My new kegging system is on the way! Any brewers in my area have a recommendation on where to get Co2? I didn’t order the optional tank because I don’t want to buy a new tank if I end up using an establishment that only does swaps.

I agree...nothing is more important than temp control. I had a pale Ale fermentation that got into the high 70’s one time and I ended up dumping the batch. I’ve never understood why temp control is one of the last investments many brewers make. Before you go out and spend money on Blichmann...

33 and brew every two weeks. 5 gallon batches

Do you think using bags reduces the hop flavor and aroma? I used bags before, but felt like my late additions weren’t coming through. That’s why I bought the hopstopper. After using it I have noticed that hop flavor and aroma does come through more. I like to let the hops roam free in the wort...

If you want to see what prison wine tastes like it would probably be fine.

Anybody else have one of these? Every batch I’ve used it on has clogged. Even with small amount of hops. This last batch was the worst because I had to completely disconnect it to get it flowing. I use it with a gravity system, but I get the feeling it’s truly designed to be used with a pump...

I have a hopstopper 2.0 and I’ve got to say I’m disappointed. I use it on a gravity system, but I think it’s really designed to be used with a pump. Every batch I’ve used it on has clogged. The last batch I had to sanitize my arm and reach in to disconnect it. It was my last resort but I...

Hi all, I’m about to pull the trigger on kegging and I want to go the chest freezer route. I want to fit 4 cornys, 3 taps and one for lagering. Could I fit 4 in a 7 cu? This is the one I’m looking at. The 10 is $70 more...

Hi all, I’m in the market for a kegerator or a keezer setup capable of holding at least 3 corny kegs. If you have kegs I’d be willing to take those off your hands as well.

That could be it. I don’t know how because I don’t slack on that front, never had an infected batch. I’m not 100% sure it’s DMS. I just know DMS tastes and smells of corn/vegetables and that’s what I’m getting on my palate.

I pitched 1 packet into 5 gallons of 1.046 wort. The fermentation took off quickly. FG ended at 1.008

I made a blonde ale with Pilsner malt, and it has a heavy off flavor that I think tastes and smells like canned corn. My palate isn’t trained enough to know exactly what it is, but I really get a corn flavor and aroma out of it. Kind of like that weird flavor in BMC but amplified. Is this DMS...

Dry yeast is pretty inexpensive. I would just use 2 for good measure.
