I reuse growler caps all the time, although when I fill them off my keezer there generally consumed within a couple days.

I made a frame out of 1 x 1 pine and placed two slats on either end of the frame and used a 30 lb. double sided tape and attached to my keezer. Stained and urethaned it to match the collar, the drip tray pops out easily to clean.

I am looking for an Allagash White recipe, I have read the thread on here. I was wondering if someone has made this and they feel good about the hop schedule and spices. From what I have read it sounds like the grain bill is pretty solid.

I am going to make a mosiac pale ale this weekend and I am looking for some feed back, I am a little concerned about using 100% mosiac hops. Should I use a cascade or a citra as the bittering hops? From what I have read this should have a fruity aroma and flavor. This is going to be a 5.5...

I just kegged my second Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ale of the season this morning, the pumpkin pie flavor is a little weak. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and 4 cloves with 5 minutes left in the boil. I tinctured 3 vanilla beans in vodka for 2 weeks and added when kegged. I also...

Thanks for all the replies, I will be making this beer this weekend as it is written.

My home brew shop is part of a brewery so I buy my supplies and have a beer. It makes the 30 minute drive well worth it.

Any advice on what oak chips or cubes to use? My wife isn't a big fan of bourbon so I don't want to over do the bourbon or the oak. By the way the recipe looks great, thanks.
