I'm interested in making a two hearted clone. I was going to buy a 6pk of bells pale ale and save the yeast from each bottle. Is there a time limit as far as saving the yeast and then using it? Assuming I keep it in the refrigerator?

do you have a photo of the trim?

Just brewed this the weekend before last. Will be kegging it Sunday to hopefully be ready for Thanksgiving. I've never kegged before. What pressure should I set for the CO2? By the way, the photo below is from last night. This is after a day of gelatin. Clear and tastes good.

I brewed this yesterday. 1 oz of crystal & 1/2 oz of willamette. I could taste the hops just out of the fermenter.

i was looking at the Cream of 3 Crops recipe. That looks like the way to go with the crowd I'll have. It should be a step up from Natural Light!

i had planned on force carbonating

where do you get flaked corn? Is that corn flakes on the cereal aisle or is that something a LHBS would carry?

so i've not kegged before and this will be my first. Nov 3rd to Nov 17th is 2 weeks to ferment. Will a beer carbonate in 5 days to be ready?

November 3 is "Teach a friend to brew day". I'd like to brew a beer that will be ready by Thanksgiving and will appeal to the masses. We are hosting Thanksgiving @ our house and I'd like to offer some of my homebrew. I'll be kegging the beer. Any suggestions on a recipe or style?

I just purchased a counterflow chiller used a few days ago. Since I have no idea what's inside or if it was cleaned after the last use, what's a good way of cleaning the gunk out of it? Any special chemicals/solutions? Thanks

I just bought a Danby Kegerator off of Craigslist (for $50! :rockin:). It has a single tap handle. Is there a way to make it 2 taps? Any kind of conversion kit? Thanks.

here's what I woke up to this morning. I guess the yeast I pitched is taking a foothold... hopefully they'll drive back the invading enemy yeast :rockin:

so we decided to brew at the last minute. I made a Scottish ale wee heavy which required a large starter. I brewed Sunday and put it in my fermentation chamber. I started my yeast starter and pitched it today (Wednesday). Before I pitched it, I noticed that my fermenter was bubbling away...

They are at around 76. I do see sediment in the bottom. And I've only been chilling for a day before sampling one. I guess I should put in the fridge for a week and try them.

It's been about 5 weeks. They are both low alcohol beers. I'm planning on waiting but I'm trying to figure out my options just in case. I'd hate to just dump a bunch of beer without trying everything first.

I've got a few beers that never carbed properly. These were bottle conditioned. I'm getting a keg setup at the end of the month. Can I dump all of the bottles in a keg and force carb it?

I'm looking to put together my kegging equipment. I want to get a double regulator so I can have 2 different pressures. Anyways, which is recommended (or not recommended)? I was looking at this one.... Taprite T752HP. Any thoughts on it?

that 25 gallon pot looks humongous!

I've been shopping around the beer equipment stores for a kegging system. Is it better to by one of the starter packages (keg, co2 tank and regulator) or buy the pieces individually? I'd like to stay at $200 or less which may be an issue. I was reading some of the reviews on the basic...

I've not kegged before but was thinking about getting into it. I was just reading over at ebrew ( http://www.ebrew.com/primarynews/intro_keg_system.htm ) that the carb level is generally lower than bottled beer. Is that true? I thought with a keg you could carb any level you want. I'm thinking...
