More presents on the doorstep when I got home! My fridge style kegerator kit arrived from Keg Connection. Looks good so far. I included an image of a homebrewed Belgian...zoinks!

With it being such a high gravity beer, is it possible your original yeast pitch is completely spent? It's often suggested to add yeast during priming for bottling high gravity beers, as the beer may not have enough viable yeast cells to adequately consume the priming charge and carbonate. Just...

Came home today to find packages on the doorstep. Christmas before Labor Day! YaY! Some photos of the gear I've aquired so far. In order of appearance - GE 5ft² chest freezer (clean!), 5 gallon converted ball lock corny, 3 gallon pin lock corny (parts on the way to convert to ball lock) and a...

So I finally decided to take the plunge and start kegging my beers. Obviously, this means I need a way to properly chill the kegs for serving, so the game is afoot! I decided to build a small keezer, and the plan is to eventually have 3 taps. I picked up a 3 year old 5cu/ft chest freezer off...

This beer was originally named Independence Day IIPA. I brewed this on the 4th of July and sourced some of the ingredients for their thematic purpose. During fermentation, unforseen circumstances (plus my appreciation for corny puns) changed the name of this batch. After it had sat in secondary...

This was my first real success in brewing. I had some issues with consistency of carbonation prior to this, as I had been using Fizz Drops. Lots of flat beers and gushers. This was the first time I had batch primed with dextrose. This was a very simple recipe I just happened to stumble on...
