There are a couple stores that have 4.6cf mini fridges for good prices. Would that be large enough for 2 5gal kegs and a gas bottle (20oz paintball)? How tall are the 5gal kegs and how big around?

found the 16 gram co2 canisters

wecome to HBT. :mug: What part of IL you from?

thanks! that helps

How does the caramel taste?

OP, it might just be you have a lot of head space in the bucket. It may take a while for the co2 to fill that before the airlock bubbles. I have mine in a 5gal better bottle (very little head space) and its bubbling like mad. Sorry to hijack, but I am in the process of fermenting my first...

I recently tried Magic Hat #9 due to some recommendations on this forum. I found it at my local liquor store and bought a 6 pack. It was good, but not great. Last night I was at a local bar that had it on tap, it was GREAT!!!! I also notice this every year with SA Oktoberfest(my personal...

I went last night and it was nothing like what I expected. We got there as the lady was setting up. The bar we went to is know for having about 30 beers on tap. And on Tuesdays all pints are $2. So we went and got a table and around of beers and dinner. I had a magic hat #9 from the tap (it...

Anyone ever go to the Sam Adams Beer Lover's Choice? As some of you might know, every Sam Adams brews two different types of beer and takes it around the county letting the people decide what one is better. The winner gets added to the line up the following year. This year it is a Pils vs...

I bought a belgian wit kit from homebrewery.com. It came with a large bag of DME (pre-hopped), a specialty grain (needing to be steeped), Irish moss, bitter orange peel, coriander seed, and Safale us-05 yeast. First off I decided to keep the US-05 for later and go with WLP400 (belgian wit)...

I had to run to the local HBS today to get some nylon bags so while I was there I picked up a vile of WLP400. I hope to have a brew day early next week.

I got a Belgian Wit kit from homebrewery.com. It is a extract kit with specialty grains and seasonings (orange peel and coriander seed). I didn't know what yeast it was going to come with so I bought a pack of SafBrew WB-06 (wheat beer). The kit came with SafAle us-05. Which one should I use...

I bottled my first batch last night!!! Can't wait to drink!

I went to the St. Charles Shop. These last few Tuesdays it has been alot more convenient to go in the early afternoon. Next time I come in I will try to make it when you are there.

I picked up the 150 clones issue from my local HBS today. I will have to try some!!! I want to try the Warstiener. I can't wait for some one to clone Sam Adams Oktober fest!

I think it will be ok! I bottled it tonight. It tasted a little sour but not undrinkable. I will try another after a week in the bottle then 2 then 3.

I have a second fermenter on order so I can have two going at once. I also ordered a kit to make a belgian wit. and I also plan to make Edowrt's Apfelwein

I made a brew from can of "Copper's Lager", my best guess is its a Ale trying to be a Lager. I know I am not using lager yeast or lagering it. But lager is the name of the coopers can I used.

Tomorrow is the day of truth. My first batch will be taken from the fermenting bucket and bottled. I have been reading up on all this home brewing stuff and I guess I am now super paranoid about a bacterial infection. I used a pre-hopped can of Cooper's lager and some corn sugar. I boiled...

does a 5gal carboy cap fit on both the 5 gal and 6 gal better bottles?
