    Denver Breweries

    Well, there is no shortage thats for sure. Depends on what you like. I like odyssey Beer works for their rum barrel sour, four noses for their bourbon stout, hogs head for their cask beers, and de steeg for its unique styles. So many other good ones, these are close to me though. A lot of...

    Nitrogen (Beer Gas)

    Kegco is a terrible company, not surprised at what they told you. Oh well though, enjoy.

    I think I corrected my Efficiency problems

    I went from 63% to 75% instantly when i bought my own mill. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but gee, when you get low eff you sure do buy more grain to compensate. Seems like a win for the brew shops, but whatever, grain is cheap.

    WB-06, weird taste

    I did 2 lbs in a blueberry beer i did and got just a hint. Ended up adding a smidge of flavoring. I bet 3-3.5 lbs would be a good balanced addition.

    Help - Waiting for yeast to do its thing!

    Just used this yeast. I pitched 2 vials and got action at about day 2 at 54 deg. So if you can you should toss another vial in, it would be worth it.

    Persistently low efficiency! even with fly sparging

    2 things i did that got me up to 77% from where your at currently was my own grain mill set at .037, and a false bottom. Although, the grain mill is the most effective in increasing efficiency from my experience. I found out recently that my LHBS was just "eye balling" their mills gap, which...

    Water help

    Im AG By the way. Well, i got my answer from the water lady. Pretty much went cross eyed as i was reading her email, was hoping for more of a "puppy who lost his way" type of response, but i got the gist of what she is saying. This is what she said: As for the Chloride - our average is 12.0...

    Never dump it

    This couldnt be more true. Did a rasberry that was way to tart, 3 weeks later, perfect. Also did an imperial cream ale i hated, left it alone in the kegerator for 2 months, then bam! delicious.

    Kegco Mill?

    Are you talking about on their website? When i tried to review the kegerator on their website it wouldn't except it. It was only 5 star reviews for the kegerator i bought, which is why i went ahead with it. What a mistake that was. I will say the kegco 209b is what they swaped me with, and...

    Kegco Mill?

    https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/beverage-factory-k199b-2-problems-463659/ After numerous attempts, they finally agreed to replace my unit. It basically took me posting negative reviews on amazon, facebook, yelp, etc before they helped me. Otherwise, the initial phone call to them about my...
