I store my kegs with one gallon of sanitized water in them. When I blow a keg I hook up an empty keg, open the faucet, and run it until the water has flushed the system and the lines. Then I disconnect the keg and turn off the gas to that line.

Mine was fine. No carry over flavors.

I sanitize my 5 gal fermenters with a cap full of bleach and fill them up. Good rinse and they are good to go. I never never ever let soap touch anything related to beer. Not any bottles not any brew equipment. Nothing. I use star-san in a spray bottle to spot sanitize anything and anything I...

All beer is “healthy” to drink. Pathogens that are capable of making humans ill can’t survive in the Ph of beer.

Your 1/4 of sugar caramelized.

I have one faucet for nitrogen and/or stouts. It is complete with no missing parts (aeration disk and such). It isn’t new and it isn’t perfect. $30 and you pay the shipping from SW Missouri. I have no idea how much that will be until it’s boxed up and ready to ship. Email any questions...

I’m a solitary brewer. I don’t like to get sidetracked when I brew and just because I love to brew beer doesn’t mean I want to stand around for five hours talking about it. A lot of the time I’m brewing an order some one placed so I have to be on my game every brew.

I save a ton of money. Including all the extra stuff like propane it cost me about 30 bucks to brew a five gallon batch. All grain w/mashing and sparging. I don’t buy in bulk. I don’t buy kits. I buy what I need for the batch. But, I built my system. Gauges and valves is all I bought.

I don't enter any competition I can't attend. Mixing and mingling is part of the experience. Some of the best advice I have gotten came from brewers ( not all of it just some). I prefer receiving my information from the judges face to face.

Allspice is strong. Small, small, and small amounts. May be crush one or two of the kernels. Cinnamon is best if you grind sticks just before usage. Spices like these work best in the last 10 or 15 minutes of the boil.

I like the buckets. Not as sensitive to light. Pull the stopper and peek in.

I make a lot of beers with fruit in them. Two things I never change: 1) pound of fresh fruit for every gallon of beer. 2) I always add the fruit to the secondary. If it is high in seeds or high in pulp I include a third stage.

It's $28.00 for 20 pounds of co2 from Airgas or Praxair. It is a tank exchange. They don't care where you got the tank. All they care about is having them hydro tested every five years. They do that.

The tallgrass oasis, tallgrass ipa, and anything from Mothers brewery.

Two of my three children have a beer palet. The middle child in med school, 26, loves a good porter and stout. Youngest, 22, helps me brew sometimes and likes good beer.

The in and out ports on single body regulators are made so you can daisy chain regulators. Just get a second regulator and plumb them together.

I have about 30 of them all from restaraunts that went out of business. Coca-cola is forcing everyone to switch over to bag-in-the-box so your local Coca-cola bottler/plant will sell them to you buy the truck load.

It's happened to me and my beer came out fine. I did wind up putting A skirt around the burner and screwing it to the burner frame. It made an awesome wind block.
