Ok so it sounds like I need to let my keg at carbonation pressure and if I'm getting nothing but foam when I pour I'll need to adjust my beer line. Thanks for the info!

I have read a few threads on here dealing with beer line length and how to properly carbonate. I'm curious for some feedback on the method I'm using. When I keg I set my pressure to the proper psi for the type of beer I have. Once it has reached proper carbonation I back off the pressure to...

I have brewed plenty of batches on an electric coil range when I use to live in an apartment and have had good success. I would boil 3 gallons of wort and top off with water to make 5 gallons. They were all extract brews though, never tried an all grain in the apartment. I know there is talk...

Is that $40 competition at the PA Ren Faire by chance? Mount hope brewery?

I'll take a peek, I personally dislike ebay. Thanks for the help though.

I'll check my local distributor but I find it hard to believe nobody on here has done this before.... ....or they haven't read this thread yet....

Thats the beauty of Cash transactions, as long as they don't need personal information. I honestly never bought a keg of beer, always cases or 6-packs.

Bottling, I know guys that have wanted to give up the hobby because they had the craps of bottling everytime. As for me I'm stuck for life, best hobby ever!

If this question has already been asked I appologize but I didn't find it when doing a search. Where can I get empty commercial 1/2 kegs? I would be interested in about 6 of them to make my own home brewery. Can you purchase emptys from the local beer distributor/store or would it be best...

Awesome, sounds good thanks for the tips. I'll have to give that a try with my next brew.

Thanks for the tips... today I had an idea, what if I use a deep fryer hand strainer. The thing you use to pull homemade french fries out of hot oil. Not sure of the correct name. If I use that device sanitized of course and take out the whole hops right at flame out before I chill my wort...

I have been brewing for over a year and a half now but still consider myself a beginner. A lot of my early brews I used hop pellets and threw them into muslin bags and pulled them at the end of the boil. Recently I started using whole hops and have been straining my beer when i pour into my...

That is probably the best advice!

When you bought the ingredients for your beer did you get priming sugar? If so how much did you get? I know it is probably a sin but I never have weighed my sugar for batch priming. I plan on getting a scale but in the meantime I use 1 oz per 1 gallon, so 5 oz for your 5 gallon batch. My...

I have been brewing for a little over a year now. I first experienced homebrewing overseas while playing Army and have been hooked ever since. Plans for this weekend are to get a little crazy and try my hand at a Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Stout. I have had success with a Chocolate...

Careful when throwing around the term "grounding wire". The green wire with the 120V system is most likely the "bonding wire" or "equipment grounding wire". If you trace the green wire from your outlets back to your distribution panel they should tie into the neutral bus. From there the...

A couple months ago I brewed a Chocolate Hazlenut Oatmeal Stout (CHOS) and used Hazlenut extract. I was unsure how much to use in my brew and exactly when to add. I decided to only do a primary fermentation and let the beer finish before adding the extract. At about 10 days I pitched 1oz. of...
