You can make great beer without a conical - you cannot pull a pint out of the keezer without the kegging setup. I would go kegging for sure I love having taps to pull.

Welcome from another bay area newbie

If you have kids Hopworks is awesome very kid freindly - and great beer.

It is all about the calories. I drink 3-5 days a week. Some days wine some beer less frequently mixed alcohol. I run every other day to the tune of 12 to 16 miles a week I eat 1,000-1,200 calories a day not including alcohol. I was 100lbs overwieght at one time, I now pay attention to...

Kegging is amazing and cost me 10 lbs in the first 4 months. I love draught beer and really love the bulk efficiencies of kegging over bottling.

About 1 year in and I have made some absolute crap that was undrinkable and some really enjoyable beer. The process is evolving and I am learning and that is what makes it enjoyable. Learning something new keeps me happy.

Is there any difference aging it carbed as opposed to not carbed, what about temp?

Worked at Sears tire as a college student, and I can tell you the main answer is getting paid by the peice. You go as fast as you can because the more you do the more you get paid and the less the manager yells at you that customers are waiting. Also starting lug nuts by hand and the gunning...

I agree it was a lot of ginger, but it was in the mash and not in the spice tea at the end we will see how it goes. Smelled good going into the fermenter. Long brew day for sure. Starting gravity of 1.064.

After a slowsparge and a trip to the park starting boil with a preboil gravity of 1.051 seems like I am on track.
