Good to know. Thanks.

I love this stout. I have made it before and it is always great. This time I am substituting Roasted Barley for Black Barley. Not my choice--it's what the lhbs had in stock. Has anyone else tried this substitution and how was it? I would be ok with a "roastier" coffee flavor, but not an...

Here's where I spend my weekends.

I have had a great month, where lots of things have fallen into place for me. After three years of brewing, I now have temp. controlled fermentation and a four tap kegerator. Seriously, I just drank the best beer that I have ever made. If you are a new brewer, don't look at pots, or worry...

Trolled or he has been drinking a lot of his unboiled beer ;)

BassBeer--I just started kegging. Do you leave the hops in the keg or remove after a few days?

There is probably a connection to Craft Beer popularity and therefore, price increase. I can make two cases for what some breweries charge for a growler.

What about cold crashing? Before or after dry hopping?

BTW, Yooper--My first pull should be your Oatmeal Stout.

Thanks, everyone. Just looking forward to that first pull!

Oh, and the gauge is reading 500psi, I was just going by the green "Full" mark and the red "Refill" mark.

At 40*. The kegs (I have two attached together) are in the freezer. It hasn't dropped much. But it definitely dropped. Maybe just being paranoid; I just didn't know what to expect. I didn't think about the o-rings, though. Like I said, first time using kegs.

I am totally new to kegging. So, I just finished building my keezer and put two kegs of beer in it this weekend and set it to 15 psi to start carbing. After about 3 days, I dropped it to 10 psi. The problem is that my tank pressure guage is steadily dropping. I have checked every connection...

I use a $12 space heater (about 6-8 inches away from fermenter) and a Johnson Control unit. Works perfectly in a cold garage.

Just finished this tonight. Four taps but will hold eight cornies.

Use buckets and stop watching. One less thing to worry about. It'll be fine.

I'm in Culver. Has anyone tried Evil Czech? Kind of cool to have a brew pub in such a small town.

I just moved to Culver from the Bluegrass State and I looking forward to brewing in the cold, northern IN winters. I am an all-grain brewer who is ready to build a keezer as my next project!

I use a three tiered system but I always thought that if I had a pump and went to two tiered stand I would want HLT above the other two vessels. My logic is that with this set up you could use the pump to recirculate the mash (instead of catching the first wort in a pitcher) then move the hose...

I thought the purpose the carboys as a secondary is so that you can "see" when your beer is clear vs. just following a schedule. I like to watch as all the stuff settles to the bottom.
