kit in the beginning.

I just picked up a frig and now its time to get all my kegging equipment. Is it best to just buy a kegging kit to start out or can I save some money if I looked around and bought everything I needed separate?
