What's Brewing

Just Saw this thread. There's some great shops down here now. "The Krawl" just off Duval on Southard St. "The Porch" on Duval and Caroline. Key West Home Brew just off Duval on Appelrouth Lane.

They don't drink too much anyway.

Dude, are a Honey Badger of brewing. That is way cool!

If you want the shop to be open when you need just one little thing, you should probably shop there enough to make sure they stay open. There's more to the local shop than just price. There's advice, gossip, new ideas, recipes, etc. The nearest home brew shop to me (Key West) was nearly 225...

We just brewed a batch of Mr. Beer that we got on a super sale price. The malt and sugar came with a package labeld "No Rinse Sanitizer". We were too scared to use it. Anybode know what that is? Also, I have always sanatized with bleach. Everyone always tells me that's bad. What's Quat?

Just entered our latest IPA recipe into the Key West Brew Fest (this Labor Day). It is the Wood's Wall, NE 15-20, Voyage Strength IPA. Until we got central AC the only thing we could brew in KW was IPA because of the high daily temp fluctuations.

Yeah Brother take what you can get. We just brewed a "NE 15-20, Voyage-Strength IPA" with my Bro's Illinois homegrown. Homegrown hops in Key West, that's a treat! - Home Brewing in Key West

It is, of course, personal preference. There are 6.5 gal carboys. You can also just blowoff a 5 gal. It works wonderfully. The bucket with a plastic "burping" bag works just fine as well. The key is two-fold, making beer and not worrying. -Home Brewing in Key West

Oops and also an airlock, if you don't have one. You're looking at a $6 or 7 investment on this one.

You need some food grade tubing and a drilled bung. Both are easily abtained at a local home brew shop or online.

I would definitely check the ph. Also give a taste. If its good rack it off the leese and get ready to bottle.

The deluxe kit is a great kit and excellent value.

Glass is still my favorite.

Replace the bucket. The bacteria can really degrade the taste of your beer. You may also consider racking into another carboy and bottleing out of it using a siphon and a bottle filler. This makes for very little mess.

I use four or five feet and run it into a bucket of water. I find the more grains or yeast or hops that gets through the strainer the more blowoff I get
