um... i don't know. looks like whole pieces of barley... homebrew grade. ALSO, i've got all this older homebrew sugar and mr beer booster crap... how long is that stuff good for? I think I may try the cinnamon and barley unless someone things barley would be a bad move... and i guess not irish...

Mr Beer Irish Stout Refill Pack Gypsum Irish Moss Barley Caramime? Caramide? Cinnamon Coriander Ok folks, what can i do with this? I'm thinking at least the cinnamon and maybe the barley? not sure what you do with gypsum and irish moss.

Hey, building my kegerator. The friggin cornstarch thing isn't working for me. I've read enough about these fridges where it seems like I can just trust that if I drill a 2.5" in the center of the plastic top straight down I'll be fine. The freon line is like 7-8" from the back? Um, do I have to...

ah. perfect! wish i had the equipment to do a full wort boil and a wort chiller but this will have to do until i get more pro.

i'm confused how to sanitize the cold water? if all my equipment is sanitized and i'm boiling half the water in the wort and the other half is cold water in the carboy how do i know that the water in the carboy doesnt have bacteria in it without boiling it or something?

so when i go to get the co2 tank filled i need to have the regulator screwed on? on the regulator is clockwise or counterclockwise open up the pressure? would u reccomend just the nylon washers or should i get one of those perma seal ones that screw into the tank with an allen wrench?

Hey, I inherited a bunch of corny keg homebrew stuff... the co2 regulator is the one that has dual pressure gauges sort of looks like this one... http://www.kegkits.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=JO60-2-K44BC&Category_Code=DPReg except the left pressure barb thing is a...

nevermind folks. found someone to trade me to 5# tanks for the 20#

do you use a secondary though? i think the additional time that was discussed here was trying to combine the conditioning and carbing simulataneously...

so is priming your kegs merely for the convenience of not being able to fit all your kegs in the fridge at once and you can have kegs carbonating in line to go in the fridge????

nice... thx for the info. i will surely be back for more once i've got some more stuff together and ready to go!!!!

i noticed that, but i also noticed that the 5lb tanks go for like $70. i inherited this tank and equipment and am just trying to make a kegerator to fit in my living room. can't have a 20lb tank hanging out by the coffee table. i'll see if i can get two 5lb tanks or a 5lb and a 2.5 lb or...

so the extra time won't over carbonate the beer?

nice, i like that... conditioning and carbonating simultaneously. anything to streamline the process and avoid bacteria problems sounds good to me... so can i skip the secondary?

ok, so #3 it is unless armageddon is in less than 24hrs... so, what PSI and Duration do I set it and wait... 10-14 days makes me antsy can we set it at like 20psi or 30psi and be drinkin in a few days?

Hey, new to kegging... and homebrewing in general... and building kegerators so I'm going through a crash course here... wondering what the advantages and disadvantages to the 3 different versions of carbonation that I'm aware of... 1. dump some sugar in the keg to prime it... 2. force carbonate...

hey, so does paying 18 to downgrade from a 20lb tank to a filled 5lb tank at a place that only will do exchanges sound stupid?

woah the austin homebrew clone kits look fun too!

the midwest supplies homebrew kits look a lit less mr. beerish than the coopers kits. anyone use those? those seem straightforward enough because u pay $25, get a box with everything, crush some grains steep boil some stuff, sanitize chuck in fermenter with yeast, wait a few weeks chuck in keg...

not sure if i'll be using extract or not. i'm pretty much gonna roll with whatever people recommend. what's up with the williams brewing kits. those are 30 bux.
