I racked a AHB Bavarian Hefe tonight that I brewed three weeks ago and has hit FG at 1.012. When I was done racking the brew level was right at the top of the keg with almost no headspace. I pulled the valve to clear any O2 and beer came spilling out. Is this ok? I plan on leaving...

I used the boost for the first five batches from Austin and it noticeably was a bit higher, and in a few cases I think compromised the taste. I have two batches (a lager and hefe) I brewed w/o it and will compare. But the Hoegaarden clone was STRONG. I am not going to use it again. ~Diz

This is an update........wow...what a blast. I wrote to each invidual brewery but this is what I wrote to the Oregon Brewers Guild.... Good Evening, I would like to tell you what a great time we had at Zwicklemania yesterday in Portland. My wife said she was booking at weekend in...

So SWMBO said let's go to Portland from Seattle for Presidents weekend. I said sure. I drive, and then get to drink (after we get there). I was looking for anything happening in town as far as concerts, basketball or theater and came across this! A city wide brewery celebration complete with...

So tonight I am going an AHB Bavarian Hefe. I get "everything" out and get started. Wife isn't here to the Maiden is turned up. I steep, I get to a boil I thrown my hops in and after about 30 minutes I notice my wort is really greenish blue. I then realize I forgot to add the malt like an...

I am one of you. I have only been brewing seriously for about a year. And at that only extract. My first brews were from the LBS. Good yes, spectacular no. I bought more equipment and then went to an online supplier with more recipes and my quality went...

Yeah, coming from Wash which isn't cheap, but I was up in Vancouver and to see the prices on a tall can (24oz) at $5. And furthermore each one had a electronic tag on each one for stealing. WoW!!!! I do love Canadian brew....but come on.....

I got in to homebrew about a year ago and she has liked everything so far. She is from Sweden where they 'do it all themselves' from brew to vodka. She asked if there was a hard cider pear kit to purchase? I am just asking b/c it would make my life easy. I have all the homebrew...

I bought this kegerator new at Home Depot 5 yrs ago. I bought this to drink nothing but BMC, but now lager and have a corny in there too. Anyway, for the last couple of weeks whenever the compressor comes on it is a loud whine.... How do I get this serviced? Temps are still good...

and when the sliding doors off of the kitchen were pulled and the kegerator with a fresh Stella clone fermenting got noticed....the bill went down. Saving money by drinking beer.... ~Diz

That seems a bit warm. I brewed two batches on Friday night, one is going and the other isn't showing signs yet. I love this hobby, the time and the waiting....suspenseful!

absolutely Beautifulto watch. My WLP802 Czech Budejovice Lager Yeast is going to work heavily on a Stella Artois clone in my kegerator at 50 degrees. The blowoff tube is nearly full.... Sweet!!! ~Diz

I have about ten extract batches under my belt (waiting for lager yeast to take hold on one of them right now) and am wondering about a good propane burner. I brewed two batches yesterday on my gas stove and realized the longest period I wait is to get from steeping temp to a nice rolling...

I am doing two batches today. First a Stella clone and then an Anchor Steam beer. Can't wait. Steam beer will be for a friend coming in mid Jan and the Stella will lager until mid Feb. Can't wait. ~Diz

My blowoff tube was caked with the good stuff coming out of a 5 gallon carboy and it blew like crazy for two weeks. I have placed it in oxiclean and soaked for over a week and it is still cloudy. Toss it? I have heading to the LHBS tomorrow. I love this hobby. ~Diz

Yes, I have upgraded my Danby kegerator with an accurate temp control.

And I can't wait to brew this weekend. Four days to eat, brew and party. My brother in law is deep frying the Turkey, and I was going to ask him if I could borrow the burner for brewing to see if the $70 would be worth it to brew, but he told me he has an electric burner. Wamp wamp wamp. I...

Ok, I might be a total ******* here.... I ordered a Stella Clone and another lager from AHB. I was under the impression that I could use my Danby Kegerator as a lager fermenter, but after reading a few threads I am a bit concerned. A fluxuating temp kegerator has to be just as good as...

Yah I just did a sour Weiss with new beer lines. Don't know what happened.

I followed the instructions and from my notes didn't have anything go wrong. I had to toss a previous batch of this b/c my spigot cracked and left me with about a gallon left (the rest on the floor). But the color of what I tossed smelt and looked great. I added the alcohol boost packet to...
