HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OK....if the bung is stuck use some star san as you try to get it off. It will work its way down the side of the bung as you try to pry it out. It will take a little bit, but it works.

I have the same problem when using star san. I put my blow off tube in the bung and shake it around until it is dry. No problems once that happens.

To add to a previous post......You need to stir your wort while you are running water through your chiller, especially if the water coming out is still cool. Also, something I did was create a pre-chiller, basically just a smaller IC that I place in ice water to get my tap water chilled to a...

I agree.....I just set the second keg at serving pressures and wait 2-3 weeks. Works for me.

Oh.....one of my favorite styles!!!!! I have brewed 2 batches so far this winter. Winter is the only time my house is cool enough for my liking. I put the primary into a rubbermaid container and fill it with water 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the carboy. I cycle frozen water bottles in and out...

Interesting thought. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I too usually add my dry yeast either to the top or sometime in the middle if I have some help.

Don't forget a california common!!!!!!!! I just got done brewing up my second batch this winter. Just a thought.

I have an Agata capper and it caps the american bottle just fine. I works well and is a great presentation for pulling out a a party or get together. I plan on getting several and filling different styles with my beer gun. I will then use some as gifts when people have me and my wife over for...

I tried it with S-04 and it is solid. Love that yeast. It plowed through it in no time.

Sorry....been way too busy. I had an ESB that got a 31 and a Blonde that got a 28.5. All in all I was pleased. Seems my major knock was that I was a little out of style. I knew that going in about the blonde. I added more hops than normal. I like it and I brewed it that way on purpose. I...

I am super pumped, I entered 2 of my beers in my first contest today!!!!! I entered a Blonde Ale and an ESB. I can't wait to get some feedback on them. Wish me luck!!!!!!!

I just brewed an all columbus IPA, smells great!!!! It is my first time brewing with columbus. I plan on dry hopping and wanted some advise. I have a ton of cascade and even some citra. Would either of those, or a combo of them go good with the columbus? Thanks!!

I have been a couple of times to the BLVD tour and I thought it was great. They give you a short tour, answer any questions you have, and open their tasting room to you to have as many as you would like before the next tour. They want you to try them all. I really enjoyed myself. Here is a...

Just so happens I bought an all Columbus IPA kit on sale from more beer recently. Been looking for a time to brew it. Think I just found that time!!!!!!!! Count me in!!!!

And BOOM goes the dynomite!!!!!!!! Easy drinking beer. Guys loved it and the women enjoyed as well!!!!!!!!! Came home with a few...think I'll crack one open now. I think the hops are perfect. there is just enough citrus in this to make it smooth. All around good stuff. Good thing I have...

Brewed a batch of this about 2 months ago for a football party. Today is the party!!!!!! Just loaded it up in a couple of coolers. Hopefully it is a hit. First time I have brewed a batch for a get together. Wish me luck!!!!!!!

Ok....I am still thinking for you here. Check this place out. They have decent beers, not a huge selection, but good enough, but the pizza is great. Big screens to watch some games on too. It is out south and worth a look. http://www.savastanospizzeria.com/

Hmmmmm.......I am from the area, but my favorite places are downtown. Mcnellie's Public House http://mcnellies.com/site/sections/1 and Fassler Hall http://www.fasslerhall.com/ . Both unique and awesome!!! It is definataly worth the trip downtown to check them out. As far as out south by...

solbes Screw you out of 0.8 oz? really? i mean yes they are something like 11.2 or 11.4 oz bottles, but no one is getting screwed out of anything here. You are looking at it all wrong. You get an extra beer or 2 per batch......i mean really who can tell if it is a little short of 12 oz...

I think I was in this thread somewhere in the past, but will chime in now too. Fullers bottles are awesome, built like tanks!!!!! SN, Sam adams are long time staples. I have been trying to get my hands on something a little different. The new red hook bottles are awesome, anchor steam...
