I just got some kegging stuff from everwood ave, overall includeing shipping I saved 15 bucks on obk where I normally order, everything was good and came a day earlier than expected, will order again

I also kegged for the first time last night.. forced carb and poured. turned out great, but a tip for picnic taps, open the picnic tap all the way when pouring otherwise if you press down part way I just got foam from the tap. not sure if its the same on a regular faucet.

yup it will work, I just brewed a late lme addition on the weekend, 1ltr(2.2lbs) added with the first hops then ill add the rest of the malt extract when there is 15-20 mins left in the boil. you get better hops utilization by not adding all of the malt extract in the beginning when a full boil...

I just left the caps loose for the primary, from tight about half a turn loose. I was going to drill a hole in the caps and put airlocks in them but i have brewed without airlocks before with success

ive tried to clone fullers a few times and i never seem to have to hop flavor right like mine always seems to fall short, same as roasted taste, mine has a nice roasted chocolaty taste, but i never seem to get that strong bitter choclate flavour of there london porter. ive used as much as 3/4 lb...

just sampled a bottle from my last batch using this yeast, this is one of my best beers, not sure if its cause of the yeast, more grain (partial mash) than usual, or just a good balance. realy easy recipe... for 23 l batch 4.4 lme 3 lb 2-row 1/2 caramel 60l 1/2 carafoam(dextrine malt)...

I found i got pretty good results with BYO directions, I used a big grain bag etc. i didnt check og but I know i got about as much as 2.2lbs of lme with 4 lbs of grain worth of fermentables.

Tony I am planning on making a rye pale ale, as i have some malted rye and flaked in stock which I want to use up. I used the malt in a porter recipe but it was only slightly noticable, how much do you usualy add? thanks

i know it depends on the size of the chips, I went for 1 oz of oak chips thrown directly in the secondary, 3 weeks... oak was quit strong at first but now in bottles for a few weeks and its perfect, i may even add a lil more the next time i do this recipe, some people steam the chips or soak...

I learned a new primary technique for me anyways. I was at my lhbs and i noticed that they had there airlocks on the edge of the bucket lid rather than the centre, they told me they ferment with the buckets on a bit of an angle to create more headspace for karuasen (sp) not by volume but by...

Hi im trying to plan a few brews in advance and would like to try a rye pale ale style... ive used rye malt in a porter but it didnt realy come through all that much, ive got a couple pounds of rye malt and some flaked malt. Any ideas which hops go best with this style? the peppercorn rye bock...
