I've had luck getting decommissioned kegs from the local distributors in the past.

I just kegged the same kit. I've sampled the pre-carbed beer and like it. I fermented mine in an old fridge at 51deg.

I'm doing my first all grain this weekend using the BIAB method. I have a 1/2 bbl keg i will be cutting the top off of ($30), will be getting some fine mesh material at our local sew shop ($10). the rest of the stuff needed is extract related, spoons, scales, ect. It'll sure be nice not to...

I'm thinking about brewing this next weekend and I dont understand what the golden promise would add. Isn't that a base grain for all-grain brewing? At any rate, my LHBS doesn't carry it, so i'll need an alternate grain anyway, if you have a suggestion.

Heck ya I'll take it!

Awesome. That'll cut some time off of my brewing to boot. Thanks for advice.

If I shut down the boil at 15 mins to add dry extract, when should I restart my boil timer? I've been waiting until after I get a boil to restart the timer, but that adds a few minutes to the total time.

I noticed mine will act plugged if I don't fill it with sanitizer and basically start a siphon when i'm ready to drain the kettle. It has something to do with the fact that my pickup tube runs uphill to my weldless fitting.

I use a spray mop with a white vinegar and warm water mix after I brew. Works well.

Here's what I've come up with. I figured on doing a late extract addition for several reasons, one being that the bittering hops will be in there for a bit longer, and in my head that makes it better ;) Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 7.84 gal Post Boil...

I'm bottling my first mead this weekend and I have a couple questions. First is how high on the bottle do I fill to? My second question is how long should I wait after corking (natural cork, BTW) before I seal some of the bottles with wax?

I brewed this myself 2 months ago. This one really starts tasting good after 6 weeks or so. Mine wound up slightly fruity, but it balanced out nicely.

I've used a bottling bucket for primary before without an issue. The most I had to do was rotate the spout so it wasn't pushed into the ground.

I think what I'll wind up doing is racking onto the juice and give it time then. This is my first mead and the first time I've ever tasted one so green. Could have also seemed sweet due to the 3 glasses of IIPA I had before tasting it :drunk: If it still seems sweet in a month or so I'll try...

first, here's my recipe: 15lb wildflower honey 8lb whole blackberries (which I removed 2 weeks in) cote de blanc yeast I added 1.5tsp DAP to the boil, and also 1 week in, degassing whenever it crossed my mind (3 or 4 times in the 3 weeks of primary) OG was 1.084 Now, I'm wanting to rack...

About 30 minutes into my boil today my POS turkey fryer burner went kaput. I wound up transferring near boiling wort from my keggle to a 6 gal aluminum brew pot (thank you SWMBO for letting my conniption pass without stabbing me). So now I'm without a burner :( Anyone have a suggestion for a...

My favorite is Harp and Guinness. I'm going to have to try Newcastle next time, sounds good.

I used an air (die) grinder on my 1/4 bbl keggle. Don't forget hearing protection. It's a noisy process for sure.
