I'm sorry for your loss. Death is hard, period, but especially if it appears to be self inflicted in some way. Yeah, this is preachy but true, the closer you are to God the farther you are from things which will destroy you. God bless

I don't think water is my problem, we have pretty good water here & my other brews have been good. I'm thinking Lennie might have nailed it, the hops might have been too bitter & with a full boil & me squeezing the hell out of the hop bag, it's probably overhopped. Wonder if time will make it...

I used the NB all grain kit, full boil BIAB. Carbonation level was actually low, as I had just force carbed it & it wasn't "there" yet. I can't imagine it getting any more bitter as it carbs up. Might get it close to the "pitch it out" stage.

I'm a fairly new brewer, 7 brews I think, but this was the first one I was truly disappointed in. Brewed on 2-15, tried it out yesterday (kegged) & man was it bitter! Pretty much undrinkable. My third BIAB brew, but the others were very good. Since I'm doing full boils, should I reduce hop boil...

Yeah, I've turned the thermostat screw down & it cools quite well though it has a pretty wide temp range. Would do well to buy an external controller, but I don't want to sink a bunch of $ into this chinese made piece of !@#%!. I researched the top commercial brands & they use fan forced cooling...

I thought about installing the cooling fan, but I wasn't sure if it would work. Anybody have any experience with this ebay system? I've read conflicting reviews on the fan fix in general. If it does indeed cool tower effectively, I might build a cool "T" type tower & go to 2 or 3 taps

OK, I scored a cheap kegerator when I first got into brewing, bout 6 months ago. Unfortunately, I got what I paid for, which is a Haier. I've got the typical foaming & temp issues that plague these units because there is no fan in the unit & the tower remains too hot. Yes, I've tried the copper...

No, that's the thing, I don't use a siphon, I just ferment in the bottling bucket. I keep a telephone book under one side of the bucket to tilt it so sediment is collected away from the spigot. I then just hook up a tube to spigot & transfer to keg. Do you think a racking tube with tip would...

OK, I'm three batches into my brewing career. Decided at outset to go with kegs to eliminate bottling hassles. First batch was drinkable, a hopped can extract kit included with purchase of beginner kit. Second was very good, a kolsch extract kit from NB. Third is almost ready, man I can't wait...

I'm a little confused as I prepare to brew first batch. I was under the impression you had to boil the wort for about an hour prior to pitching the yeast. The beer kit I have (Coopers Australian Lager) says to simply add 2 ltrs boiling water to extract, stir, cool down & pitch yeast. Do I have...
