Maybe try using a Festa kit, pour wort in pail, sprinkle yeast on top and seal and you are done. There are no corners to cut. 4 weeks later you have beer. You can probably bypass secondary and just siphon from primary to keg and hook up the gas and tap and in a week you will be pouring a frosty...

I didn't even open that one. I just transferred the other batch.

I put a Baron's Cerveza & Redwood Ale into primary 3 weeks ago and within hours I got a lot of vent activity, 2 days later it was quiet. I am now 3 weeks past that and I wanted to put them in secondary, the Cerveza I believe is infected as it has a scummy film on top. I tranferred it anyway and...

I bought my kegerator at Costco Canada for $400 and it came with a 2.5 lb tank & regulator. I bought 4 - 3gal kegs from the us for $200 US incl shipping. I spent probably another $200-$300 on hoses & gadgets Yes it was kind of a steep startup but I am on batch number 6 and very happy! Note: I...

My question is about priming a 3 gal keg with priming sugar. I apologize if I used the wrong terminology. I can carb fine with the set & forget method. I have no luck with the shake or roll with higher pressure quick carbing.

Just wondering if a uv light would work to skunk? Brewing at work and if I put the beer in the alley for the sunlight it would be gone in 30 seconds... My shop has no windows.

Since my plan is to always have back up kegs ready to go does anyone know how much priming sugar to use for a 3 gal keg? I have 8 of them but can only fit 2 at a time in the kegerator. I don't want to keep going to the beer store while I have 20 gals of uncarbonated beer sitting around. It...

I was wondering about this, I am on my 2nd and 3rd batches of Cerveza, 1st was a Brewhouse kit, 2nd is a Festa which is currently on tap and I have a Barons in primary. I was given sparkling reviews on both kit 1 & 2 and seriously the Brewhouse tasted like the cheap watery house draft they...

Congrats on your first batch and I wish I had your problem... I finished making my first 2 batches exactly a month ago and I just finished them tonight :( I have 2 in secondary with a week to go before I keg and I'm starting to worry that I need to get another 2 kits into primary now! It is...

Buy 3/16" online if you have to! That was the start of my 2 wk nightmare when the brewer supply guy told me that 1/4" was a must have. $70 & tons of grey hair later I had to insist that they sell me 3/16". At 8 psi I'm pouring near perfect beer. I spliced 6' on to the 4' line that came with my...

I left 26' of beer line in starsan for 3 days because I did not have time to work on my lines, when I took it out today my whole line is slimey like the pvc is melting... Took several washes to get it off of my hands. Could that be or is that just what starsan does??? Can this be rectified...

I have foam no matter how many I pour changing the psi only determines whether I get a slow glass of foam or a fast glass of foam. I'm about to balance my kegerator with a fire axe! Tap up tops has 4 ft of 3/16" & 6 ft of 1/4" yes I understand the difference in resistance between the 2 lines but...

So much for Canada Day... Lost a 5 pounder to a gas leak, so no carbonation at all. There can't be anything more defeating than having to go and buy beer with 4 full kegs just sitting there...

Thanks for clearing it up for me, I am using 3 gal kegs so maybe that will buy me some grace...

I have no freakin clue how to read my hydrometer... There is a big bold line for 1.000 then 4 ticks then regular bold line with a 10 then 4 ticks then regular bold line with a 20 and so on until 90 then 4 ticks Then another big bold line for 1.100 My Red Ale is at day 16 (11 in...

Thanks. I just can't afford to buy another one so I'm being a little cautious err paranoid...

Ok, so I went to the store where I bought the Brewhouse Cervesa and the guy there said that the amount of yeast in the kit is near double what I need, hence the insane amount of quick fermentation activity then nothing. I put it into secondary yesterday and it looks fine to me, it is pretty...

The short wood ones are really nice looking but seem kind of pricey... Ok, so after a trip to HD to make my own and buying all the stuff except the stain and some toppers from the craft store, I have to admit they are very reasonably priced indeed! I know there is pride in making your own, but...

I am on my second kit, the first (Festa Red Ale) is now in the secondary after 5 days I still get the odd bubble. My second is a Brewhouse Mexican and after mixing it started bubbling in the airlock right away, 2nd day the airlock overflowed twice after the clean up and second overflow I broke...

Did you drill right through to the inside of the fridge?
