While home distilling is dangerous and illegal, home brewing is relatively safe and extremely fun! Welcome to the forums.

So do I make a starter with wort from DME and add this to it or do I dump it straight into the 5 gallon batch? I'm reading both...

This is a helpful thread indeed. Thank you indeed.

I see lots of people posting pictures of "washed" yeast and collected trub mixture. This is from the bottom of my oatmeal stout. I have a few other jars from an American Brown Ale and it looks identical. All the other pictures I've seen have a considerable amount of beer on top and just a bit...

I just had the SAME issue. FG was 1.020 and I kegged it after three days of no change. Taste fine but just a TOUCH of sweet right up front but after the second glass, can't even tell.

Keep refilling it. What is the temperature where you are fermenting?

Thanks. This is what I needed to know. I wanted a minimum of 3 - 4 kegs so I guess it is safe to say I need to get a 7-cu ft. Just weird that all the other 5 cu ft hold 3 on the specs sheet.

I saw this at Walmart for $124 and was curious if anyone has any info on it. Will this fit three ball corny kegs? They are all closed in their shipping boxes so I am unable to bring in a card board cutout. Thanks in advanced.

Gingerbread Brown Ale

Good to know. I am planing a trip to Indy to pick up 5 batches and will be experimenting soon. Thanks for the reply.

So I may be confused. On Thursday, I took 1 full cup of DME and mixed it with 1500ml of water. I boiled this for 10 minutes and then poured into my beaker and chilled to 65 degrees. I then opened the packet of US-05 and dumped it in. I then sat it on my stir plate and let it spin until this...

Thanks. So it was the $20 extract batch (figured I couldn't go wrong for that price). I have done extract batches before and come pretty close to OG per manufacturer recommended numbers. This was off and had to ask. Thanks for the reply. @Gavin C: I did not realize starting up dry yeast was a...

I brewed a Holiday Gingerbread Brown Ale from AIH. OG was supposed to be 1.045 (as per the label) and it came in at 1.035? I have a 2L starter with one full cup of pale DME with my yeast US-05 that I pitched at 65 degrees. WHAT DOES this mean when it comes to missing my original gravity and...

See ya in 2 weeks!:):tank:

Or a screwdriver...

Welcome fellow Indiana friend! I also enjoy lots of cigars; Fuentes/Opus X, Padrons, Ashtons and many Cubans. I can't afford to gold though with my existing hobbies. I tend to brew the darker beers, stouts and brown ales as they fit the style I smoke and drink. I have inlaws in the Ft. Wayne...

Yeast started and READY to go for a holiday gingerbread, spice brown ale. Will be starting this as soon as I get back from the store with my new freezer, black appliance paint and lumber.

Center pull for my soon to be keezer...

It's the one from Sam's Club. The model number was HF71CL53NW. After looking up the one you posted, it seems like this one is a tiny bit bigger. Dimensions (WxDxH): 39.2'' x 23'' x 34.6'' The model# you posted specd Product in Inches (L x W x H): 22.06 x 37.0 x 33.25 Edit: Added Dimensions

Anyone make a keezer out of this? If so, how many kegs did you fit in it and what kind of collar was on it? Thanks in advanced! =)
