    How old is too old?

    I've got a case of Samichlaus that was bottled in 1995. Have I waited too long to drink it? Am I sitting on a gold mine? Any thoughts or questions are gladly accepted!

    I'm a little pissed!

    Stay with me on this one, its kind of a long story. Back in May, a feral cat gave birth to a litter of kittens in the back yard of my shop. My boss said "shoot them", which wasn't feasible due to the neighborhood, so I called the county animal control folks, and they kindly dropped off a...

    ARRGH! Gas leaks!

    I'm trying to set up my keg system, and can't find the leaks! I bought 4 used cornies, replaced all the o-rings, lubed up, and when I turn off the gas at the tank, the line pressure drops to nothing. When disconnected from the kegs, the lines & fittings hold pressure. I've submerged the kegs...

    Kegerator stuff

    I'm building my first kegerator, and during my search for parts, I've acquired three extra 20lb Co2 tanks, three sanke taps, and two Co2 regulators.(one rebuilt, one old and nasty) I'm in need of two or four perlick forward-seal faucets, and am wondering if anyone wants to work a trade?

    Another infection question

    I've had this Blue Moon clone in secondary for ten days, just checked on it today, and saw tiny white spots on the surface. There's condensation on the sides of the carboy, so I took pics through the top... But I can't upload them until my membership upgrade is processed. The spots are opaque...

    Sam Adams Utopia

    :::WARNING DRUNK POST::: I'm unable to get my hands on a bottle of the Utopias, 'cause it's illegal to sell in FL. Who's got a bottle and would help a brother out? F*ck a bunch of statutes, I'll wire the f*cking cash! PM me, 'k?

    Apfelwein+temp?

    I (rather enthusiastically) started my batch of Ed Wort's Apfelwein, but the first 4 days were fermenting at a high temp, around 75 or 80 degrees. The temp controller finally came, and I've cooled the carboy down to 72. What issues can I expect? This appears to be a very popular concoction...

    Dusty boil

    No matter how carefully I adjust the mill rollers at my LBS, I still get dust in the grain sack,which then ends up in the brewpot. I've read that boiling the grain is bad for flavor, so how can I (or should I- does it matter?) remove the dust before steeping? Thanks in advance!

    Greetings from sunny Florida!

    Greetings and Salutations to all! I'm an extremely curious, relatively experienced, mostly extract/partial mash brewer. I've just gotten back into the craft after a 4 year hiatus caused by a lack of space in the apt. I was living in. Now I have a new SWMBO who is not only supportive, but...
