Thanks for the suggestions and ideas, I looked at the video and found it helpful. I actually have the book from John Palmer and found it to be a little vague at times but it defiantly did help to open back up to the bottling chapter to reinforce what I had to do. I ended up bottling 7 and I...

So back on Feb 15 I made my first beer that was a Kolsch, it has been sitting in a quiet cold corner since. I wanted to take it to the next step but Im a little confused. I have this bag of sugar that came with the kit. What do I do with it? The instructions were so poor its not funny...

I sent you a PM too, if still available Ill take it… Email me direct at [email protected] Thanks Mike

I just can't stabilize this thing where I need it, its either at 30 degrees or 50 degrees which is off really. The basement where it is is a constant 55 degrees. Any ideas? I adjusted the set screw a few times, gave it a day in between making changes. I have dialed up and down to no avail…Im...

Wow what GREAT items, Reply me in please… :)

Malfet THANKS for the GREAT link there!!! A sip here or there will not hurt anyone. My one Daughter loves tasting my different beers. The younger one doesn't like the smell or taste of beer at all. I have great memories of my Grandfather when I was 10 or so. I would be helping him out in...

Red dog thanks for the info…very helpful. Rwinzing its one tank with 75% Nitro and 25% CO2 So when I got to this place to buy that tank I realize that a 20 pound nitro tank is MUCH smaller than a 20 pound CO2 tank. Yes it was aluminum and very nice but kind of small I thought, so I...

Wow that's genius! Thanks for the link. I'm going to go pick up the tank Friday and try to make one myself...

I found a guy in Danbury Ct that has Corny kegs and CO2 tanks for sale. Most of the CO2 tanks were out of cert BUT he will fill it for you there. All reasonably priced. I don't think he would ship them though...

Thanks for the info... I found a gut today that sells welding supplies and he has a 20 pound aluminum tank for $106, he said it includes the first fill up of Nitrogen and CO2 free. I thought that sounded reasonable. So I would need a regulator and the tap. I saw on one of the web sites...

Hey guys. I am a newbie and I have some questions about a Nitrogen gas mix. I have only brewed one so far (Kolsch) and I plan on kegging it when completed. I have my corny kegs regulator and co2 ready to go. I just ordered a Cream Ale for the next one. My local bar has the cream ale on nitrogen...

Thanks Jrems, will you be there?

Yes…Target 30 quart tamale steamer for $21…can't beat that!

I picked up a six pack last weekend here in NY and I thought it was amazing! I will definatley pick up more...

Captain Lawrence in Elmsford NY "NEW" location just opened last month. NO shortage of samples too. I plan on doing Dogfish this spring and hope to do Brooklyn brewery soon.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I just placed an order through Northern and added on some ball lock parts and some keg lube. I can't wait to try this beer that's fermenting...

I like that idea of dumping the first pint if full of sediment, THANKS! So the lube does not make anything go flat then…it really didn't make much sense when this guy was telling me it will go flat anyway.

Hey all, I have not kegged my first batch yet but I am in the process of getting everything ready to go. Can anyone tell me about Keg Lube? I have heard from some that it kills the head on the beer, is this true? I wouldn't think so, BUT I wanted to ask some of you all that have...

Nice, do you guys go to the meetings for the Home brewers at Capt Lawrence? If so how are they and what do they do? I was thinking about stopping in to see...

Kahn, Thanks for the suggestion. I think you were spot on, I just checked it and it was at 12 degrees. I just turned it 2 1/2 full revolutions. Ill give it 6-8 hours and recheck. Last November this freezer jumped up to 35 degrees and defrosted everything inside on me. So over the Holidays...
