I am really disspointed that the tea technique didn't work for the last poster. Anyone else have any positive results? Also, I have read a lot a post differentiating "flavor" and "aroma." I have only a rudimentary understanding of human physiology ;) but I thought that flavor was...

You're using Russian River Brewing kegs just too mess with us aren't you......Salt to the wound..

I haven't had Zombie Dust yet, however I noticed that the first hop addition is at 20 min. Is that enough time to isomerize alpha acids to impart some bitterness? I understand that late additions are in vogue, I just imagined that there might be a little warrior or magnum to start the boil.....

Im guessing a wheat?

You can pick up the angle grinder and cutting wheels for under 30 sheckles at Harbour Freight. As stated above there are a zillion posts and lots of you tube clips on how to do it. Plus all the sparks make you feel like youre playing with KISS.

So that was the case....I took apart the siphon and re-taped everything....sucks the wort like a two-bit....ummm nevermind..it works!

Bukowski is epic! I read all of his stuff years ago. His poetry is quite powerful as well. If you like him you should check out John Fante, Burrows and of course Karoauk.... Im currently reading some non-fiction. A book called "Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol." Its an awesome read...

Present for presents!

Absolutely. However, the more I think about it I dont think I teflon taped the barbed nozzle connection to the ball valve. That may be where I'm introducing air and defeating the siphon. Ill test and report back when I get home.

I'm having the same problem even with tubing extending below the bottom of the keggle. I thought that the siphon would start simply with gravity but apparently not. Could there be another problem with the set up? Does one have to start the syphon somehow mechanically? I ended up using my...

I wanted to bump this thread in order to renew interest. B.O.R.I.S. the Crusher is turning my wine-avid friends into beer enthusiasts! I really want to be able to brew some faximile of this stout.....I'm counting on you, and the thousands of years of experience that you bring to this forum...

Thanks guys for the information. I'm currently sitting at the anchor steam joint in san fancisco on layover. I'll try to hit all the suggested spots and report back on a week or so. I appreciate the feedback!

I just tried the Winter Solstice last night and thought it would be a nice seasonal beer to have around. My question is when the beer seemed to clearly be an ale why does the OP use a lager yeast? I'm happy to use it but my fermentation chamber (a.k.a guest room closet) stays at a steady 67F...

May I just say that the name of your beer is friggen hilarious!

Great! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks Yooper! It worked after releasing it and going out to dinner. Second draft was perfect.

I'm off to see me mum in Eugene in a couple of weeks and was wondering if there were any new "can't miss" brew pubs in the area. I lived in Portland for a number of years (got my first degree at PSU!) but probably wont be spending more than a day there. I usually tour the locally wineries but...

I'm having a similar problem, however, I believe its because I left one keg on at 25-30 to force carb. (I did this of course after engaging my APA a little too ethusiastically). Last night I turned down the pressure to around 7 psi but had great frothing mugs of foam despite all of the usual...

Does the CO2 come completely out of solution?

I didnt realize the Pgh Whole Foods had homebrew stuff. Is there more than just the exrtract? Do you think it could be used as an "emergency" resource for brewing as our LHBS has some not completely fantastic hours and is closed on Sundays (my usual brew day)?
