Welcome from Arizona!

This was too cool! I found the article really interesting, especially the stuff about one half of one percent. Scrolling through the other articles was cool too. I read it last night, going to read some more tonight!

Haha! I am also interested in the outcome of this.. my guess will be that both work do the trick.

Holy crap, thats awesome! That is a huge time saver!

Very nice! Post up when you put these through a brew day and let us know how well they worked for you =)

7 weeks is a little long, but not unheard of... Crack the lid and taste a sample! I am sure its good, bottle it up and enjoy =)

Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout and Arrogant Bastard. I used to drink tons of the cheap stuff, but I would buy bombers of these to "start the night". AB was really the first I think, but I walked into an Albertson's and they had a shopping cart full of bombers for a buck. Mostly Samuel Smiths, so I...

The gas should remain turned on the whole time.

Obviously a glass is the first choice for most everyone. I keg my beer, so drinking out of a bottle is extremely rare. I do, however, fill up 1 liter bottles from the keg when I go places that do not allow glass. I will then drink from the plastic bottle. No yeast to worry about for me in that case.

When DME gets old, it will get hard like that. It should be OK, I have some that is 10 years old that I use for starters. If its hard like that, hit it with a rolling pin or something solid, and you can break it back down to its powdered form. Kind of like sugar, a little bit of humidity can...

I have not done this specific kit.. however, I have brewed quite a few of their other kits. Every single one has been awesome. Great recipes, high quality ingredients; I am sure you will be impressed.

What do you mean by extended? I have a batch still in the fermenter right now that has been in there for 5 months... and since I am busy, it probably won't see bottle/keg for at least another month.

The 525 is not the creamer, I think thats the 575.

Yeah, I got the 525's and they seem kinda sloppy. Maybe they need to be adjusted? Sometimes, 12psi is enough for them to start pouring on their own when I hook them up to a fresh keg.

Um, that machine just takes the same water you get from the tap and runs it though filter(s) that get changed occasionally.

Yay! You are going to love kegging!

This is the one I have, and fits them great with the collar.

Well, if you wait until its clear (totally clear, like looking at a bottle of white wine) then I would say go ahead and bottle it and give it as gifts. I would just let those people know to wait a few months to drink it!

We do the Franks with butter for making mild wings.. also try butter and garlic, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for a change of pace.

Yeah, I find my kegs clear up in a couple of weeks... but if I rush it, I just tell people "its natural and unfiltered." Damn hippies think its extra special at that point!
