    HELP!!! Keg won't stay sealed!!

    +1 on 30 psi. You will hear the lid pop into place if it's been leaking.

    Nose is off

    Thanks for the link. After walking around with a snifter of beer and sniffing cardboard boxes (my wife thinks I'm going nuts) I'm going to say it's not cardboard. I'm leaning towards the problem being the heavy use of pilsner malt and my mash/sparge. I'm going to substitute 50% two row next...

    Nose is off

    I thought DMS and boiled w/o a lid, but I'll give a 90 min boil a try.

    Do you guys set a limit on your drinks?

    That wouldn't stop me from drinking beer every day. I don't get trashed and I don't drive if I've had more than two. I don't run around with the boys all night. She doesn't much care what I do at home.

    Smoker Suggestions

    Heh, I bought the Bradley for that reason. I had one of the Brinkman R2D2 units for years until it rusted out and changing the wood chips drove me bats. I like the pucks, but there is a cost to it.

    Nose is off

    Hops, is there anything they can't do? Beer might be green. It's only a few weeks out of the fermenter. I'm pretty comfortable with the fermentation temp, I use a freezer with a two stage controller, temps range from 60 - 62, I pitch at 75 (lowest I can get). Water: I'm living somewhere...

    Nose is off

    I wish I could describe it better. Mostly it doesn't smell like much of anything, the closest I can describe it is cardboard. Maybe the problem is I'm too used to highly hopped beer.

    Nose is off

    This is a recipe I've made a few times. Most of my beer is a lot hoppier, but I'd like to have an under 5% lawnmower beer for the summer. The last two times I've made it the nose has been off. It tastes good and doesn't smell bad, it just doesn't smell like beer. The first time it was off I...

    Smoker Suggestions

    I have a Bradley original smoker. It's pretty idiot proof and I've made some great food in it.

    Billy Beer

    You're old? I was old enough to buy the stuff. And real men took their chances and stuffed the pull tab into the can. But I do recall stepping on the damned things at the beach.

    Do you guys set a limit on your drinks?

    That's probably a good idea even if it's actually more.

    Billy Beer

    I drank one of those back in the day. It tasted like stale beer with orange soda in it.

    Anyone interested in starting a Home Brew Club in the Toms River area?

    No need to explain further. At least you have your priorities right.
