Hey all, I am looking to figure out which of these to get. I am leaning towards the 575 because it's only an extra $10. But I am currious if the creamer function actually works. I have seen youtube videos showing that it doesn't, but I would like some feedback from the forum here. Let...

Hey Guys, I've been browsing around for a few hours looking for a clone to this beer. I lived in Maine my whole life, but am having a hard time finding this beer in Mass where I moved a few years ago. I was hoping someone out there may have experimented and found such a thing. any input...

I brewed this up a little more than a month ago for the second time. Both times have been huge hits. The first time I used a German Wheat yeast, different from the Bravarian used in the recipe. This created a very mild Hefe, more in line with some of the Americanized Hefe's from Harpoon, or...

I am kegging, and was actually thinking that would work. But I wasn't sure if I would need an airlock during lagering, or if fermentation would be complete after the first 2 to 3 weeks.

Hey all, I purchased today the items to brew an Anchor Steam clone for National Homebrew day tomorrow. I am using the WL San Fran Lager yeast strain, but don't really have full lagering capabilities. The reason I chose this yeast was that it was resilient to higher temperatures, in adition...

Hey Guys, I got a new all grain setup only about 6 to 9 months ago and when I was brewing yesterday I could not get my sparge arm to spin at all unless I stood there spinning it manually. It appears as if the insides has stiffened up quite a bit as it used to spin very freely when I first...

Hey Guys, I recently purchased a dual regulator and due to space restraints in my kegerator I could not leave the new regulator attached directly to the tank, so I purchased a 6 ft length of supply hose but it's way too long. I've been looking for a 3 ft length of the same, but I have not...

Hey Guys, Just a question about air hose length. I am converting my kegerator to be a dual tower with a dual product regulator. My single product regulator used to connect to my tank directly, no hose, but with the new regulator, I am going to need some hose to make everything fit nice...

Hey guys, I am getting ready to transfer a chocolate stout to secondary, after I just kegged my IPA to free up said secondary... Life is good when you have a pipeline... :mug: Anyway, I have 2 oz of pure chocolate extract to throw in at either secondary or keg time. Wanted to field some...

Awesome!! Hadn't found their site yet. I looked up my zip and found tons of places... Thanks a lot.

Hey All, I'm making a clone of the Rogue Chocolate Stout for a friend of mine who used to live out west. I am having a hard time finding a 4 oz bottle of chocolate extract locally. I have found a few places on line, but I am not looking for that, as the shipping is usually more than the $7...

I use the quick method of rolling the keg gently on the floor for about 20 to 30 minutes at about 20 PSI. Once I get the carbonation dialed in, I turn it down to about 10 PSI and pour a couple of pints to release pressure, instead of using the release valve. Even after 2 weeks of serving...

Hey Guys, I have a consistent problem with my beers served from my kegerator. The first pour of the day is ALWAYS just right, decent amount of head and also good carbonation. However, each pour thereafter has almost no head at all, maybe 1/8" or so at the top at most. If I try to create...

Hey Guys, Just got all the stuff to make a killer IPA over the weekend. The wife's birthday is on Sunday and she's been DYING to have a Pumpkin beer this fall. I'm not a huge fan, but since it's her birthday weekend, I'm thinking of doing it to be a nice guy (and to get her off my back)...

Hey Guys, This brew sounds amazing, but SWMBO hates a true German Hefe taste. I think it's the spicy notes you get that she doesn't like. I'm trying to figure out a way to counter that in this recipe. Anyone have an idea? Thanks, Mark

Great link, my only question is, the page doesn't indicate how long it will take to reach that carbonation level. Any ideas?

Light wheat was what I was thinking as well. Thanks for the input.

Hey Guys, I am hoping to brew up a batch of this over the weekend. I don't see anything listed as "Red Wheat" at my LHBS, could someone point out the best to use? http://www.beer-wine.com/category_page.asp?categoryID=21&sectionID=1 Much appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Thanks Guys for all of the replies. I was curious of what type of results I would get, and I knew a lot of you did this. Sounds like I will be purchasing a tub (or two) this week... Prost! BTW, I'm planning on doing EdWort's Bavarian Hefe, any tips, tricks, input not covered in the 28...

Hey Guys, I've got a closet dedicated to brewing, but it stays around 70 to 72 degrees, which is within reason for most ales, but I'd like to get it around 65 to 68 degrees. I don't have the cash, or space, for a portable AC unit, so I was thinking of simply getting a big tub and filling it...
