I thought minimal headspace was only nessecary with Apfelwine? Since graf ferments faster it should produce more c02 like a normal beer brew. Could someone confirm this plz?

Pics plz!~ From OP's link:

Everything I have read about Doppelbocks (but I am NO expert!) says they need MINIMUM 3-4 months aging in bottle or keg to achieve the best taste. Even better is 6-9 months or longer. They are supposed to taste harsh and gross at two weeks. You've gotta be patient and not dump stuff down the...

Your link is restricted to me?

To the original poster keep in mind most people brew 5 gal batches and this would need a 6.5 gal carboy/bucket; 5 gal bucket wouldnt be big enough.

Hey and welcome! I'm in your neck of the woods too. I saw that craigslist ad and you DID get a GREAT deal for all that stuff. You need to find a fridge still?? Sounds like you are next in line for a KEGERATOR build! Whahahaha let the brewing addiction begin! Seriously this hobby kicks butt and...

Wow how about a digital meter? LOL! http://www.keg-meter.com/

The adhesive really doesnt work at all when the keg is cold/full. For it to stick the keg has to be dry and room temperature. The condensation wrecks the adhesive and it wont stick to the moisture. I should have an empty keg sometime soon... HOW SOON? Who knows, i cant tell until i get this...

Awesome I'm super excited to try this too!

I sold my Wii because all they make are kids games. PS3 has some fantastic games. Xbox has the best multiplayer and best shooters. Personally I took the money and bought a new custom built game PC for $450 (yes it can play anything). Maybe you aren't getting the right games? The new CoD is...

You really just need two pressure zones - one for carbonating beer, and one zone for serving. If you have a single regulator and a 4-way manifold with on/off valve for each line, you can turn 'on' the keg to carb and 'off' the rest, or visa versa. Charge that new keg, then turn it 'off'. Reset...

Dont fret the mistakes, they mean you are learning. I have made 18 batches or so now and I am still 'learning' too. It's a hobby where you can drink the things you make! Once you give it a drink you will worry less about mistakes and more about MAKING MORE BEERZ~!

I just got a couple stick on LCD strips that are supposed to tell you the level. $6 tho..... Will report back when I try them, you have to stick them on when the keg is empty and warm (how often is that really) and of course u need to remember edit - dang i got ripped off compared to the link...

Cant wait to try it - got any pics? :) Yes I have seen the how-to thread

One night at 77 won't hurt the beer but you've got to figure out what works to keep it within or near the acceptable temp range for the yeast. What yeast did you use?

Airlock or blowoff tube is not optional for beer brewing.. Sorry to hear about the accident. $2 part is crucial

Since you aren't getting conversion from the specialty grains, the 30min steep is all they really need. Check out the BIAB partial or AG method and get cookin!!

Oh man he's a chem student too? Ouch.... GET PICS! :) Hope he is okay.

If you want something done fast, I personally would not 'spice' it up. Those spices are usually very strong and take time to mellow. But having a Wit ready in four weeks should not be any problem at all. Sounds like you bottle, which will be a little bit tougher... But it should be ready to...

Passedpawn, can you explain a little more? Are all three base malts that I would want to make a variety of brews? For now, I was hoping to stick to one large bag of base malt and some specialties. In the future I would expand to cover a wider spectrum of brew styles.
