Yah you'd have to be somewhere north of 30,000 ft above sea level to have water boiling at 155 degF... Thermometer(s) to blame most likely.

Good work buddy. Make sure to rinse and then swing the beer racking line possibly all around your head, more or less like a helicopter.

Oh my god. Why did you buy a kegging system and not read about kegging beer beforehand? When you keg there are pretty much three options: 1) put the beer in the keg. pressurize the keg and then quickly carbonate it by shaking it. Co2 will not enter the beer unless it is already cold. But if...

Sounds kind of dumb. I think it makes sense to kind of build up to the making of a really good product. But you'll probably end up with beer nonetheless. Also I'm super f'ick wasted rihgt now.

I'm a doctor

I cut off a two loops of the spring in mine and it seemed to fix the problem.

I also like to watch.

Adding maltodextrin would do it too.

I agree about the pro's of bottling. I've only bottled three 5 gal batches but my time and stress of bottling has gone down significantly after perusing some of the tutorials on here (especially revvy's). I take my brews on the go with me quite a bit to game night, poker night, picnics, etc so a...

I made four crates using this plan, but modified the 10 in 1x2's to 10.5 in to accommodate a few really tall bottles in my collection. I then bumped them down 0.5 in to make the crates stackable. I printed on them using an inkjet printer to wax paper method describe on this blog. It actually...

LOL, when I saw the title I thought of Napoleon Dynamite... Kip: So are you ready? Napoleon: Yeah, hold on... I forgot to put in the crystals. But on a serious note. I'd say we're all still learning-- go for it and add some sugar. Or, you could split the batch at secondary and add...
