    issues with first lager (to chuck or not to chuck)

    This is what my thought was. I would have done the diacetyl rest after 3 weeks if I did not throw my back out. I just did another rest over the weekend and brought the temp down quickly to 40. I have a beer I will be kegging on Wednesday and another brewing on Saturday. I will give it till...

    issues with first lager (to chuck or not to chuck)

    I have had it lagering for just about 2 months. It fermented for 2 months as well...that is what concerns me as it was sitting on the yeast a long time.

    issues with first lager (to chuck or not to chuck)

    I started an Oktoberfest in the half of October. After pitching the yeast I stored it in the basement for fermentation. It fermented at 52 degrees. Now here is where I mayhave messed up...I threw my back out and was out of comission until the end of December. This is when I was able to...

    building a hops set up

    I like the idea of the PVC. I did not even think about Bob...the Gopher that destroyed my yard last year.

    building a hops set up

    I am re thinking the flower box idea and may just replace and or fix the soil directly where I will plant them. As far as the green house material goes it is a really heavy gaged plastic. That should not matter though because the hops will be growing out side of it. Im just using the green...

    building a hops set up

    My thought here is being able to better control the soil. My soil is very poor so I figured a good foot or more of really good top soil would the way to go.. I could be completely wrong of course.

    building a hops set up

    I plan on planting hops and have been thinking about building a support structure. I have a green house in my yard about 20' in length with the length side facing south. It stands about 8' in height. I was thinking of building some flower boxes on the side and running twine to the top of...

    It is only 12 for the shipping through the website...you do however pay living social the 65 directly. There for you get two seperate charges...just an fyi...I thought the same thing when the code negated 100 percent. I then remembered giving living social my card info.

    I just ordered it. I paid living social for a code and got sent to the web site where I signed up and paid for shipping after entering the code. It was pretty easy and took about five minutes.

    CO2 Keg Pressure when Valve Closed?

    I had the same issues that you describe when I kegged my first beer with a new keg system. I returned the regulator after I lost 5lbs of co2 in only 2 days. I checked all seals etc...with soapy water and could not see or hear anything. The keg was leaking which I only figured out by adding...

    CO2 Keg Pressure when Valve Closed?

    You could have a leak in the keg. Keg lube would be a really cheap easy fix. I had similiar issues and keg lube on the gaskets and o rings fixed it.
