Hey, It's been a while since I've posted, but I came across this on Digg today and it kind of surprised me. Some guy built what he calls "The Device" which supposedly "makes beer with the touch of a few buttons and knobs." Personally, I enjoy the process of making beer, but I clicked the link...

Hey all, I just tapped my third AG brew this past weekend, but noticed some off flavors. I was shooting for a Munich Helles similar to Spaten Premium, but ended up with a slightly lighter colored beer that has an aftertaste that reminds me of corn chips. Like stale fritos or something. It's...

Hey All, My porter tap finally dried up so I plan on brewing again this weekend. (My Hefe is still on tap so I won't be going dry just yet). I want to try a lager this time now that I have the means. I'm planning an AG Spaten Munich clone (from Clonebrews). Since I've never lagered before...

Am I retarded or are there certain beers you can't pour a black & tan with? I currently have an all-grain version of Walker's Holy Grail Porter on tap (which is delicious), but when I try to use my Lagerhead Brutul to pour a proper black & tan it slowly drops into the lighter beer. I've tried...

Question for the masses: It's currently 39 degrees here in Omaha and I'm attempting an AG porter. My cooler seems to be failing at maintaining a temp. I hit 152 dead on, then 5 mins later it dropped to 149. So I heated up a half gallon to about 190 and dumped it in, right back to 152. Now...

I had my first big loss this last weekend. I'm still a little broken up about it. I have a double tower tap system that I've been working on the last few months. I've had a Hefeweizen on tap for a couple weeks now and loving it. Well, Friday I tapped what was supposed to be my House Ale (a...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15642039/ I'm not sure I agree with Mexico City making the list, although that might have more to do with my not liking mexican beers (with the exception of Negra Modelo).

I just got my kegging system up, and off topic am LOVING it, but I still wish to bottle a 6-pack now and then. I don't wish to invest in a beer gun or other counterpressure fillers as they are a little pricey for the little I would use them. I remembered someone mentioning a product called...

Hey all, I only ask this because I've googled and can't seem to find any information. Has anyone built a keggerator out of a Magic Chef 440YW 4.4 cu ft fridge? There is one listed locally for sale, but I can't find any info about where the compressor is located, if there's a freezer portion...

My first AG batch is bubbling away in the primary as we speak. It smells delicious and I have no doubt I'll love it (like all my hoppy children), but I screwed up a few things and have a few questions. First the process: I started with a 100qt cooler fitted with the typical hosebraid filter...

Hey all, This is more a freezer question than a beer question, but I don't know of any GE Hotpoint forums. I recently inherited a modified GE Hotpoint chest freezer converted keggerator from a friend. I had to do a minor fix to get it to power on initially (removed the built-in thermostat)...

Hey all, I just built my MLT last night following the common 50qt rectangular cooler and the hosebraid filter method. I also just got my dual-tap keggerator setup. My plan is to have 1 tap dedicated to "seasonal beers" or whatever I felt like making at the moment and have the other always...

So after a pretty messy boil over yesterday I let my aluminum brew pot soak in b-brite cleanser for a couple hours. Before doing so I even searched online and found this quote on http://www.eckraus.com/PS340.html Sounds like it should work fine. Well 2 hours later I return to find this. <img...

I just read this on the morebeer.com website: Is this the case with all regulators or just theirs?

Thanks to my buddy moving in with his girlfriend I have acquired his old keggerator.:rockin: It is currently setup to dispense commercial kegs. What all will have to be converted in order to connect to cornelius kegs? [Edited for clarity]

A little over a month ago my friend and I decided to have a "beeroff" which would be judged by our friends. The only rules were that were were not allowed to use a recipe. Hence the ExperimentAle in my sig. Well the time has come and although I enjoy my beer, I'm not predicting a victory...

I plan on brewing this John Bull London Porter extract kit when my 'experiment' beer finishes in the secondary. My question is whether I should try to recycle the yeast from the experiment beer or use the mystery yeast packaged with the kit. I'm not thrilled about the fact that it's a...

Sorry for the amount of questions this past week, but everyone's been so helpful. My current problem is as follows... After 4 days in the primary the bubbling slowed down to < 1/min. I decided to rack to the secondary. While racking, I checked the SG and found that despite bubbling heavily...

I plan on purchasing a carboy on my way home from work tonight to use as a secondary. I can't decide what size to get. For the purpose of a secondary I'm thinking 5Gal, but I might want to use it as a primary at some point which has me leaning towards the 6~6.5Gal. How big of a difference...

Has anyone ever tried to clone Yuengling's Black & Tan? I realize this probably requires 2 batches as it is a mix of their porter and premium (pilsener) beer. I was just wondering if it would make sense to brew a porter, ferment, then rack 50/50 into separate secondaries and start over with...
