Question for both of you then. If I am going to lager in a keg - post secondary- should I carbonate when I put it in the keg or should I carbonate when I am more so ready to hook the beer up to serve?

I have my water carbonated in like an hour. I just pick up and shake or rock on the carpet, keep it hooked up at 30 psi for an hour. Make sure everything is cold.

Grand Rapids? Spent a month there one weekend. lol Welcome!

What would this look like in a schedule?

I have always left my CO2 tank inside my kegerator. Is that bad? Should it be at room temperature?

Is there a way I can bottle from my keg without the beer being oxidized?

All my bottles were from beer me and my friends drank. Just soak them to get the labels off and make sure they're not twists. Grolsh is a good option if you want flip top bottles and like Kolsh.

Hey everyone, I have a Danby Magic Fire Kegerator that I am currently using to Lager a beer. I have this plugged into a temp controlled power outlet which works fine. The only problem is everytime the kegerator is plugged in it beeps so that means every time it kicks back on with temp control it...

Gotcha, yeah I actually went with WLP940 because I believe the Mexican Lager yeast is more similar to the American Lager yeast than the SF Lager yeast.

Smarttttttttt -- thanks!

Will there be a big difference in bitter flavor then if I heat it back up just to add the DME for a boost?

Question for you - when did you test your OG gravity? If I test after I've done my boil and it has cooled can I still heat it back up and add DME?

That's awesome - I would love to try your latest batch with 20 years of perfecting behind it!

So I just did a test at 2 gallons for 30 minutes. I boiled off a quarter of a gallon. So it looks like I will be at .5 gallon for a 60 minute boil with my set up.

I found this same Kegerator on FB market place for $70 - I love it and I use it to lager too! This works for a loose idea. https://www.homebrewing.org/assets/images/PDF/economykeggingsystem.pdf

I have been home brewing for about a year now. I have done one all grain batch, but I am getting back into. I have already participated in several threads and have received so much useful information! I hope I am not posting to much haha. But yeah looking to learn a lot and share what I know as...

I believe I need to make a Yeast starter for an octoberfest I am brewing. I see it is pretty simple using dme or Proper Starter, but how do I know how much is to much for a 5 gallon batch? (Planning on using WLP 820)

What is your preferred software?

I will definitely update everyone on how this brew turns out after I try it- along with my notes.

I have been wanting to recreate an old beer from the Oshkosh area that would be fun for my family to drink and reminisce back to the day it was a household beer. I found the following recipe on a blog site (props to whoever shared this: The Story of Chief Oshkosh Beer and How to Brew It) I was...
