Well, I had a friend give a free Miller keg. I have depresserized and removed the dip tube and started cleaning. What are some of the next steps that I need to take?

Besides rolling in the yard, my wife would probably have pissed herself also!

Mine are about 2-3 inches deep. My second year Cascades are already 12" and it was in the 30's this morning here.

The other thing that you may want to check is when you add your LME/DME is it fully dissolved with the heat removed from the bottom of your pot. This may add to your color and give an off flavor if you are burning it to the bottom of your pot.

I would probably use a london ale yeast for this. It does not sound to bad though.

Well, at least your not mopping your ceiling yet. Just wait until that happens.

I have even been banned from making yeast starters in the house. All brewing takes place in the garage, and then she still complains......then I RDWHAHB!

I grew up on the corner of Burton and Breton. Now living a little ways away. Welcome to the site and good luck on your first batch. In-laws live in Rockford.

Follow this link to see what I use for a blow off tube. Purchased @ LHBS.:) https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/gallery/data/1/medium/DSC041511.JPG

Tygone is 3/4" ID and the rest is 3/4" PVC not glued.

This is what I use for a blow off tube. The tygone tube is 3/4 id. with 3/4" pvc just stuck together, not glued. Bought @ my LHBS.

There is a blow off tube that works rather well. It is made from 3/4" PVC tubing and then a small piece of Tygon that fits in the bottle, kinda looks like a hangmans pole. The other suggestion is to get a bigger bottle or bucket.

Good question, I just brewed one on Sunday and added 1lb @ 60 for the boil.

I third the paint strainer bags or second the filter media bags from a pet store. If you run them through the dishwasher on the top shelf they will clean up pretty well.

Brewing a Honey Porter while it is snowing!

Got pulled over for 125 in a 55 when I was in High School. The State trooper that pulled me over was the father of my classmate sitting in the front seat. Got a ticket for $35.00 and 1 point, could have gone to jail...

How much of the beer did you drink prior to putting it in the bottles???? Happy New Year!

The reason behind the dark area is so you do not skunk the beer, your hops are the reason a beer would skunk, they react to light. As for temp, I did mine at about 70 and it turned out great.
