I am pretty green. Where do I find these meetings?

Actually, I live across the street from the Mill on the River...I can hook you up this week actually.

I bet the trade is for Spotted Cow. A Wisconsin favorite, but not distributed outside the state!

Thanks for the thoughts. It is pretty much what I had come up with on my own...wasn't sure if anyone had a out of the box idea. Thanks again.

I will take you up on that.

Drink it. Ya, I know that. I personally brew about 10 gallons of beer a month. Nothing crazy. Right now I am working on a new recipe and it is good but not great. My question is, what do you do with your extra beers? I give some away, but at some point I feel like I am making more beer...

Exactly what I was thinking...also the results of my first brew.

Lambic?

Glass Carboys do look sexier then a bucket in the corner.

Update on the move to kegging. I purchased a new CO2, Dual Reg, Tubing, locks and Picnic Tap for $130. I am going to grab a keg today, I figure for around $50...looking for 2. I have a fridge in the garage with room, I can modify that without the wife shooting me. So I am now into kegging for...

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Just 0.0027? I take back everything I said. My idea won't work at all. HA!

No dice at Home Depot. I have a good shot at a $100 dollar chest freezer, 5 cf. That and a picnic setup and I get going very easily. That is the plan as of 2:10.

***by the way, not being argumentative, just trying to talk this out and see if I got it right*** He has the beer in the carboy now. He added the primer sugar. The hydrometer should read 1.02 or something like that. If he waits 2 days, it should go to 1.018 or something like that. If he...

By taking a reading today, wouldn't that give him a benchmark to know when the priming sugar fermented out?

My instinct, which isn't worth much because I haven't done this, is to take a hydrometer reading now, wait a week, take another. If the reading is the same, move add your priming sugar as you would normally and bottle. If not the same, wait a week. As I said, I am guessing.

I prefer to bring my beer in grails.

Thank you. That was exactly the answer I was looking for. Any recommendation on what to use or just one of the ebay picnic tap setups to start?

I am going to look at that in about 2 hours. If it makes sense, I am going to go for it. Plus, 10% discount for military members and veterans. Thanks Home Depot.

I just got a line on a $100 dollar chest freezer. 5.1 cf. If that works out, I think I will be pretty damn happy. Then I will make the investment for the freezer conversion. I am still going to run over to home depot and see if there is a clearance kegerator. Who knows...may get lucky.
