    Debating on a refractometer....

    36 hours into first keg (questions)

    This is the key! I can see trying to quick carb a keg if you need it fast but you can not rush fermentation. 6 weeks for most beers (for me), some longer. My beer is always clear and carbonated. That is also a reason that some people get turned off by homebrew. They try something that...

    Rock Hill / Ft. Mill Homebrewers

    Canyonbrewer: I think that might work for me. My son is moving up here from Texas that weekend but I'm not sure when he'll be here. I'll know in a week or so. If I can make it I don't think you'll have any problem with either me or Jason splitting the cost. I'm hoping we can get more...

    Going all-grain on a budget.

    My first AG batch was with a cooler Mash Tun and an 8 gallon kettle. I heated my strike water and while I was mashing I heated my sparge water and then boiled in the same pot I heated my water in. You should already have everything else you do extract with. Good luck!

    My $15 solution to putting a keggle on top of my SP10

    I did this yesterday with BassBeer's idea of slotted steel. $15 total at Lowes. It worked great and it was easy. Took me about 15 minutes. Thanks for the ideas, guys!
