I just went to an awesome beer & wine store in Wells, Maine today -- called Tully's Beer & Wine. They had tons of different kinds of beers, but some that I'd like to find weren't available at all. Specifically I was looking for anything with Rye in it, and they had none. I also noticed they...

Great extra info, D*Bo! Yeah, if it's the same burner, a high pressure regulator is cheap. Do most of you guys get a fixed 20psi high pressure reg, or do you get an adjustable one? I rigged an adjustable reg onto an old grill a few years back and used to love the ability to throw the coals to...

Thanks -- a couple more quick questions. Is the one you have this one: http://www.divine-mercantile.com/Bayou-Classic-Banjo-Cooker_p_58-662.html It appears they make several models, which model is the one you have? I really like it. Or did you buy the burner and make the stand yourself?

Interesting about the caraway seeds -- and I originally thought it was the rye I disliked! I'll have to look for one of those beers with rye in them during my travels. Yup, the yellow labeled Jim Beam is the rye -- it does have a touch of harshness to it as described in Yuri's link...

I might try to go to the event on the 3rd --- I guess I'm out of town on the 10th so missing the ME one.

I've seen a few posts and recipes with rye as an ingredient in the brew. I've never had a rye beer. I've had rye bread, don't particularly care for it. I've read about Rye whiskey but never actually saw it in any bar or liquor store. So.... I inquired about Rye at the liquor store last...

Ditto to the previous two posts --- just relax, hurrying it to secondary isn't going to make the beer ready to drink any sooner. Quite often I find that beers can take a few weeks to finish fermentation, even when the OG isn't high and even when the temps are good and plenty of healthy yeast...

F'ing A, man, F'ng A. Like someone's avatar in here says - "It's On!"

Yeah, but your junk is UGLY! :) Actually, I'm thinking about doing just about the same thing, but I'm going to start with 10 gal MLT and a bigger kettle/keggle and hopefully a decent propane burner setup. Where'd you get your "ugly" new burner, I've seen it with the ugly keggle on it...

What are the kegs selling for at the scrapyard? What will a scrapyard give you for a keg after you missed the deadline for getting the deposit back?

While we're talking keggles, and not to hijack this thread, but is $45 fair or a bit high for a used keg (seller claims it is a legal keg)??? Might be buying soon, want to start gathering what I need for the switch to AG. To the OP -- Is it overkill to have a keggle for 5 gallon or 6 gallon...

Nice. Keep SWMBO happy, and everybody's happy!

Sincerest condolences, so sorry about your brother.

Nice find, and great job with the cleanup. Hopefully the compressor runs great for a long time to come.

Just thinking it'd be a ready-to-go bar if you had a very large chest freezer and you made one side of it the dispensing side with taps on a tower. Room for cornies and bottled beers inside. Probably too much work for what you'd get, though, as mentioned.

If you've never polished metal, especially stainless, I can see how you'd think that. It's a nasty nasty exhausting dirty and did I say nasty, job!

Do you just cut the vine and reel it in, then pull the hops off when you get the vine down where you can deal with it? Just curious how it's done.

I was wondering why nobody has made their own TOP for the kegerator, taller, and maybe split so you can open one half and leave the other half shut. You could even do it not much taller and use a tower on top of one of the halfs, and maybe make it so you never open the half with the tower on it...

Hefe +1 I brew hefe regularly and have fine tuned it after not all that many batches. I'm not to AG yet, though. Will need to do the whole process again when I switch. But I like it, you learn what works/doesn't within the style and you also learn that very subtle changes can make big...
