I transferred it last night and actually some of them were carbed! But whatever. Im sure It will be fine.

There's a brewery in downtown Ogden, UT that makes Horrible beer. No one knows the difference in beer-deprived Utah though. We returned our pitcher and stopprd drinking!

No most of the time I don't even know what recipe im going to do until I decide to start heating the mash water. I have a vague idea, look at my inventory and yeast and start measuring and grinding. I love to fly by the seat of my pants. And I just got a new pair.

Yeah, I'm out of beer! The first kegged beer, a pale ale, went faster than I could have imagined. and the 3 that Ive made in the meantime I want to age a little longer. It just proved to me how much I need a "House IPA" to always have on hand! I'll keep the splashing down and I think it will...

Ive never considered such a thing! I really just want to put this beer in a keg since I know it is aged and taste great uncarbonated. It will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Yeah im totally going to do it right now, regardless, I just wanted some imput on the oxidation effects. Was thinking about doing the bottle to bucket to keg transfer too.

well I made it in december i think, then left it in secondary while I was travelling. After 2-3 months this March, I bottled it. Since I thought the yeast would be mostly cashed out, I rehydreated a muntons packet and split it between the two batches I was bottling at the time as well as the...

I have a batch of bottled porter that didn't carbonate, can I dump them into a keg for distribution? Will the oxidation of splishing and splashing from bottle to keg cause any harm? its a Porter I made in December 07. Im just getting started kegging.

I used it for an Altbier last year, but didn't remember a bad smell. Ibet it has started bubbling by now. I've had over 24 hour lag time if I don't make a starter. Last week I harvested, washed, and pitched yeast from the secondary. It took over 24 hours to start, but once it got going...

Thanks for the replies. So would the computer fan from an old laptop be sufficient? Im not much with electronic motorized tinkering. I do know that my kitchen heats up to sometimes 90 degrees in the summer. (No AC and lots of large windows) So it will have to insulate well. Still may...

That was the question, if you could do it during "active" vigorous fermentation. Like 2 or 3 days into it.

I just got a Sanyo 4912 and kegging setup is on the way. I would like to convert it with tower later this year. The Sanyo fits perfectly underneath my 4 foot bar. If I want to leave it in this space, a tower will not fit on top. I would like to put a tower on top of the bar instead, but...

Couldn't a brewer just take a sample (with a thief) from an actively fermenting primary and put it straight into a fresh batch? It seems to me that there would be plenty of active yeast to start a new batch. This occurred to me as a possible option since I have time to brew a few times a week...

Well its a beautiful deep red color and bubbling away on a Northwest Ale yeast cake. It taste great at 1.040. Thanks so much for the advice.

Sure buddy, You should use 1 oz nugget with 3 oz freshies for bittering. then stagger 5-6 oz fresh hops in throughout the last 5 minutes for aroma. I am curious how the oatmeal will turn out. Let me know.

Decided to harvest my still green but very large hops since I must leave for the next few months. The mash is in and Im brewing on a total whim. Used the rest of my 2 row and, well here it is (mashing as I type). 8 lbs 2 row 1 lb crystal 60 1 lb Crystal 40 .5 lb nut brown .5 old...

I also just bought the barley crusher and used it at the factory setting. I'd also be curious of what setting would be optimal to max efficiency. I started my first few AGs fly sparging, then started batching. Dude, maybe I'll switch back to the fly again. I haven't even calculated my...

I actually just found a shine hookup out here. He says some Tennessee boys tell him that his is better. Yeah enough of this "Tubby Ball" and unrankedness. Is it his recruiting skills? Remeber the days of Mashburn, Walker, Mercer,...and... winning Championships. Tubby aint got it
