I'll be kegging for the first time today. I understand i need to fill w/co2 after putting lid on to purge (4-5ish times?) before setting to required carb pressure. Is it best to chill the keg after purging and before hooking to gas for good? I heard this is recommended. thoughts? thanks &...

How do you like it? I'm looking into buying a K309 and I was hoping to get some feedback on it.

I'm planning on purchasing a dual tap kegco k309 kegerator. Does anyone have one or something similar? How do you like it? Also, I'm looking into a couple of NEW ball lock corny kegs. I've got my eye on the Draft Brewer Flex Keg System from Northern (or Midwest) and it comes with a double...

I'm looking at getting a 14 gallon conical and I'm hoping I can get some advice from owners of both Blichmann and SS Technologies fermentors. Theres a pretty big price differential...is Blichmann THAT much better for the money?? I appreciate any and all input on this one. Thanks!

I'm looking for a couple new ball lock cornys. Any good site recommendations? I'm pretty sure I'm getting a 2 line kegco kegerator for them

I plan on getting a couple corny kegs. I've seen some with a metal strap handle and some w/ rubber handles. Can i assume the only advantage to the latter is to protect everything on the top of the keg in case of a drop? thanks!

Looking for a 2 line kegerator. Found 3 I kinda like. Anyone have anything good or bad to say of these brands? Kegco, Edgestar, Beer Meister thanks!:mug:

I'm hoping some of you can provide me with some recommendations on keg systems. I'm looking into a 2 handle system. Are there any great all-in-one deals people have gotten (kegerator/kegs/CO2 tank/gas lines, etc.)? Good brands? Brands to stay away from? Good websites to check out? Thanks...

Didn't use a starter, pack was fresh

Yes, the OG reading was before adding the maple. I used 16oz . I did not check gravity til just now...17 days after adding the maple

I used wyeast British. I didn't take readings throughout. And yes, I'm using pure VT grade B mapke

Made a smoked maple porter and thought I was gonna bottle today, however, my FG is 1.024! My OG was 1.076. This is a partial grain recipe. I added the maple just after initial fermentation ceased/airlock calmed down. It's been in primary for 20 days and stayed at about 72 degrees throughout...

Thanks for the input! Maybe a dumb question, but do i literally just pour it right in?? I shouldn't stir or anything, should I? I've never added anything during fermentation but I thought stirring was "taboo" at this point? Right? thanks again!

Going to try brewing a smoked maple porter. I need advice as to how much maple (using grade B) syrup to use and WHEN. I've read some very mixed reviews. Some say to use throughout boil, then some say this will negate the maple flavor. Can I add at say, 5 mtfo?? Or mix in before pitching? Or...

Sorry, not caramel, Crystal Malt 90L.

I'm doing a partial grain smoked porter and I'm wondering what percentage of the grain bill you'd recommend using for the Rauch malt. I'll be steeping the grains (i'm not at ag yet) for 45min-1hr. I'm using 1lb caramel wheat, 8oz blk patent and 8oz choc malt. I bought 2lbs of the Rauch, but...

I'm not opposed to leaving out the molasses. The end result is a spiced stout, but no, I don't want it overly sweet. Would you omit the molasses completely then?? Is the recipe decent for a stout w/out the molasses? ty!

thanks for the input. Nice to see a Rhode Islander on here...I was born and raised in Rhody. Just left in January to come to Vermont

Can someone plz help me out with this then?? Here's the recipe. I'm still too new to the game to know exactly what the 2-row is going to do/not do during late boil. I already have it, crushed and separated from the rest of grain bill. Should I use it or not, and when? Thanks guys! 16 oz...
