I would say I would switch to star-san, (mabye after im out of one-step) but this is something I will now be a bit more careful of. As far as the flies, yup it's nasty.. Usually I give the whole outside of the keg a 'one over' after I put the gas on.

I tasted the "brew" last night. It's def. not vinegar. Honestly I don't know what it is. Smells like wine, taste like a combo of wine and beer. Also, there was a LOT of sediment in the bottom of the keg, ad a good layer of tan krausen sitting on top. Very small bubbles, could possibly have...

Ok, sounds good. Thanks all. Ill try my vinegar tonight.

Yes, the 1/2-1 gal of one step is in there. This is one of the reasons I don't know if its safe. I would assume so, since the yeast lived through it.

Ok, so a few months ago I brewed a Hefe Wizen. Long story short, I left 1/2 to 1 gal of one step in the bottom of the fermenter when I poured in the wort. I realized and piched the yeast. Racked to corny, and put enough gas to seal (as I thought). Ran out of gas and couldnt reseal. The...

BTW... The Grumpys' Belgian Witbier has to sit an extra 2 weeks in the keg after racking, despite the fact that they say "best when young and fresh" it was soooo much better after waiting.

Flickr is a little weird with picture hosting, you have to delete the "?v=0" at the end of the link... BTW...thats what my setup looks like, works good too! I just used tubing, no racking cane. good call on the cane!

Mine is in the secondary.... Friday ill be transferring 1 gal. of it and adding the oak chips/ kona coffee to the 1 gal. test batch. I can't wait to try either.

These are my last two brews... Im drinking the witbier, and tasted the pumpkin ale (uncarb'ed) The witbier pretty much tasted exactly like blue moon. The pumpkin ale is awesome! its a mildly dark color, and has a nice sweet aftertaste. a few things I did diffrent with the pumkin ale: 1 - I...

This commercial??

That's ^ a sweet setup... mabye ill build that instead of the counter pressure filler.

I just recieved an e-mail from Keystone home brew supply.. I have never herd of these hops, does anyone have any experience with them? I may have to pick up an oz. or two next time im there... from my email... NEW U.S. HOP VARIETY  MT. RAINIER We now have a brand new hop variety in stock...

I have poured beer from a corny into bottles with good results. So far a week has gone by and the bottles seem to have retained carb. I just lowered the pressure on the keg (1-5psi) just enough to let the beer come out of the hose (no valve at all) I am going to set up a counter pressure...

This is very true, but also recently (past 2 years) almost everything with a buy it now will cost you +$20 because of the new "fad" in inflated shipping charges. A few years back my friends jokingly called me 'the king of eBay' because I turned there for everything Recently I will only look...

I can give you my opinion on two things... As far as I know a carboy cap really does work (for siphoning)... but I have never used one, instead I bought an auto-siphon. Best $9 I ever spent. I figured it will work better for when I use buckets insted of carboys. The carboy handle. I...

This link may aid you in your decision on what veriety to grow. :ban:

No lid... unless it's snowing (or raining) then I just plop it on there with no notches.

That second link is a real good one... Thanks I was looking for good washing instructions last week :mug:

I also brewed mine yesterday.... it is in very active fermentation, most out of all of my brews.. I already fitted it with a blow off tube, to prevent any mishaps. I made the AG version, and tweeked the recipie a bit... Here is what I did: Grains: 6 lbs. American 2-row America (im new to AG)...

I stopped there over the summer, they have very tasty brews! And the food was awesome too!! I don't remember which beers I had, but Ill be making a trip up there soon for more.
