Looking for help with a commercial keg question. My little brother is building a kegerator for commercial kegs and has a nitrogen set up which was obviously based on guinness. He went to order his first keg and had a hick up with the distributor, he wanted draught, they got him extra stout...

I'm hoping someone in the community has the answer I'm looking for. Unfortunately, Google did not, just parts diagrams for the basic stuff. I have an older amana fridge, tz18rl, fridge I'm converting to my next kegerator since the last one died. I'd like to locate the taps of the side rather...

I'll try and keep this short, I just moved from western ny to Virginia. I had to leave behind 2 year golding and mt hood hops, though my buddy should be digging them up soon. Question is, I just got cascade and Columbus rhizomes, but I'm currently at a rental while I transition to a permanent...

i planted two hop rhizomes last year (1 mt. hood, 1 golding) about 6 feet apart and had what i would say was great first year success (1.5 oz, 3.5 oz). so as spring is finally breaking here in buffalo, i wanted to build up my hop garden and possibly incorporate some herbs/spices with the hops...

i thought i'd open up a discussion on storing beer i've made prior to putting it on tap. i started brewing again this fall mainly inspired by my new corny kegerator set up. i acquired and set up a 3 tap set up this fall and immediately put 2 beers on tap and that it was great, well because...

started brewing again and a couple of my beers have had great taste, fine carbonation, but are lacking a great head to them. pretty sure i remember reading once upon a time that there is something that can be added during the boil to increase head retention in the beer. i know grain...

i just learned of a guy at work who has hops growing at his farm house, apparently he bought the house in the last few years and the previous owner had hops planted and they continue to grow. this year the owner can't pick them and thus he offered them to anyone willing to pick them. i...

i brewed an irish ale last october, yes october 2007. racked it to secondary and shortly after that went through a separation. needless to say i fell off the homebrewing wagon and haven't touched anything since. to the point, the ale has been in secondary, in the basement in a secured...

due to unfortunate circumstances (don't ask) i haven't been on here since thanksgiving. back then i remember there being this thread of all threads on making a kegerator out of virtually any fridge known to man. this diy had at least 10 different configurations and write ups, some one really...

i brewed an irish red 2 weeks ago using an extract recipe with grains recipe i developed. i made a starter using an irish ale yeast and set in the basement as i've always done, original gavity was 1.052. i didn't get to rack it to secondary like i wanted to after 1 week due to a travel...

i have about 3 bags/types of grains, precrushed, that are left over from previous brews. as i'm only brewing one batch at time these days, the likelihood of using the grains up in subsequent batchs in a relatively short amount of time (month or less) is probably so i'm wondering what's the best...

just bottled my maple porter yesterday, damn i hate bottling, its so damn tedious and annoying. anyways, a couple hours later everything was said and done, 50 bottles await me. as i was sitting there sanitizing the bottles i started thinking to myself how i was going to go and buy the soda...

this topic indirectly came up in another thread and since i myself have wondered what exactly the differences are, i thought i would post a thread and hopefully gain some knowledge in route to planning my next brew. it was mentioned that a fellow brewer was going to use dark malt extract and...

i have some questions regarding my maple porter i just racked from primary to secondary. first, let me say, i tasted the sample i pulled for the gravity reading and i like it very much, great taste, still has some ways to go, but it taste better at this stage than any other beer i've brewed...

i just brewed a maple porter this past weekend (9/2) and i was looking for some opinions on how long to ferment it. my plan would be to leave it in the primary for roughly 10 days, maybe a few more depending on my schedule, then rack it to secondary and probably go for another 20 days, again...

so i've brewed three batches in my infant career as a homebrewer and the first two were kits so i they came with an estimated alcohol percentage. my third batch was bottled last night and is a custom recipe, stolen from the database, modified slightly. my question is, how do i calculate the...

so yesterday i brewed my first fruit beer using 8+ lbs of cherries. now i'm using a 6.5 gallon fermenting bucket for stage one, but in the interest of avoiding a blow off, i replaced the airlock with a blow off tube. i fit a piece of tubing through the rubber gromet in the lid and fed the...

just heard abou this site from a fellow member, thought i would check in introduce myself. i'm pretty much a beginner, i've brewed 2 kits so far from niagara traditions, the local home brewer store and i'm set to start my first custom recipe this weekend. glad to join the brewing community...
