Are you force carbing or natural carbing? Either way you will need a co2 tank to dispense you beer.

I would guess that it wasn't a one time deal. I think it might have been an step by steps process. Something creates this stuff that makes me feel good. The when we could finally see (microscope) yeast, we out two and two together.

I'm sure someone who knows more can tell you which off flavors you may get, but you should still be fine. It will make beer!

Nope, there was enough co2 being produced to protect your beer, the higher ferm temp may produce some off flavors. Next time make sure to do a blow off tube so you won't have these probs. you will be fine

That sounds awesome! Can't wait to see how it finally turns out!

That's very good to know! I was planning on kegging mine this fall, guess I won't till I can afford a dedicated line!

Yuri' thunderstruck is excellent pumpkin ale. Plan plenty in advance, it takes six weeks in bottle to age to best taste and 3-6 weeks in fermenters. So 2-3 months out, now is the time to start planning and making your fall beer!

Corn sugar. I will be making another batch very soon and be kegging it this time.

Did you read the actual letters? Looks to me 6th was willing to change a few things to help, but magic hat kept pushing and pushing. Finally 6th got pissed off and had enough. I'm with the local boys on this one!

Looks like I will be buying some west 6th on the way home, may stop in for a pint too!

Thanks! I was very impressed. Wish I could say it was mine, but I found it online somewhere. I'm going to make another batch and keg it next time.

Just have to brag a little. Trying this clone for first time tonight and not only is it great tasting, but probably the closest clone I have made yet! Taste is very very close, and color is dead on, head is pretty close too. I don't pour the clone quite as aggressive since it was my first one...

I put three gal jugs of distilled store bought water in freezer whenever I put water in my pot and start heating it. Whenever I am done with my wort boil, I placed pot in an ice bath for about 5-7 min till I get my wort to 120-150. I then take my almost frozen jugs of water and fit as much as...

The elbow is for the bottling bucket. So your temps shouldn't be any higher than room temp.

I used wlp007 too.

I did and it turned out awesome. Slightly over carbed, but that was my fault. Need to do this recipe again.

Can I use a commercial pump tap with a co2 system? Just unscrew the hand pump, get a gas line barn and plug in co2 line? Or is that a completely separate tap?

Well, I ordered the dual picnic tap setup from birdman brewing. Now just got to wait till it comes in! Guess I had better find as one recipes to brew. I'll use this till I can afford the undercounter kegerator that I ultimately want. I figured I can also use the extra stuff to help purge kegs...

I was feeling pretty good and was transferring some beer to secondary for dry hopping and added my first oz of hops to the primary instead of secondary! Doh! Luckily I had another oz or so of hops in freezer, not the same, but it got thrown in anyways!!
