The kit I made was only a 3 gallon kit. For primary and secondary I used my 5 gallon carboy. After the primary and degassing I shot some C02 into the carboy to purge out as much oxygen before putting the airlock back on. If you have kegging supplies you could go that route.

Or if you're downtown check out The Taphouse Grill http://taphousegrill.com/beer.html. They have 160 beers on tap and looking over this beer list shows quite a few local beers from outside the city.

I've only done 1 kit so far. It was an Reisling Ice Wince kit. Like HBngNOK says, it fizzed like soda pop but no foam or krausen actually formed. I think you'll be just fine.

I pitched an IPA onto a Red Ale yeast cake a few batches ago. I didn't worry about the krausen ring on top, or any trub in the cake. I just racked the beer until there was about a 1/8" over the cake. Then I transferred the fresh wort directly onto the cake. The IPA turned out great. It started...

I've been reading the gamecast on ESPN here at work. This looks like a game I'll have to watch a replay of tonight.

Subscribed, I'm interested to see what comes of this.

Hard fought game today with the Sounders against DC. I joined the Homebrew Classic fantasy league finally. Looking alright this week so far. Do you guys have those head slap moments when you realize you played someone who's team has a bye this week and the player that's benched happens to have...

I LOVED this game. Rush'N Attack! Never could beat it though.

Probably not, maybe in a week or so. Keep them at room temp and you should be good to go in about 2 weeks. I was never very patient though and would open one after the first week just to see where they were at. Keep in mind that you will most likely not actually see bubbles rising like in a...

No Reno I didn't see that game. It was on I think at the same time as the Sounders. I did see a score update flash on the screen though that showed 2-0 at 17' in. I was shocked.

That PK was BULL. That ref made some pretty questionable calls throughout the game. I do agree though that the San Jose keeper was having a great game. He made some awesome saves. So far this season I've been pretty happy with the way the Sounders have come together. Montero seems to be working...

It was the keg. I had another keg set up to carb right next to the flat keg. It has carbonated perfectly in a week or so. I transfered the flat beer to another keg I had sitting empty and wallah, the beginnings of carbonation has already begun! Time to clean all the poppets and maybe change out...

I think that's the only thing keeping that just a theory. It still tastes like great flat beer! I may try that and transfer to another keg to see if that helps. I just kegged another beer this week and have it hooked up too. I'm getting pretty thirsty though, these things better get moving...

No I've never used the shaking method to carb. The modified set and forget method has worked every time in the past. Part of me wants to think the LHBS swapped me a bunk tank of CO2 this last time and all that's in there is compressed air. But that seems hard to imagine.

So I'm stumped right now and am reaching out to see if anyone has any suggestions. I've been using my keggerator system for over 10 kegs so far. My usual procedure is to keg the beer, purge, put into fridge for 24 hours to chill, hook up CO2 @ 30 PSI for 24 - 48 hours, then set to about 12 PSI...

I brew in the garage with a propane burner. I just leave the outside door open and the garage door cracked open about 12". I also went and bought a carbon monoxide alarm just in case. I've never had it go off.

Lets see a picture. If its a glass carboy you might be able to get a small serated knife, or jigsaw blade, or something else like that to cut through the side, then maybe carefully use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it out. sanitize everything first of course. You could also just use a...

Le Toux will hopefully give Vancouver more of an edge this year. They didn't seem to have much last year. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Sounders in action soon. Sounds like they've had a great start in the preseason. Anyone going to the free game on the 29th at Century Link?

A secondary is another bucket or carboy used after the fermentation has completed. Its main function is to let the beer clear, and it would be the vessel you dry hop in. They are more personal preference though, some people just leave their beer in primary for a month or so and then go straight...

Yeah, you're fine without it. Keep it hazy.
