I am selling my 8 Tap Keezer. It needs some TLC to bring it back to its former glory, I don't have the time or desire anymore as I have downsized to a 3 tap system. I built this awhile back when I found a local bar selling the professional grade 8-tap tower. It has been sitting unused for some...

I sort of fell off the face of the earth with brewing beer about 2-3 years ago. Family and work took over my life and my hobbies were put on the back burner. Finally am getting back into brewing again and am afraid I neglected my equipment for too long. I have a kegerator that ended up...

I brewed a wheat beer a while back and apparently added to much hops. I was thinking of possibly adding about 1.75 cups of honey to the keg (5 gallons still left) to try and make it a honey wheat and balance out the bitterness. Is it to late in the game to try this? How can I get the honey to...

Here's an English IPA recipe that I created to use up my East Kent Goldings. I am still really new to this especially recipe creation so suggestions, comments or even tell me "Your a freaking idiot!" is all welcome, thanks. Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size: 6.30 gal Boil...

I picked up an 8 tap tower last weekend from a bar, I have a very understanding SWMBO!!! My friends, relatives, coworkers and neighbors all think I am a bit nuts and I am starting to think so too. Somebody once said "Go big or go home" ....and with that said it's finally time to start my...

I have been trying to get a draft tower for my keezer and I came across this one. Asking price $485, I offered him $350 and he said yes if I pick it up today. Let me now your thoughts. Professional Bar Multiplex Brass 8 Faucet "T" Tower Beer Dispenser Tap- Manufactured by Banner Equipment...

I checked out my hops plants yesterday and noticed they were starting to brown, some were already totally brown. So today I decided to pick them, the odd thing is most of them are not even full size. I was afraid that if I didn't I would lose them all to turning brown. These are first year...

I left my Anchor Steam clone in the primary for 7 weeks, (have been extremely busy and just plain lazy). Last night I decided to just keg it and skip the secondary. What kind of off-flavors should I be looking for from sitting on the yeast cake for so long?

So, my SWMBO works with a guy whom is on a board for an Aicardi Syndrome Foundation and we got invited to a benefit Beer and Wine Tasting event. Usually I hate going to SWMBO’s work functions but this sounded right up my alley. Below is the list of brews available for the tasting, the ones...

Help For my Mash Tun project I bought a couple ball valves from Home Depot, I was in a hurry and did not realize that they were labeled to be used for Gas. Can I still use these or do I need to return them. I am planning on using one on the Mash Tun and one for my Hot water kettle.

Finally getting my equipment together for AG. I started working on my mash tun. Picked up a 70 Qt Colemann Extreme cooler from Walmart. Copper and CPVC fittings and in the back my ghetto homemade mach paddle. Put together the ends for the wort extractor. Because of the T's I was...

Finally getting my AG setup put together and for the first brew we are going to try making two beers, one being a small beer. My brewing partner has done some PMs before but never a full AG. We thought about just making 10 gallons to split between us but then decided that we actually wanted...

We have had a pretty crazy winter this year, tons of snow and lots of extremely cold days. Since I am new to kegging I don't have a kegerator yet so I just store the keg in the garage. With a few really cold nights my keg froze, some beer even foamed up and came out of the valve. After the...

Has anyone tried the following kit/recipe from Northern Brewing. I am looking into doing an IPA and thought it would be kind of fun to have an organic brew. Organic IPA Extract Kit O.G: 1063 / Ready: 2 months A full-bodied and hoppy English-style IPA that strikes a balance between...

Woohoo!!! Another great reason to keep drinking beer. http://www.wftv.com/health/15021392/detail.html :mug:

So I kegged my Weis beer Sunday morning and set it up for force carbonation. This is my first time kegging so I am a bit confused. I did a lot of searching this forum and the web and have found different ways to perform this. The part that most worried me was the equilibrum calculator. I...

Last weekend I wasn't thinking (to excited about brewing again) and racked my Weis beer into the Secondary. It is looking awfully clear in the carboy. Should I just wait another week (1.2.3 rule) before I bottle or should I get it into bottles right away to hopefully stop the clearing?

I'm legit!!

When I got home from work today I was going through our pantry and found hidden way in the back corner a bottle from an Irish Coffee Stout I made back in 2002.:rockin: Right away I put it in the fridge to cool because I knew there was no way that I would just dump it out thinking it was bad...

While I was boiling my wort for my Belgian this weekend I noticed I was about to have a boil over and my piece of wood that holds the string for the hops bag out of the wort had moved and dropped into the wort. At most I am guessing it was in there for no longer than 1-2 minutes. Is this going...
