Its supposed to be consumed in small amounts (2 oz or so) at a time. Im sure some of the nice bars might carry it behind the counter and would probably cost you a little more than a shot.

Ill tell you what I learned about sparging yesterday during my first AG brew. I was making a 5 gallon batch (6.5 collected for the brew pot) of Biermuchers Centennial Blonde. My cooler MLT is probably way too big and my grain bed not nearly deep enough for a single batch sparge. I was able to...

Very nice explosion you have there. It looks like something from a horror movie! Wait...it is a horror....all that poor beer...

Are you sure the pots are rusted? Aluminum is non-ferrous and cannot rust. If they are rusted then you probably have steel pots. Try giving them a good soak in some sort of degreaser to get the fryer oil off and then wash with PBW or Oxyclean Free. As for the stands as long as its just...

:cross: ^That about sums it up.

What would you want for the valves (if you have any more) that are pictured in the first post?

I see three good pieces of advice up there. 1) Shoot it with some CO2, there was no reason to dump it. 2) Bottle it if you cant keg it properly 3) Follow the directions next time and you will be less likely to have problems ........ All fermenting problems aside, in the future, if you put...

I just did a Brewers Best kit (my first) three weeks ago. I did not re-hydrate the yeast and within 12 hours it was happily bubbling along. All is well, after all, its what the instructions said to do. RDWHAHB!

Thats a purty CO2 tank they gave ya!

You might also want to see how your municipality charges for water. Here in Toledo we get a general sewage fee which is applied to "single family structures". The water is a little bit more funky though. We can use up to 'x' cubic feet for a set rate. If we use less we still get charged for...

My first batch two weeks ago ended up having some hop material transferred into the carboy. I saw it in the krauzen when it was up really high. Now that it has fallen the hops are somewhere in there and man do they smell nice! I cant wait to get this one kegged up!

My brew pot doesnt fit all the way into the sink so I can use the dish sprayer do-dad to circulate cold water around and under the pot. This is especially helpful after all my ice has melted.

From the sticky: "It will become cloudy in a couple of days and remain so for a few weeks. In the 4th week, the yeast will begin to drop out and it will become clear. After at least 4 weeks, you can keg or bottle, but it is ok to leave it in the carboy for another month or so. Racking to a...

Just turn up the gas until it begins hissing. That is the pressure it is set for. My regulators from KegConnection came set up for 60 PSI.

Welcome, there is lots to be seen and learned here. I live in Toledo too!

I know that its still cooling properly. Its was just very inconsistent with regular food in it. It loved to freeze vegetables like lettuce and on rare occasions carrots too. Now that I got the kegs put in and Im looking at it it was probably just the way the crisper was positioned next to the...

Thanks for the responses. UPS is dropping off the kegs today so when they get here Im off to the LHBS to snag some ingredients and a root beer extract. I think Im going to go put the doors back on and see how cold it goes before I go hacking it apart. Thanks for the storage idea David_42...

I have a question for some of you knowledgeable folks, but first a little back story. I had to replace our fridge this spring not because it was letting food spoil, no it was freezing it. Its an old side by side and I know I can fit at least 4 corny kegs in the fridge portion and one on the...

I just thought Id throw out my support for Kegconnection. Ive been on the forum reading and reading and reading and just 10 minutes ago purchased my keg kit from them. I cant wait!
