A few guys I know in Canada use this place. http://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/

There is a closed brewery in Southfield MI called Copper Canyon. It looks like the equipment is still in there. Has been closed for several years now. May be worth looking into.

A free loyalty rewards program is what is offered at a couple homebrew shops I spend the most with. One is extremely local (i live on the same road) the other is 45 -60 minutes away and I buy online from them most of the time. Shipping if in the great lakes area is cheap and costs me less than...

You can easily add the lactose when you bottle or keg. In fact some prefer to add then vs boil. Which works better is likely like all brewing processes we use....just a matter of personal preference :)

Your beer will be fine. Let it sit for a week or 3. Some yeast strains work faster than others and some floc better than others. If still cloudy after a few weeks then cold crash it for a day or 2 if u can.

Airlock activity is a good sign of fermentation it is not what you should use to determine if your beer is finished. Seals leak. When a lid seal leaks sometimes you see no activity. The lack of activity does not mean fermentation is not taking place. Take a gravity reading a couple days in a row...

Adventures is great. Best place on the net to buy kegs new or used. Lucky to have them within driving distance :)

Brew more malty lagers.

Not Herpes :rockin: Got a nice stainless steel growler that also has a separate lid with picnic tap and co2 input for serving and a LHBS gift card.

You may have not only captured yeast you may have captured some bacteria :D Do a small one gallon batch to start with and only use equipment you do not mind infecting.

I too started with the charlie P zap zap bucket set up to sparge. I have also tried BIAB and mashing in a cooler tun. The cooler tun is my preferred method. Holds temp better than mashing in a pot for the bucket and BIAB methods and does not require lifting a heavy grain bag. I also get better...

I feel ya. In the same boat. Have not brewed since teach a friend to brew day. Have to brew sooooon.

I have used the brewers best extract. It comes in a 4oz bottle. Dump the whole bottle in. :)

You should take a look at one of these. Will keep the freezer plenty warm when plugged into your controller. https://www.chewy.com/flukers-ceramic-reptile-heat-emitter/dp/129150?utm_source=shopzilla&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Fluker%27s&utm_campaign=N

I add coco powder right to my mash for an oatmeal chocolate stout I brew a couple times a year. Another option is to use chocolate extract and add when kegging or bottling.

If you want to use up some nugget make a dipa with all nugget. It will come out tasty. Troegs brewing company makes one called nugget nectar that is outstanding.

nice share. "That tastes like rape" lmao

We have a box of polished rocks and I can toss in some assorted hops :)

My favorite way to extract lots of hop flavor n aroma is to do a hop stand. Add more hops at the end of the boil and let your brew sit for 20-30 minutes before you chill.

No need to use a secondary to add the chocolate extract. Add it to your sanitized keg and rack on top of it or if bottling, add to the bottling bucket with your priming sugar.
