Yeah, where are the pics? You cant brag and not post pics.

I made a keggle out of a sanke. I used a weld be gone fitting. The weld be gone fitting protrudes into the keggle and it is threaded on the inside. I also purchased a bazooka T screen with a sanke adapter. The sanke adapter screws into the weld be gone fitting and the bazooka T slides on to the...

I cleaned the side of the carboy w/ rubbing alch, then marked the carboy with a black sharpie and placed good quality clear packing tape over the marking. Looks like a little laminated square on the side of the carboy. I have not had a problem with it coming off.

Too much will just clog you funnel filter with irish moss, it swells and gets jelly like when it re hydrates. 1 teaspoon is fine, you are just wasting it if you use more.

Iowa! That freaking place gets cold. I was in guthrie center hunting phesants with my father when i was a kid and the temp was at least 20 below no to mention the freaking wind chill. So cold the dogs were trying to climb in our coats with us.

He gets his terms mixed up on the show, but it promotes the hobby so what do i care. I really enjoy Good eats and i have seen him do multiple shows on the same topic, i hope a second homebrew show is in the future.

Just like the others said: It is a small yeast colony having their last party for the season. Dont worry, all is well.

I smack mine 2-5 hours before i pitch. never had any probs w/ them.

How did you texans like the snow and ice? Any good stories? Hope no one broke their ass.

Get the gasket! See if you can devise some clamping mechanism to keep the laid in tight contact w/ the gasket.

Is that where you get good head?

Go to the hardware store and get an inline valve for the side line, so when you have your bottle washer hooked up you can turn off the flow.

with that conical you have to rack or transferr after your fermentation is complete, ie 2-5 days down thwe road. It is like doing you primary in a bucket and not in a carboy. The co2 will start to dissapate if there is no air tight seal on the fermentor and there is no active fermentation happening.

All the urquell i get in chicago is skunk. That is why i hate that crap.

Wont the beer absorb the co2 and drop the pressure in the corny? If you prime instead of force carb. will the pressure inhibit the yeast?

I just brewed 2 batches on Wed. using both pellet and whole/ leaf hops. I think the leaf hops are better. I ate a couple of leaves to tase them ansd get an idea about flavor and the leaf hops were more flavorful and much more bitter than the pellets. Plus the leaf hops dont make a freaking mess...

I think it means that the water flow is too high. That is not a bad thing unless you are trying to save on water bills.

Ahh. Beginning to understand, thanks.

The rule for beer is hops water malt and yeast. Sugar is bad to use as your main fermentable. Look in the recipie section to get an idea of the amounts of ingred. in 5 gallon batches, then get a recipie and stick to it. Corn sugar works great for priming but makes beer taste like watery trash...

Outside to inside does not equal 5 to 10 psi in a keg. If the kegs were sold re conditioned then get your replacements now for the flat ones.
