So at a recent event for my company, I brought some homebrew and a few commercial kegs. Long story short, I had about a half of a 1/2 barrel keg of Perennial Artisan Ales' Southside Blonde left at the end of the night. It has now been in the back of my SUV for about 3 weeks with temperatures...

So I have only ever made grape wines from kits, so bare with me here. I just ordered multiple cans of fruit purees from Vintner's Harvest for a Berlinner Weisse I am split batching. However, since they come in cans of 3 lbs each, I am going to be left with some extras. I thought about adding...

I've been brewing for 5 years and just made my first lager... A quick rundown. I'm making an American Lager. I decided on a whim to extend my brew day. I grabbed some extra grain and made a standard recipe. I did a bunch of research on how the lagering process should go, but little on...

So I am having a very odd/specific problem. I have a 10lb CO2 tank that feeds into two kegs through this exact system: http://www.northernbrewer.com/draft-brewer-dual-keg-system-new-ball-lock-w-manifold Obviously, a 10lb tank should last a long time on two kegs... However, I have had to...

So... I got busy and left a Chocolate Milk Stout (with cocoa powder) in the secondary for a few months. No big deal, I take a look at it every week or so. Anyway, one day, I look and the airlock is dried out, so I fill it up. It could not have been more than a week. While filling it up , I...

I converted my own mash tun. I however just noticed that the lock nut has a greenish corrosion and am worried it will effect the beer. Should I replace it with something that won't do that or am I worrying for nothing? As you can see, it is the only piece doing that. The problem is, that nut...

Warning, if you don't want to read my story, skip to the question at the bottom. Thanks for your help! A while back, I brewed my "Windrunner Saison," which is a favorite of mine and everyone else who partakes of my homebrew. Liking it as I do, I decided to brew 20 gallons instead of 5...

Some quick background... I've been brewing my Windrunner Saison now for a while. It was the first Beer I really dialed in and made consistent. It's very close to Surly CynicAle, about 6.3% though so a tiny bit lighter. My friends can't get enough of it and neither can I. This summer (Mid July...

Alright, I'm sorry. That was harsh. I chose that title to get all the mead lovers in here, ready to fight me about it. Here is what the title should have said, "I haven't made a mead that people LOVE yet. My beers and my Apfelwein (edworts rather) are loved by the masses in my life, but my...

One of my favorite local breweries here in St Louis just got featured in a YouTube series. They go behind the scenes, talk to the owner (Jake, great guy) and the brewmaster (Dylan, LOVES to talk about beer). The video is a cool look at a smaller brewery's process. The uncut version features...

As of today, I've been brewing for two years. Happy Anniversary to me! I brew all the time (Partial mash always, but I now have the set up for all grain). Literally everything I've made this last year has been a hit. My craft beer/homebrew buddies can't wait to try my next batch every time I...

6 months ago, I made a wonderful saison that was completely fermented with Brett (5526) and bottle dregs from a few sours. It's not only my favorite beer I've ever brewed but one of my favorite I've ever drank. Awesome brett character and a little tart at this point. My issue is that there...

I put too much priming sugar in my brown this time around and so I checked it at two days and the bottle I checked is fully carved where I want it . Is it safe to go ahead and assume they are all at the same level? I checked a 12 oz bottle but have bombers as well. If so, I'm going to throw them...

I'm in St Louis so I have a lot of local and distributed beers here too. I am looking for: Surly Abrasive Surly Overrated Heady RR Temptation, supplication, consecration Speedway stout Rare stuff or make a good offer.. I'm down to add in local brews on both sides as well. I have...

Be warned. This is my first trade on homebrewtalk but Im legit. I am looking for Surly or Dogfish head or anything else that rocks that I cant get around here. I can also get any local st louis brews like 4 hands, 2nd shift, schlafly, urban chestnut, etc. I picked up a bunch of enjoyby...

Has anyone tried this? I just saw it in my local beerstore. I think I'll try to find it in a bar to try it before I buy a bottle unless I find out that it is awesome from you folks!

Anyone with a sweet tooth munch on candi sugar from time to time?

Would this work for normal carbonation? I have some left over and thought about using them.
