So....
I'd really like to start kegging but don't have an extra fridge nor do I have the space for an extra fridge.
Does anyone out there keg with no fridge?
Feel free to respond with something like..
"Dude.. If you don't have a fridge how in the world will you keep your kegs...
1. I want a kegging system.
2. A 2 hour soak in ammonia and wather bath will let MOST of the lables fall right off.
3. I hate scrubbing labels off the bottles that don't fall into the category above.
4. ammonia smells horrible.
5. Bottles dry with a streak free shine :)
6. Bottles...
ok.. so here is the update..
I forgot to take a gravity reading on thursday like i said i was going to.. so another today won't tell me anything. (right?)
anyway..
My airlock is putting out one bubble ever 30 seconds. Does that give me any good indication of whether or not bottling time...
thanks everyone..
just a small update..
I went and moved the carboy from the bottom of the bathtub to the top of a cooler that is sitting in the bathtub and that sort of encouraged some of the gunk on top to start settling.. not sure if that was good or bad.. but i'm not to worried about...
Ok team.. :) I did some searching for this but couldn't find anything. (not a big fan of the search utility here either btw)
I have some ingredients questions that might be worth an FAQ link.. but I guess we'll see.
I have ingredients for a kit that I'll probably brew within the week but...
I used WLP300
for maybe two days it was rockin.. pretty much constant bubbling..
now it is about 4-5 a min i think.. i'll have to count after work.
one of my worries with it is that the kreausen doesn't look similar to a normal beer head. (which is kindof what i was expecting althought...
i hope..
My hefe has been in primary for 9 days and fermentation has slowed quite a bit. I was expecting the kreausen to totally dissapear and the yeast to start collecting at the bottom of the carboy but this hasn't happened yet.
high kreausen has passed but there is still a lot of it...
gotcha..
I think i'll stick to that ..
I don't actually have a secondary.. it is still in the primary fermenter but i don't think that changes anything..
Thanks!

Ok team.. here is the deal.
I have a hefe in primary that will have been there a full week tomorrow. My initial plan was to leave it be for another week and then bottle.
My birthday is three weeks away and I think my wife is having a party here at the house for me.
Would it be better...
Just wait till they thaw him out and bring him back to life and you could probably call him up.. :tank:
well.. i don't guess he ended up in the cryo freeze after all huh...
oh well.
oh..
1 other person i'd like to have a beer with..
Yoda!
this is true..
I think when the time comes (which may be way on down the line) I'll take the "brew your favorite porter and add the extra stuff in secondary" route..
but i always like reading what folks have to offer :)
thanks team!:mug:
