Well thanks for the info! Sounds like u just made my life THAT much easier!

After you have bottled, did u let your bottles warm back up to room temp? I want to bottle, but then store the bottles in the basement so they don't have to take up room till Christmas...

I was jw if I need to do anything to kill or suppress the yeast if I am going to bottle from the keg? I realize that the yeast left in suspension will become active again as the beer warms back up, and I know if fermentation is completely finished before I keg I should be ok, I just want to take...

Another reason I am asking (and why I posted this in the yeast section) is because I am looking to bottle some of my beer out of the kegs to give away as gifts. I was wondering what I should do or add to my beer after fermentation to kill or slow down the yeast so when I bottle out of the keg...

I brewed a raspberry wheat all grain kit from Austin home brew. They give u a little 2 oz bottle of raspberry flavored extract toads right before bottling. I just got into kegging so this will b my 3rd batch into the keg. The instructions say to add the flavoring into the bottling bucket. Since...

I decided to just go with a corona mill from discount Tommy's. figured for the price, might as well give it a shot and go from there I guess... Hopefully the one I get fits together good enough to function... Heard some scary stories...

I am looking for a mill that will crack my grain for brewing, but I want it to also be able to grind wheat into homemade flour. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions? I know it will probably b kinda expensive, but I'm going half and half in on the price with a friend who want to grind...

Any suggestions? I have tried soaking in a baking soda and water solution and that didnt help at all. Soaking in oxyclean right now... Doubt it will help... Any other thought or ideas... Other than switching my tubing type? Thanks! :)

Well that makes me feel a little better. I have brewed probably 10 batches now and have not lost one to infection so I want to keep up my record, but if this is just how the beer is supposed to taste... Yikes...

Hello, 5 weeks ago I brewed the honey wheat extract kit from Austin homebrew. It is currently in the keg, ( only my second time ever kegging, first was the Austin homebrew fat tire clone that I brewed three days prior to the honey wheat and it tastes awesome!) but it has kind of a funky taste...

So if I wanted to go with the cheap route right now, would it be "safe" and would it leave a taste in the wort if all I was using the tubing for was draining out of the mash tun into the kettle? Is any vinyl tubing I find ok? Menards?

I know silicone is the best, but I have just bought a 3 kegging system, cooler mashtun parts, and an immersion cooler, so if I could save a little $ by using vinyl I will... But when I go to menards and look at their tubing none of it says it is lead free...

I am looking for tubing to go from my cooler mash tun into the kettle. I was wondering what type of tubing I need to use? Is vinyl ok? Does it produce any off flavors?

Thanks for all of the comments and replies! I hope I can put something together from all of these options!

That's is perfect! Thank u so much!!!

Ok, I'm sorry I know this is probably annoying, but I want to build a mashtun out of a cooler, and I saw a post that had all the parts listed out a few days ago but I can't find it anywhere! Can anyone show me a link?!? Thanks!

Hahaha, well hopefully it's not an issue. I just know getting across is the easy part, it's getting back in that sucks... Damn boarder patrol think they have to b hard asses! Lol. I wish u luck, and keep me posted! I would love to take a keg up fishing with me! :D

Did u check with the U.S customs? I know when we go to Canada fishing, there r things that we can take into Canada, but cannot bring back into the U.S...

Good I'm glad to hear that it won't affect the hops... It does have steeping grains, will it affect that part at all?

I just received my fat tire clone from Austin homebrew and I am looking to brew it later this afternoon. I got the extract kit bc I am just not super comfortable with all grain yet... So after opening up the box and reading the instructions provided, I realize that the instructions are made for...
