    Pasteurizing whole soda keg?

    It's not really necessary to pasteurize a keg it you have it in a fridge. I recently kegged another batch of cider and added 4 cans of frozen apple juice to it, stuck it in the fridge and there has been zero additional fermentation. How am I sure? Two days later, I added 5lbs of CO2 to tap...

    Apple juice sugar and yeast

    You can double your quantity for only $4.35 more by shopping on Amazon. $10 for 2lbs is a little steep. Look on Amazon for either Corn Sugar, Dextrose, or Priming Sugar. Not sure how much you want to buy and store. A quick search shows a number of different suppliers, one of them offering...

    Draft Tower Concept

    This is a really cool idea.... This is highly recommended. In addition, as for the faucet shanks, they do have short ones, like used in regular towers. That is what I would use rather than the longer ones. However, all that being said, I really don't know how you will be able to tighten...

    Fruit Beer Lemon-Lime Hefe Weizen

    Slim - Well I tried adding another vial of Hefe yeast from a different local source (it came from their refrig). I checked the best by date and it was well within... I gave it another starter, put it in and waited another week and there still was no movement off the 1.018-1.020 Gravity. So...

    Fruit Beer Lemon-Lime Hefe Weizen

    Hmm, I brewed up the extract version of this recipe to the "T" following the recommendations on Fri May 3rd... OG was 1.052. Even did a starter for the liquid yeast. Fermented like crazy for the first 4-5 days. Had to put a blowoff tube in. After the first 5 days, put an "S" bubbler in...

    packaging 55lbs of DME

    I just bought 50# of Breiss myself for $140 locally, and plan to vacuum seal in 1, 2, and 5 lb bags. I didn't buy from here, but LabelPeelers has Light, Amber, Dark, Pilsen or Wheat Malt. 50# of Breiss for $145.93 or 55# of Muntons for $172.62. Not sure what shipping would be for you, but...

    propane ran out mid boil, best thing that ever happened!!!

    ^This means too much air. You have a yellow/orange flame, correct? You don't want that for boiling water. Blue flame is the hottest and will heat your water the fastest. Try leaning it down and watch how much faster you get water to boil. Be careful though once you have wort. If it is a...

    propane ran out mid boil, best thing that ever happened!!!

    Have you made sure to use your air control valve to lean down the flame? You should have an absolute blue flame with very little to no yellow. This could be the cause of your extended time to get to boil. I get 3 gallons to boil in ~15 min.

    Sorry Westo2, but I disagree with your rationale... First this is a vendor showcase. Most other companies post an expiry date if it is a temporary deal. On top of that, in the very first post, Joshua from KegConnection states: In addition, in Post #2, Joshua states: Based on this...

    How many BTU's need to boil 3 gallons?

    This Walmart Turkey Fryer works well. Comes with Burner, regulator, hose and a 30 qt alum pot. My local Walmart had it in stock, even though it says out of stock online. Check the ship to store or local store inventory checker. I used it for my 3 gal extract brews. Easy to bring to temp...
