Hey gang, I used the 20 percent off code a couple weeks ago at Northern Brewer to get their shiny new kegs with the stainless handle. It all seemed good. I kegged my first beer and finished it off. Once empty I decided to clean the keg. I loaded it with PBW. When dumping it out, I held...

This is great info, thanks everyone. I guess at this point I am leaning toward a 15 gallon kettle. The cooler is a great idea, but I currently only have a 5 gallon kettle, so I am kind of small for BIAB and would need to get a new boil kettle anyway I think. From what I understand I would need...

Hey gang, I'm pretty new to brewing. I have been doing 5 gallon extract batches thus far. I have been really excited by all of this and would like to make a move to all grain. From an expense perspective I feel that BIAB is a logical first step. It may turn out that it will be the only...

Newby here, so just curious about something related to this, not trying to hijack the thread. When you are dry hopping, or maybe just using a secondary period, if/since the beer itself can't create enough CO2 in the secondary to fill the headspace, would it be beneficial to use CO2 from your...

Hey gang, I have a elementary question about faucets. I have just decided to get into kegging. I have bought my kegs and stuff, but I don't have them filled yet. I started looking at faucets. I have noticed that they make adjustable flow faucets. I guess I always assumed that all faucets were...

Thanks everyone. It sounds like I am hearing lots of praise for kegging just not so much in doing it with out some form of refrigeration. Thanks for the ideas, maybe I can find a small cheap unit that will fill the bill. Thanks, Petemoss

Ah yes, the obligatory "Did you search for this" post. :) While I am sure that these forums contain all of the information available on this subject and could be treated as a tomb of knowledge simply to be searched and never commented on, I prefer a conversation. I did see that there is...

Hey gang, So I have been doing the extract brewing thing for a little while now. I really enjoy brewing (and drinking) but bottling is not one of my favvorites. I have considered kegging. The problem is that I don't have room for a dedicated keezer at the moment. I was wondering, if I kegged...

OP here, Thanks everyone. The one thing that I can see here is that this subject can lead to a lot of different thoughts. It has all be good information. I think that what I can take away is that tap water can be just fine if it is quality water to start with, though it may require some...

Hi gang, So, I've done two batches now, and the most annoying thing has been getting the water ready. I am doing extract only. I boil the batch with what ends up about two gallons or wort. That water is obviously sterile. The other water though, that I add to it to make five gallons, has been...

Hey everybody, thanks for the replies. Yeah, it sounds like I just need to get another (maybe a few) more fermentors. I'll leave this batch alone and let it finish out where it is. Thanks again.

Hi gang, So I am pretty new to all of this. I've read a lot but I don't have much practicle experience yet. I just racked my second batch to the fermentor (6.5 gallon big mouth bubbler). Right now I am still very excited about home brewing, so I am wanting to start more and more new...
