    I need kegerator advise

    I just bought a keg king fridge from morebeer after my old one broke. It's the 3 faucet version. Best thing about is that it holds 3 kegs and the co2 bottle inside. It has a fan and a digital temp controller. Huge upgrade to the old one. The faucets are same style as perlick so they don't...

    Coco nibs

    I use 4 to 8 oz of nibs per 5g. I've added the straight into the secondary out of the bag for 5-7 days @ 75deg. I've also added them bagged straight into the keg for 4 days @ 36deg. Super easy to do in the keg, probably gonna stick to that if I can.

    Irish stout aging

    You don't need to age an Irish dry stout long, 2-3 weeks tops. I did a guiness clone, 2 weeks after kegging I couldn't tell it apart from an actual guiness.

    6~7% Milk stout recipe critique please.

    Looks overly complicated, I'd drop the wheat, blackprinz and Munich.

    Hazy Ipa

    Oh, totally overlooked your yeast selection. Yeah, 05 isn't going to work, only certain yeast will do the transformation. There are about a half dozen yeasts people are using for this style. The one I hear a lot about is imperial juice.

    Hazy Ipa

    Id drop the temp down to around 195 and whirlpool. Beersmith documentation only says above 85c. First dry hop is 2 days into fermentation at high krausen. 2nd dry hop is 4 days.

    Hazy Ipa

    I plugged your recipe into Beersmith and this is what i came up with. Of course i changed the hop schedule shooting for 35IBU. Whirlpool hops in version 2.3 of beersmith assumes the temp is 85C+. The hops from the boil are also calculated into the 30 minute whirlpool time. As for the dry hop...

    Bottling - twist off?

    The foil is a major pita to remove even with soaking.

    Coffee Stout help! Too much coffee!

    I blend beers all the time. A brown ale or a porter would tone the coffee down. Or you can let it age.

    If your just wanting to do a light beer do a SMASH or "brewing on the ones". Learn your base malts or something. This will go a long way in learning how to put a recipie together. I typically never use sugar unless it's a belgian style and usually never more than 10% of the grain bill.

    Bottling - twist off?

    I got 2 cases of bombers from a local sushi place and tipped her 2 bottles of homebrew. Kirin and Sapporo bottles peel easy too. If you buy beer for the bottles stay away from plastic labels and anything with foil (Leffe). I don't like Amber dosequis either. Guiness (shrink wrapped), New...

    I'm assuming the 5ib sugar is honey? I'd use a beer yeast or if your going with a good mead yeast I'd go with pack in 71b. I've never liked champagne yeast, leaves it very dry and flavorless.
