Your completely right there is a ton of better options, I was just trying to give the guy a cheep alterative.

If you started with this http://www.homebrewstuff.com/chrome-adapter-ffl-x-draft-faucet-coupler.html and http://www.homebrewstuff.com/keg-charger-co2-injector-with-ball-lock.html . Mixed in with a fridge off Craigslist, I see them for free all the time. You could be in business. I know this...

She was very young here.

My daughter is just under 2 so it's hard to get away for 5 hours or so to brew, my wife also enjoys brewing so its hard to ask her to just watch her while i brew. So here is what I do for my boil and all three of us and our dogs just spend the day outside.

Did you use up all that yeast or did you divide it again?

I also have a batch of SP going right now. My LHBS recommended using white wine yeast because of what the Doc said above. Mine took a day to get going but is seriously going hard now.

Thanks guys. That leads me to a more complex question. If I need to increase the volume out of my MT do I need to increase the amount of grain to keep on par with a recipe? Or could I just increase the volume of water to make my after boil volume correct?

Hey I know this seems like a basic question, but do you use a pot lid on your bk? The guy who taught me how to brew never did, so I didn't. But I modified my burner to fit and support my keggle better. It works great, a bit to great and I had more boil off than I expected even on very low heat.

I do this 2 scoops of oxyclean in a sink full of tap water as hot as it will go. This works best on paper backed labels, they just fall off in an overnight soak. The plastic based labels might take some scrubbing with a green pad. Then right before bottling I run them in the dishwasher on the...

Hey folks, besides LHBS is there anywhere in southern Maine (Portland south) to the Portsmouth, NH area to get cheep corny kegs. I haven't found anything I love on craigslist. I was hoping to find a soda distributer looking to offload ones they aren't using anymore, or something like that...

Ovila Quad, I have had it twice, both times :drunk:

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting this.

Great points, but I keep going back to the fact that when the British first created this style they didn't have all of the hybrid types of hops we have today. They just added more hops so the beer wouldn't spoil on the way to India. Im just guessing that the hops they did have we're close to...

Can anybody recommend an all noble hop IPA all grain recipe, or a single hop IPA recipe and suggestions of which noble hop you think would be a good substitute? Thanks

I did a WIT for a cookout last summer, it was close to being done but the gravity was still falling slightly so I waited until the last day I could and bottled hoping that I could serve it at the cookout. The night before my wife was doing laundry in the basement and suddenly she heard a boom...

Thanks for the help.

Well there is about 20 prizes if you count the items that there is multiples of so you chances are actually 1 in 175. Not as bad as you thought!

Currently do 5 gallon batches and I have a 6.5 gallon carboy and a 5 gallon MT. I'm considering doing more half batches so that I can have more types of beer more often. The MT should work great but, Do I need to buy a smaller carboy or will the 6.5 be ok for a 2.5 gallon batch?
