Yeah, bought all the materials from McMaster Carr. I thought about once the keggles were full that it would probably be more stable, but just got the thing built, so I havent tried it yet. With 2 youngins' though, I want to make sure my **** is wired tight before I fire the burners.

I built this thing according to Sam's specifications, including casters. Any one have any problems with this thing beign slightly unstable? It is all square and level, but when the casters are all pointed backwards and I push on the middle of the front rail, it wants to tip over. not sure I...

Not sure if you have a garage or someplace like that, but I did lagers in that for awhile. Swamp bucket and changed ice bottles pretty regularly. JZ's schwartcbier that came out of that made it to the second round of the NHC.

--looks like Bad Coffee was first--

I did a Gordon Clone that called for it. Didnt have any and used a mix of 120, 40, and 20. This was for the darker Carastan. I dont think it was anything like the origional Gordon. Not sure if it was pilot error or if the mix I used was wrong. I had a can for comparision and while a good...

Just did Jamils O-Fest. Brewed on 27 July. Kegged 14 Aug. Been sneaking samples since Saturday and tastes pretty damn good. This was with a huge yeast pitch curtisy of a local brewery. With the time now though, you might want to do a Moktoberfest with an ale yeast

You can get clear beer without Irish Moss. I also had forgotten to pick it up one day and needed to brew. It was an IPA, also did a Pale Ale the next week with out it. Looked like the pictures from the basic brewing folks. Just did a promary and then crash cooled it after a week and a...

the one I did with the concentrate took first place in fruit beers at The Ohio State Fair. One judge at he BOS judging table said it tasted like OJ and the other said it tasted like a chick beer. I know both of them and told them "yup, I put concentrate in there and yup made it for my wife for...

just add a can of frozen orange juice concentrate to the keg. I did that for a wheat beer for the wife after having our 2nd baby. Never much liked fruit beers, but this beer was her's so what the heck. Came out really good actually. hopefully you keg, if not than please ignore this advice!

Beer and sweat in Cincy it's 1 keg to enter and $20 bones unless you judge/ steward. Of course then everyone gets to drink everyone elses beer and its a huge friggin' awsome party that will leave you hurting.

I just tried to do my first whirlpool. Used pellet hops with no sock. Used my homemade hop taco with pickup tube right in the center of the keg. Got an ok whirlpool until the pickup tube and screen got so blocked with hop crap it would only pump a trickle. If I do that again, I will say...

wy 1469 Timothy Taylor yeast is awsome if you have some.

stab in the dark.. did they warm up a bit before you smell them? None of my hops (pellets) have much smell when I take them out of the freezer at first

I hear ya. My wife is due Monday. Cant come soon enough. I brewed up a steam beer for our first, and for the second she wants a honey beer. I saw this and she though it was perfect. did 2.5 gallons with orange, and 2.5 with orange-pineapple juice...

Did you check this with a hydro as well Brutus? I know you have to have the begining brix measurement and put that into a calculation to get the true fg from a refract.

yup I do it all the time. Checked luggage only though. It'll get tossed if they find it on your carry on

I am actually brewing up this recipe tomorrow for the wife. Never wanted to do a fruit beer, but hell, she's been carrying a kid around for almost 9 months now, so what the hell. Nvere had it, but the recipe comes from a friend of Denny Conn's so it should be good...

man, there are some actually nice beers there. Pour 24 in Ny, Ny has some good ones I cant get back in Ohio. Down in the old strip there are 2 places to get good brewpub brews. Main Street Brewery has some good stuff and had a Black IPAish beer for 3 bucks for s 22. Also Chicago Brewing in...
