Getting a heating element installed into my keggle is straightforward enough, but it's all the stuff between it and the wall outlet that losses me. Are there systems a guy...

    Is honey in the keg OK?

    Well, as the title states....is it? I brewed a Dunkel and am now thinking of adding honey to the keg in hopes of getting some honey flavor. If so, how much for 5 gallons? Dump straight in or do something to it first?

    Yeast washing

    I just gathered 2 types of yeast, a London ale on the left and a California ale on the right. I know what to do with the lighter California ale, the yeast layer is obvious.

    apollo hops?

    I'm putting together a pale recipe and am thinking of trying these apollo hops. Any info on them? Are they good for both bittering and aroma, just aroma? The description says citrus and orange....I'm planning a chocolate ale, hopefully it works with it.

    advice on splitting a batch

    "vintage" cappers

    i just bottled my first batch and my red-wing capper didn't do the greatest job on the little stubby bottles due to the lip on the neck. i did a search on here and people have said that their specific vintage capper works just fine, but do they all work just fine? granted, if they are siezed up...

    Too much yeast?

    I have my 2nd batch fermenting right now in the primary (2weeks) and I'm getting a stronger and stronger smell from the bucket. It kinda smells like the yeast packet, Wyeast -northwest something, but the smell doesn't make it appetizing at all. On the Austin home brew site, the suggest 2 packs...
