Don't forget an extra bedroom for me to stay in when i visit! who cares if you have no idea who the h#ll i am! :) ws

I have an extra pack of nottingham ale yeast on its way to me. would it be a good candidate if fermented cool (around say 62??) thanks will

true true... i'll be able to order on wednesday so i'll think it over and look for some jugs in the meantime.. any thoughts on the experimental grains?? ws

Thanks.. I don't really plan on having any secondary fermentation on any of these.. probably just two weeks in primary under foil. I don't have an local home brew shop so i have to order on line... ok so after checking that is 1.85 for a stopper and airlock.. x 6 = about 11 bucks. not a...

Ok.. So i've got this plan to do a 5 gallon boil and split it up into maybe 6 different small fermentors and top each one off with various different steeped and mini mashed grain "teas" to get a good idea what each one tastes like on its own and what it contributes to a brew. I'm going to...

you have more than once considered turning a piece of furniture into a kegerator.

good point..

gotcha.. i was wondering if that would be possible.. (steeping the grains in plain water and adding in after the boil) wasn't sure if the flavors from the specialty grains needed to be in the boil as well. thanks for the insight.. austinhomebrew.com has 3 gallon buckets with lids...

Ok.. so my brewing resume is pretty short.. 1 German Hefe 1 Nutbrown Ale 1 Porter All from morebeer.com kits. They did me pretty well but I'm more interested now in building my own recepies. Here is what i want to do. I was thinking about getting some 1 or 2 gallon jugs and also...

I wonder if a camelback bite valve would work on that thing.. just bite down and the beer flows..

Ok.. so here's the deal... I've done 3 brews so far. all above recommended ferm temp (at times) fluctuating between 78 - 65 The first was a German Hefe.. Second was a Nutbrown Ale with Safale-04 yeast (http://morebeer.com/product.html?product_id=16431) Third was a porter that i...

I use a good bit of de-wigitized guiness bottles.. i have also (FWIW) experimented with leaving the widget in. just for fun really. I've only done it once in a German Hefe and didn't have the pleasure of opening it. SWMBO opened it and it spewed all over her.. tee hee.. I don't recall...

Yeah.. thats the plan.. (looking at the beer gun) but with the fridge on the list too.. i need a loan.. hehe ws

Roger, Roger.. Copy that... I think i figured that part out yesterday.. last night i took the grolsh bottle that had been in the fridge and poured it into a glass.. it was almost totally flat.. soooooo i went to the keg and basically put some foam and a nice head on top.. made for...

yeah.. i dropped the regulator all the way.. then bleed off the pressure to almost none and then brought the regulator back up to maybe 5 psi

well.. i went ahead and hooked the tap up and dropped the psi as low as i could get it. Still gobs of foam. i did manage to get a glass or two out though. the beer wasn't bad at all warm although it was better cold. (i just put what i could into a grolsh bottle and stashed it in the...

even if it is around 70 deg? ws

if you could managed to carefully cut or drill the glass that would make for a SWEET behind the scenes view..

oh.. what a fabulous offer.. but i'm from mississippi... oh well. ;) but you are right.. pennsylvania isn't very farr from massachusetts :)

I might give this a shot.. or maybe just drop the thing in an ice bath after all and drink lots :) I'll make sure to back off the pressure.. I can imagine that serving warmish beer around 30 psi could make quite a mess :) ws
