Guys, I got three 2.5 gallon corney kegs and I need to get Lids, locks, and poppets....I have already found the lids and waiting on them to get here. I have not found the locks and poppets.... The kegs are from Germany and Brand is AEB... Does anyone know of a good and reputable place where I...

I bought a converted 15gl keg from another brewer here in San Antonio. I found it on cragslist one day and called him up and picked it up. Paid 45 bucks for it. It is worth the cash. I am going to convert another keg once I pick one up. It doesn't look like it is hard to convert. Just have to...

I use a Rubbermaid 5 Gallon water cooler (same as the Gott). I has worked great for Partial Mash and full AG brewing. I had about 9 pounds of grain in the 5 gal cooler once. I say go for it. It should work for you. Just remember that with this joyous hobby once you brew a full AG and you really...

I agree with the consensus about the cleaning and soaking. I used oxiclean and it seems to work great and it rinses off good also. You definitely want to change o-rings for the simple reason of sanitation, there relatively cheap and worth the investment. :p Bill

1.25 and 1.33 quarts of h2o per lb of grain is very close either way. I would venture to say go a little lower with the 1.25 q p/lb, this way you dont ever go over with to much water if your doing a 5 gal batch. I say this because I was brewing a beer with a friend and he kept going little over...

You know my impatience has taken a good bite. I went to the lake with my kids today and got home about thirty minutes ago. We'll I walked into the MAN ROOM andlooked at my new Mil Ale and should of guessd it....................I have Krausen. Looks like fermentation has begun..... Guess I...

Thanks for the post, we'll see what happens from here. I'll give it the time. Like I said usually I get ferm quick this situation might be because of the type of beer being made and the short duration of the fermentation. We'll see Bill :drunk:

Has anyone every made a Mild Ale?? I made one yesterday, cooled it and all, and then pitched the yeast @72. It was about 5 o'clock when I pitched the yeast. It is now 910 or so and no activity yet. Has this happened to anyone?? I usually get action within 10 hours of pitching. Hope I didnt screw...
