New Belgium Trippel and some homebrewed cider... yummy!

I found this one, added the fittings, and installed a plastic tube with drilled holes. Just need some beverage tubing and a picnic faucet to get it going. I've read that you should use 10' of tubing between the randall and faucet to reduce foam. Is this true?

I've seen the cartridge filter housings for sale online, but are they available at hardware stores? Just curious before I go searching...

Brewed it today. Went with 1 oz Kent Goldings and 1 oz Chinook for the bittering hops and upped the aroma hops to 1.25 oz Willamette. We'll see how it goes! This will be my longest timeframe for a brew so far.

I believe most of the citrusy/grapefruit character comes from your aroma hop additions so I would cut back the bittering hops to 1 oz. at 60 minutes. I brewed a rye IPA recently with this hop schedule: 1 oz. Chinook (13% AA) 60 min .5 oz. Cascade (5.5% AA) 10 min .5 oz. Cascade (5.5% AA)...

Yes, I've already started soaking, but I bought a 3 oz. bag of oak cubes and only planned to use 1.5 oz., so starting over wouldn't be a pain. My friend at the LHBS suggested american oak with a medium toast to keep it rather mild and didn't say anything about boiling. I think I'll just wing...

You won't believe how fast your collection of equipment and size of your homebrew setup will grow. I started with a plastic fermenter and a 3 gallon stockpot. Within a year I was doing full boils in a 7.5 gallon kettle and had 3 fermenters going at a time! The next year brought my first...

I've never found a better tailgating situation than the one at Arrowhead Stadium.
