So im somewhat of a newbie when it comes to kegging and i had a ?. My beer is carbonated and Im using my new perlick 525SS faucets for the 1st time. I purged all of the air out of the kegs using the pressure relief valves on the top and set both gas lines to 10 psi to serve. However beer...

Ok so I've kegged before. However, I have only done so by priming the keg with sugar and using a portable CO2 charger to dispense the tasty stuff. Ive upgraded recently thanx to kegconection's awesome prices and have a few ?s. All of the equipment (faucets, shanks, lines, regulator, tank) is...

So I went with the brewcraft blackberry natural fruit flavor. Has anyone ever used this before or any other of brewcraft's extract products? and what is your opinion on them? Also, i dipped my pinky in the vial to get a taste for it and am wondering if it is okay to add it to the 2ndary after...

So I am revamping this thread as I have some questions on this subject. How long will hops last in a ziploc bag in the freezer? Also, should I wrap a rubberband around the bags in order to further diminish the possibility of oxidization?

Yes. I used a hole saw and after I put a smaller bit in the middle, it went relatively smoothly. I'd seen people use both bits in videos during research but I thought the hole saw bit would be much easier. Anyway, hopefully I will be able to post sum pictures of the finished product in the next...

Wow do I feel stupid! Haha. Thx for the help guys!

I am having trouble drilling the hole for my shank in my kegerator. Whenever I go to drill the hole, the bit moves around on me. Anyone know of any tips to help keep it from doing this? I've already scratched up the paint on it pretty good and am looking to minimize this as much as possible.

Ya I believe I will end up using the 49 oz can of Oregon blackberry puree. Although I am not sure if i should add it to the boil or in the secondary... Im not sure which will provide the amount of flavor that I hope to achieve in the beer.

I didn't want to take out the orange peel because I believe that it will be a complement. I also didn't want to alter it to the point where it would no loner be identifiable as a wit. I definately want to be able to taste the blackberry and not just as a hint. Would it be easier to use...

I have recently been altering previous recipes and the following is what I came up with for SWMBO's birthday. Any input is greatly appreciated. Basically, my only concern is if I have too much adjunct (the orange peel, star anise, corriander, and grains of paradise) and their respective flavors...

Does any one know of a partial mash clone recipe for the lost coast great white witbier? I'm brewing it for SWMBO's birthday so any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

I too am interested in finding a recipe for this so Im gonna give it a bump. :mug:

Phew. That's great news. :ban:

I recently heard somewhere that using Iodophor to sanitize a corny keg is not a good idea as it is harmful to stainless. Is this true? I have never heard of this before and, as I use Iodophor, I am concerned that I should not be using Iodophor in the future.

Cool. Thanks for the advice guys. Also, I was planning on using mt. hood hops in the recipe. Research shows that wits normally use Saaz and Hallertauer. However, im not too sure which one is used for flavor and which is used for aroma. Any suggestions?

Hey guys. So I've been looking for a recipe for a blackberry wit with no results. I was wondering if i should just brew a wit as I normally would (with orange peel and coriander) and then add a blackberry concentrate to the secondary. This concentrate will be made by mashing up around half a...

Ya the first time i kegged, I used priming sugar and did not seal the tank. After 2 weeks of anxiously waiting, I was horrified that the beer wasn't carbed at all. All the gas escaped through the loose lid.

I have to say that I just ordered from keg connection for the first time and they were great! I emailed them because I wanted a custom kit and they had no problem doing it for me, great site, great prices, and great service! I would definitely order from them again. Hopefully once it arrives I...

Hmm. I really like that idea of slicing it instead of shredding, making it much easier to take out at the end. Have you ever used this method with oranges and other fruits?

Im the kind of person that loves to use fresh ingredients as opposed to dried. It seems that it just tastes better that way. Ive only used ginger once and it was in the holiday cheer beer from papazian's book. That recipe called for 1 oz of freshly grated ginger. That amount was way...
