Well I will at least say the best news was my wife said “you are definitely brewing this one again” which helps with the money spent on equipment lol

Had my middle son’s graduation party and successfully kicked my first leg since starting to brew and was my NEIPA shown early. Only lasted 2 weeks in the keg and got rave reviews. A couple questions before I do the next one… 1) The flavor seemed to evolve during the whole two weeks...

I’m late posting so this is a “what I did for beer this weekend”. Had middle sons graduation party so got to roll out the first full use of new Keezer and and four beers available. Also kicked my first keg since starting kegging. Was my first attempt at a NEIPA and was excellent.

Which is why I unhooked them ;)

What’s the effect of disconnecting along the way? Just curious because I had some keezer issues lately that caused me to have to disconnect. One keg was probably mostly carbed and the other was just a couple days in. Then. I had to disconnect for a couple days. Does that reset the timer or...

I might be ;)

As an old hydraulics engineer I’m smiling about all the additional leak points you created to find jean leaks but I also get it. Temporarily I went the route of hooking up a single gas line to each tank. Pressurizing that portion and monitoring over night and saw no change in pressure so...

How quickly is quickly for the regulator? I was going to just direct connect my two tanks to my two kegs for now until the parts arrive to redo the gas lines but thought I better leak test that set up as well. I put a 2-3 foot hose connected to a ball lock on the tank and turned off the stem...

All right you all were right. I really thought I had everything good on the tubing side but I got home and the gauges read 0. I'm just going to replace the manifold with duotight connections which is where I wish I had started and be confident in it. Ordered everything and should be here on...

Took a sample last night after getting keezer hooked up. The lighting in my basement is awful and the picture is way darker than it looks like in person. Had good citrus/tropical flavor balanced with a good amount of bitterness. Mouthfeel was really good. There was a bit of harshness to it...

I’ve walked through isolating as much of the circuit like described above and I think all the lines are leak free. But I’ll admit that I could have been more systematic in my isolating the different parts so I’ll go through that again. I had a break in meetings so ran home quick from work...

Poured my last one of these Sunday night and I’m sad it’s gone. Will definitely make it back into the brew schedule soon. Was a basically the original recipe from OP. Future I’ll probably put this on a regular rotation and play with the hop combos. I have a pound of Nectaron I bought...

This picture is a messy in progress version. On the gas side vinyl hoses and barb connections to the manifold and the ball locks. Hindsight I would have done something differently but like a lot of things in my brewing experience so far I bought the manifold and the noticed something I...

I just finished a keezer build and not sure if I’m being paranoid so looking for advice. A little background I started kegging and first batch I just put in the chest freezer with a picnic tap while finishing getting stuff for a collar etc. At one point I added a second keg with my eventual...

I brewed the second recipe from this thread a little bit ago and I thought flavor was spot on to the OG Fat Tire. Color was a bit dark but flavor was right there. I’m not sure I know exactly what you mean by biscuity flavor though...

Well… 1) I prepped for brewing tomorrow (maybe Sunday). Got grain milled. Prepped water. Measured out boil and whirlpool hops (trying to make brew day less chaotic) Then 2) started on a rough keezer collar. I started brewing this year and first said “I’m not kegging for a year. Then...

Ok I'm in for the weekend. Not sure if Saturday or Sunday. Going to prep tonight. Focus for this brew (besides making a great session tailgate beer) is think through my brew timing and try to get more time efficient. The last couple brews took longer than I would have liked. Part of that is...

I think it would be workable for steaks. If you wanted to pull a brisket out of the freezer and throw it in the Igloo for a couple days it isn't going to work. Steaks I typically only sous vide for an hour to get close to the final temp and finish/sear on my grill. Steaks also don't have as...

Do you really need rice hulls in that? I don’t know anything about African Queen hops tbh so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I’d go lower on the IBUs in the boil. Less than 40 at least. Dry hop idk if you get that much more from two doses as long as you can shake or rouse the...
