I have a Kegco mini regulator similar to the one pictured here that uses 74g CO2 cartridges. Do you know where I could buy an adapter to use Sodastream canisters? I found one at Amazon but several people said the gasket blew after a few uses. Thanks.

I LOVE this article! Thanks for posting it. I have saved it and will get a lot of use out of it. One thing really bugs me though, and that is that herbaceous is in the floral aroma section and not the herb section. WTF! Herbaceous literally means relating to herbs. So to me, herbaceous, dired...

LMAO! This is the best comment I've seen on here in months!

LMAO! I loved that. This reminds me of something I said in a homebrewing Facebook group. A guy asked if it would be too weird to use Vienna Malt in a Pale Ale. I replied, "You are asking if using an actual brewing malt would be weird when people are mashing kid's cereal? WTF!"

The absolute beauty of home brewing is....You do you! Nobody else's opinion of your beer matters. I looked at someone who posted about brewing a jalapeno strawberry Kolsch and was grossed out at first but then thought, this is EXACTLY why we home brew. I did the same things that you posted above...

I'm going to brew my first lager this week, an International Pale Lager. Probably mid-week actually. I'm off of work and can spend all day if I want. I'm so busy on weekends that I usually brew during the week in the evenings after work. So, now I can finally take my time.

I think it depends on your situation. For me, I don't think it would make sense to buy in bulk. I only brew about 6 batches a year and they're all radically different styles of beer. I might not use the same specialty grain again for another couple years in some cases. On the other hand, if...

I was hoping to be brewing my first all-grain Ordinary Bitter but the USPS lost my shipment of ingredients. Thankfully BrewHardware is going to replace my order so now I'll have to wait until next weekend.

I have a small collection of several types of beer glasses each for different styles of beer. The tulip glasses were a Christmas present and the rest I got from second hand stores for about $2 each.

For what it's worth, PET plastic carboys are made out of a harder material than the HDPE plastic buckets and thus a bit more scratch resistant. However, I have had a HDPE bottling bucket for over 30 years and no scratches so far. The beer is only in there for 15 minutes or so at a time, but no...

I’m brewing an Irish Dry Stout. I love having that on tap going into fall.

I waiting for my shipment from RiteBrew. It is for a Belgian Witbier Session - 4% ABV with elements from both the Belgian & American versions so I’m calling it Wit Bastard.

This is probably an educated guess too. Otherwise, I have no idea how they would know. It’s a proprietary blend. But this is the most detailed thing I’ve seen on Amber DME contents. Malt Profiles

Sparkling Amber DME – 10°L (Breiss) 1.043 10 A proprietary blend of base (90%), Munich 10L (5%), and Caramel 60L (5%) malts. Amber color and malty flavor with caramelly overtones. - I found this info last year when making an Oktoberfest batch. I have since switched to a partial mash when using...

Just for fun I looked up brewing with potatoes - Brewing with Potatoes - Brew Your Own . I don’t think I’ll be trying that anytime soon. But, maybe others have had good luck with that. I would make a joke about salad beer but that’s probably already a thing somewhere.

So far, I've found lots of results for, "Crystal" and from what I've seen, I'll drink to that no matter what you call it. 😂

You have inspired me to further my research. I will exhaustively search Playboy for articles on Schwarzbier history (at least that's what I'll tell my wife when she asks what I'm doing). You never know what information might be hiding in the details of those photos, so I'll have to look very...

Probably because of the way Google works. It will send me different information than it will you because of where we live. Even just within the United States, Google will put certain news stories higher in your search results depending on where you live.

Fair enough, but literally everywhere I tried to look it up said that this style of beer has archeological evidence dating back to 800 BC. I typically don't accept something until I find it in many sources, which I did and have pasted below. Maybe you should contact these guys and set them...

I just added 1/2 tablet of Whirlfloc and got a good cold break. It's clear without any cold crash or cold conditioning. I have a Pale Ale that took 2-3 weeks in the fridge to drop clear. This is clear in the bottles at room temperature. BTW - I have a small Torpedo keg and the photo is from the...
