    Is it ruined?

    You should be okay. I mean, only time will tell for sure, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I would say RDWHAHB but based on your post, you have no homebrew to drink. Good luck and welcome.

    corney kegs in a kegerator?

    I am not sure what that kegerator looks like but what I did when I was sizing my freezer for kegs is cut out cardboard circles that are the diameter of cornys and place them all in the bottom of the soon to be kegerator. If height is a concern, take a tape measure and measure the inside of the...

    Dead yeast from an online supplier -- should I ask for my money back?

    I ordered some from AHS last summer and the same thing happened, but that was not their fault, it was mine for ordering their flat rate shipping which typically takes a week to get to me. No yeast is going to survive 110* summers from Austin to OK with a cold pack or not. If you want to buy...

    The BIG Hop Mix-up

    Thanks! I wasn't really too stoked on going to the store again, so I was kind of just planning on mix n it up a bit regardless - I was just making sure it wasnt going to "ruin" the batch. The only thing that sucks is this is my first time making it so I dont have a base line to compare it to...

    The BIG Hop Mix-up

    So...I just did something pretty dumb. I was going to dry hop my AHS Hop Bomb clone, and I proceeded to open and dump in 4oz of random hops that were in my freezer, thinking since they said AHS on them, they went to this recipe. Well, I noticed I was a bit short (about 4oz short) and quickly...

    Coffee in Beer, What to do? And not do?

    I added coffee to a porter once and I cold brewed it. I used the ratio of 1c of coffee for every 4 cups of water. So, I ground roughly a cup of coffee and poured the grounds directly into a pitcher. I added 4 cups of water and let it sit covered in the fridge for a min of 3 hrs, up to 12 hrs...

    most hops you've ever put in a 5 gallon batch?

    I am making that on Tuesday. Have you tried it yet? If so, how is it? I am anticipating it to strip the enamel off my teeth.

    Homebrew bill passes Oklahoma State House

    The Yeastie Boys. They are a little more laid back than the HPD as far as they dont follow parliamentary procedure etc. From what I hear, both are great.

    AHS Festbier

    Well, looks like I will be the first. I will write a review in a few months when I taste it I suppose.

    How essential is it to cool your draft tower?

    I dont know if it is "essential" at all. I mean, it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. I, personally, have never even attempted to use my kegerator w/o a pc fan attached to a tube to cool my tower but that's bc I had the money to do it, and my kegerator is in the garage...

    AHS Festbier

    I will be in Austin for the 4th and thought I'd swing by AHS and pick up this kit. Has anyone made it before? I figured I would make it now and since my experience with lagers go, it typically takes a bit longer - and hopefully by Sep/Oct it will be dialed. I made an octoberfest kit from...

    Ya have to give credit where credit is due...

    I feel like we are saying the same thing to an extent, and forgive me for maybe not presenting this the way I should have. I agree that it takes money to keep a business afloat, etc - but I still dont think many micros are out there for market domination (to the extent of AB). Obviously...

    Ya have to give credit where credit is due...

    As I said, everyone needs to make a buck. If you can do it by doing something you are passionate about kudos to you, I think you have acheived the American Dream and there is nothing wrong with that, but dont tell me Jim Koch and Sam Calagione are comparable to the wigs a BMC. One hand is...

    Ya have to give credit where credit is due...

    Kind of. I mean, yea, their story of adversity is great and at the time when there were few options it would be easy to raise a glass and toast to that, but let's be honest - they are not concerned with making "good (quality)" beer now as much as they are about making a buck. It really comes...

    Advice for 1st time IPA

    I made that recipe too and it was a huge hit, twice. I made it once for a retirement party for my dad (crawfish boil) and the keg was floated in hours, and I sent the recipe to a buddy for his birthday party and he said his keg was almost gone in hours as well.
