Teton, I'll be looking forward to it!

MHB, that'd be way cool! I'm really interested in Gold colored units..:ban: .

Modred, the other guys are completly wrong. This stuff has gone terribbly wrong by now...not even a quesiton about it. Please send it to me immediately here in Idaho where I can dispose of it properly at the Idaho National Laboratory Nucelar Wasted facility properly. DON't even think of...

:mug: Not bad on the white vinegar idea Deb. Use that on coffee pots all the time and it didn't even cross my addled brain to use it on kegs! Good Job!

:mad: I too have left several emails to no avail. I intend to keep trying though. I am really after the Ss/Gold. Hopefully someone will holler back. I am wondering if our Lawyer friend has it right since I work for a large radio corporation and my email has that signature attached:confused:

Local Distributor that went out of business is the source. He has about 15 Euro style (Spaten) kegs left. I could pick some up for you guys, but be forwarned, the shipping is usually a killer from out here in Idaho...

Don't know if this is a good thing or bad. I had intended to buy a keggle from Sabco, but found a place selling used kegs for $15 ea! I couldn't turn it down and bought 6 of them. They are euro. but all even hold pressure and are in great shape. Any suggestions for a good cleaner to use...

Teton, don't worry about it. The closest HBS other than in Jackson is going to be Idaho Falls. Called Barley's. It's in the guy's garage. The number is 208-524-2748. Even as such, you are looking at a 2 1/2 hour one way trip... Brew it and bring it to Idaho Falls. I will show you the...

Well, my friend and I have decided it's time to start brewing in larger batches. I think a converted keg is the way to go. Where have you guys gotten yours? Kegs.com or built them yourself? Oh, and if anyone want to sell one, give me a holler!:fro: Sneaky

It looks like you will loose a little. :( You have greatly increased the gravity of the wort. I would go to your nearest hardware store and get real blowoff tubing. 1 1/4" Outside Diamater hose. It should fit in the neck of your carboy snug with out anything else. It will help you save a...

This is sounding real funky to me. :( It could in deed be an infection. And if it is tasting real sour, the sour as in Lambics sour...sanatize the STUFFING out of EVERYTHING. That is a very difficult bacteria to get rid of. My little in home butcher shop is also my brewery. Some of the...

I would have to go with the good Baron. Brew Belgians! The yeast can take the heat up to 85 degrees!:ban:

I couldn't have added anything to what Kai advised. Brew well and brew often and I will have another Trippel ;)

If I am understanding you correctly, you bottled and then drank what you could not get in the bottles. WAY to GO! You are on your way to being a true brewer! Taste every thing at every stage. Chew every kind of grain...munch on every kind of hop (takes a strong constitution here) but TASTE it...

I agree! Leaving the carboy's inside the boxes is brilliant! There is still the possibility of an explosion though. Small hoses can get plugged. For super high gravity ( or super fast fermenting like a Belgian Trippel), I use a 1-1/4" outside Diameter hose that just fits in the neck of my...

You should be o.k. with it at present. I would urge you to wait to bottle. Two weeks is fine. To make a case for the Nasties (not Autolysis though), a lot of Belgian beers (i.e. Tripples, Saisons) are prone to it if you let it set on the primary trub cake for more than two weeks. Developes a...

Tom, I think you will be o.k. Even if you had Idaphor etc. in the airlock, the ppm should not kill the yeast. However, a small suggestion, if you use 180 proof Vodka etc. in your airlock, it would never be a threat. Sneaky

To find anything with that short and narrow of a profile and yet have it open from the front...well...you would find many blessings my son...

Yup, they will leak the CO2 needed to carbonate your beer...and you don't want your precious, hand crafted, high quality brew to be ...well...flat!

So rather than spend the extra (actual beer making cash) on a 3 gallon tank for a bbq, you just transfer over 1, 2, or 3 gal from a full 5 and take the partial right?
