To skip right to my questions, just scroll down for the bold. About two years ago, I put together a draft system with a single tap for my house. Using quick disconnects, I put it together so I can use either commercial sankey kegs or ball style home brew kegs. So far, I've only used two...

One of my uncles was told by his doctor to quit drinking, diet, or die. He pushed his commercial grade kegerator outside and threw a tarp over it, wisely choosing life! My dad knew my wife and I were getting into home brewing, and suggest I call him and see if he wanted to sell it. My uncle...

I just got an old Perlick kegerator from my uncle thats in a bit of disrepair. Iplan on removing the tower, cleaning it up, and mounting it on my bar. The top and door need replaces, but that looks easy enough as they are made out of partical board. The rest of the kegerator look in decent...

Our beer had been carbing and after three weeks, my fiancee and I opened a bottle to try. I thought it was just ok, and not as carbed as it could be. My fiancee didn't like it and she was worried. Last night, we opened two bottles and it was amazing how much better it tasted with an extra...

Looked around and haven't found a specific answer... The recipe is a creme ale... What's a good temp range to carb our bottles in? Is it ok if there is a flucuation in temps as long as its not too extreme? Also, I know its generally considered risky to carbing in a growler, but who...

My fiancée and I brewed our first batch of beer a couple weeks ago, and bottled it with a priming sugar. It will have been carbonating for 2 weeks as of Feb. 4th. We are going to refrigerate a bottle today to try tonight to see if we can serve it at our supper bowl party. When is too soon to...

We are consistently at 68 degrees, shut the door on the room and put a towel under the door, and the temp went up to 78ish. Is it OK to have temp fluctuations and how much of a temp range is OK?

Hopefully tomorrow, we will be bottling our beer! I just wanted to check to make sure we planned this out right. First, we are going to sterilize our new beer bottles with a mix of bleach water. Is 50/50 OK? Then rinse them in star-San with the bottle caps. Then we will pump some bleach...

Ok, we took a Final Gravity reading today on this recipe: http://www.brewmasterswarehouse.com/recipe/42345095/shoultzmeyer-brewery-dont-call-me-hefe Shoultz-Meyer Brewery Don't call me Hefe Weizen/Weissbier - Extract Ingredients: Briess Bavarian Wheat Liquid Extract 6 lbs, 8 oz...

OK, never used an airlock before. Filled up the two chamber airlock to the 2 fill lines, and stuck it in the hole in the rubber bung. Doing this pushed the star-san from one chamber to the other chamber. Is this a problem or not? Is it something that can be redone. Can the airlock be pulled mid...

So, even though I'm typing this, my fiancee and I are actually "writing" this... We just finished up our first batch of home brew. We made something called "Shoultz-Meyer Brewery Don't Call Me Hefe" using our delux kit from Northern Brewing Company. Briess-Bavarian Wheat Liquid Extract...

Well, my fiancee and I recieved a Nothern Brewer delux home broewing kit for Christmas from her parents, and tomorrow, we are going to both be attending a home brewing class at a local home brew supplier (Brewmasters Warehouse). Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. Can't wait to learn...
