Welcome. Good to see more people from Rochester.

New all grain brewer here going to buy this kit from AHS. Been trying to get into water profiles any suggestions for this style of beer? Antwerp?

Thanks for the replies. Sweetsounds you really made up my mind. As long as these things can be rebuilt inexpensivly guess I will get into kegging. They also want to get rid of thier CO2 tanks. They say property of coke all over them would be sweet if I could get them refilled

I have an opportunity to aquire 6 5 gallon pin lock kegs complete with regulators, manifolds, liquid and gas fittings free where I work. Is it worth bothering with these? They look well used and came from Coke. Are replacement O rings for these available and are they the same as Ball Locks...

The yeast is WL028 and has been on the stirplate 24 hours. Could brew tommorow AM would be on plate ~40 hours at that point.
