I've been kegging my beer for over 2 years and this morning I woke up after putting a new beer on to carbonate 2 nights ago the tank says its almost on 0. I recently started putting the c02 tank inside the fridge with the kegs and the amt in the bottle drops when its cold obviously but nothing...

Yeah I noticed that somewhat with this, where the cranberry flavor in it really isnt strong. But considering the ration to apple juice its not hard to see why... 10:1 ratio of apple to cranberry. I'd like to try this recipe small scale to see how it turns out. Also wondering how much...

Saw this recipe in BYO a few months back thought it would be great for the fall and holidays. Decided to scale it by 5 so i would have a full keg of it. Problem is that this looks nothing like the one gal recipe and I don't really taste the cranberry or spice much there is some. Can anyone...

I know they smelled like Hallertau when we picking them and drying. have about 4 or 5 oz dried. They come from SW PA which is a really big PA Dutch/German area especially when you think about a plant that is over 100 years... I want to believe they are German. I dont have any open now to...

So I got permission to pick some hops that have been growing at a historical society that came from an old farm for the past 100 years a month or so ago... very well established and ton of hops. Almost certain they are "noble" using this term loosely of course. Starting to think of the...

Looking at doing some apple juice cider, typically do apple cider... so what brands are ok that people have used? Need to get 100% apple juice obviously and free of anything that will hurt my yeast or inhibit growth... any list anywhere that someone can point me to to save time?:mug:

wyeast 4766 cider yeast

Made cider last year that came unpasteurized and it was pretty tasty but got pretty tart in the end. I have some cider going now that's down to 1.020 and really pretty tasty with a good balance of sweet vs tart. What's the best way for me to stop the fermentation now and keep the desired flavor...

Spindles range in cost, but Home Depot/ lowes carry a variety of wood choices. The plaques came from Michaels craft store and were something like $1 a piece. Just wood glued the plaque to the spindle after it was cut to length. The screw insert can be bought online...

Thanks was relatively cheap to make and made for a really nice display

Here are what mine look like...

That's pretty nifty

Just an update here is what my box came out to be. Worked really well with the snap tap faucet setup also used 1" insulation all around the inside and then wrapped the kegs with reflectix and some ice packs in there and it was cold the whole way up till we kicked both kegs - no ice water mess!

Cool thanks - I have those faucets and planned on using them with my setup. I was also wandering around the forum and found this DIY https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=238348 May save me a few bucks may not so I'm wondering if the KEGlove is the best route or not still

I'm looking at KEGloves and was wondering if they are worth it vs putting kegs in ice. I guess after a few uses theyd pay off right? How well do they work? Whats the cheapest price out there to pick them up? Thanks!

Just about wrapped up with these. Thinking about adding some type of clear coat to seal them up better. The vinyl sticker paper says it's water proof but it couldn't hurt.

Just have to make a run and pick up printer ink, bought some vinyl sticker paper online to print the labels. Should look pretty legit!

Is a grey area, FedEx and ups are the preferred carriers. USPS is a little more strict but I've still done it and got away with it.

What part of SEPA you in?

Beer has yeast in it... so technically its a yeast sample. Most of the time you can ship it as long as the bottles don't break (pack them like you're shipping a newborn baby). Worst case scenario is one breaks and they open it and 'dispose' of them which is why you should always wrap in a...
