I got the thing half way home and realized it was aluminum... Ill return it if I can. whats the deal with aluminum, you can't apply heat to it? I might just assemble my system with the 6.5 gallon keg or find a 15 gal one elsewhere... they have a keg here with a welded fitting. but I have...

awsome. its a stainless container. I will go grab it and take a picture for ya. it was only 32 bucks. I figured I was better off to check, but I figured Nitrogen Oxide wouldn't be harmfull.

So i just went to a local recycling place. They had a 32 pound liquid nitrogen container that looked like it might make a great brew kettle. Is this a chemical i don't want to mess with or would it be fine if the inside is smooth and i cut the top off and clean it? I took pictures with my...

Thankyou everyone. Ill start by getting some equipment, and I'll get used to running at a at least few times at home. I'll give as much as I can away, and once I have a good system I'll look at commercial space and talk to a lawyer about licensing and everything else.

So, I know this is getting to be an old post. What would I be facing as far as permits and licensing if I wanted to start at a 1-3.5 bbl system selling kegs to local bars? I expect to pay from 8k for a 1 bbl system to around 30k for a 3.5bbl system. What am I looking at for attaining...

Im searching for the same path. Id love to start with a small brewery. starting with beer, moving into BBQ pit. Produce just a couple regular beers with maybe some seasonal brews, specialty Ciders, and grow as much of my own ingredients as possible.

Great advice... I know I'm still a long ways out.... and i certainly need more experience and some really good recipes

Ok.... A few weeks ago, I already collected all of the paperwork. I don't expect to throw a business together in a year and expect profits. I am sorry for talking about distilling but It would all be 100% legal and a side venture. Either way I will be starting by growing hops and continuing...

OK! I haven't even searched this topic, I just want feedback. I have been brewing for about 3 years now and have experience with extract brewing. I have that down to a T. I have done enough reading about all grain brewing and after a few batches I'm sure Ill be able to handle it. I have...

Hey. I have been reading online all over about distilling. My only real question is how do i remove the first and the last 30 ml of everything I distill. There is a local guy around here that makes stove top stills, I might talk to him about it. However I'm signed up for this website so i...

Has anyone tried using a gallon or two of fresh apple cider instead of the usual tap water in a batch of beer. just curious. I think I might try it, ill try and post results and a recipe if I come up with something good.

I want to get some people to join in on this. There don't seem to be a whole lot of cider recipes on the site. I thought I would share what my recipe's have been and what direction im considering taking it in. Also would like to get some feedback from anyone else who has done similar brews...

I'm interested in adding some thoughts. When racking the cider, i know that components of the cider itself settle. Even when you purchase a gallon of it at the store you have to shake it, otherwise stuff remains on the bottum. So is anything lost from the cider when it is racked? I'm also...
