    Cost for welder to weld kegs?

    Most shops will probably be charging you at least $60/hour to do the work. Figure for more ($60 is a bit low from what I've seen). This rate goes up with any more difficult work or if you need anything fabbed or machined. Welding ain't exactly the quickest process in the world...

    So apparently I am an ash hole...

    This is why I hate talking to people about stuff I know at parties and what not. I either have to dumb everything down, or bite my tongue when someone pretends to know something about it... And the ******* inside me just won't let that happen. It is refreshing when I find someone that either...

    What To Do With Too Sweet Beer

    I was thinking of mixing it with another much dryer stout...might give that a go.

    What To Do With Too Sweet Beer

    It finished at 1.020...is that enough for any considerable fermentation to happen?

    What To Do With Too Sweet Beer

    Brewed a dry/oatmeal stout and it's finally "done". I had some issues with it (what appeared to be an infection ended the primary ferm short), so I knew it would never be a "good" beer. Beyond the primary issues I also didn't aerate it quite well enough so it stopped at 1.020. Anyways, the...

    Honey-wheat ale looks rusty

    Wait and see what it looks like in a glass, and after it's cleared a bit.

    Beer and guns

    Keep the ammo separate in the vehicle and you will be fine, no need for a second trip.

    Beer and guns

    What state are you in? Gun laws vary wildly by state, and in some states having an uncased firearm in your backseat is a no-no (and a felony in some cases). Make sure you're doing it correctly. If you're in Michigan, let me know...I know all the laws and then some (I'm a federally licensed...

    So What Infection Did I Get?

    Looks like my stout got sick a few days ago. It had been in primary for about 2 weeks. I believe something wasn't sanitized correctly when I took the last sample...oops. It was pretty quiet until a few days ago when things started bubbling again. I tried to get a picture of the critters but...

    Nutritious Beer?

    Alcohol has been shown to be good for your heart, and can raise good cholesterol. In moderation, of course.

    My Porter is flat, should it be?

    This is how I usually do it. It always ends up overcarbed (to me) when I shake it. I don't like a ton of carbonation in my drinks, though. I set it at 25-30 psi, let it sit for about a day, then back down to serving pressure. If it's not quite where I want it I'll bump it up a few psi and...

    Always clean your mash tun immediately after brewing

    I tossed a large grain bag full of about 5-6 pounds of various (spent) grain right into my garbage can once. Didn't really think about putting it in a plastic bag or anything. Went out several days later to toss in some more garbage (this was in the summer, so it was quite warm) and thought I...

    Brewing Lagers In Corny Keg And Small Freezer

    I'd REALLY like to get into brewing lagers. The primary issue right now is that I don't have a ton of places to keep things cool. I have a couple fridges but most are full and can really only be used to serve, not ferment or lager. I did just come across a small chest freezer in the corner of...

    Dry Hopping (or other post fermentation additions) - Why No Stirring?

    I'm curious, why is stirring the beer not required when dry hopping, or adding other ingredients like vanilla beans or other solids? When I added my vanilla into my keg, I dunked it a few times with a sanitized racking cane, but have otherwise left it alone. Obviously, after a few days I have...

    Not a happy customer!!

    Crap like this is why I NEVER do sales at my business. It's not worth the hassle, too many people get greedy and want more more MORE. They missed out by a week and if you don't give them a couple bucks back they'll go tell the internet how awful you are and how much your business sucks. Good...

    And the worst beer of all times award goes to...

    Bud Lite Lima-A-Rita is by far the worst. It's one of the few beers that I just straight up CAN'T drink. I can pound a bud lite or whatever else no problem...I won't enjoy it but I can do it...that Lime a Rita crap? NOPE.

    culinary adventures

    Sea Urchin (uni). It wasn't so much the taste as the consistency and texture. It filled my mouth immediately upon insertion, and just overpowered my senses. I almost didn't keep it down.

    How many kegs?

    I have 7, but only 2 are in working order. The others need seals and/or missing parts to get working. I'd hold onto the kegs. I only see the prices rising on them. If you don't end up needing them, you can probably get some decent coin for them in a while.

    Finally beer on tap. Suck it bottles! My Red Bull Can Fridge Build - The Canorator

    Did you modify the bottom in any way? I have a similar Rockstar cooler, but it's just a bit too short. Like literally less then an inch. I'd have to do up a new lid to make it work, as the keg is basically sitting in the motor as is...or find some way to relocate parts so the keg sits in there...

    best beer you have ever tasted

    Yuengling Lager for me. But probably just because we don't really get it here in Michigan, and when I went to Pennsylvania a while back I made a point to have it...it was quite fantastic, and very satisfying. I'm sure if it were widely available here my pick might be different...but it's not. I...
