Hey guys, I have an 8-Tap Keezer which I built last year which just barely fits all 8 kegs in the area outside the hump. They are stacked in their like sardines pretty much, with no room on the sides of the wall to really move around at all. Currently I have 10' beer lines and gas lines that...

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone's had any success making a Ginger Beer (soda)? I made Ginger Ale recently with a few pounds of raw ginger, and it tastes like Ginger Soda but doesn't have that dry spicy bite that a ginger beer has. Are there other ingredients or adjuncts that give it that...

I've been brewing for 3+ years now and I've never had an initial batch turn out so poorly. This is around the 25th or so all-grain batch that I've brewed. Target Gravity was supposed to be 1.08-1.09, 20lb of total grain but I only hit 1.065 :confused: Mashed at 155F for 75minutes (6.5...

Hey guys, I'm looking to setup my first beer on Nitro draft, and have everything setup except for buying the blended gas/cylinder itself. My local gas/welding supply store only offers beer gas in a 65/35 N to CO2 ratio, and I'm wondering how well this will work for serving stouts and porters...

Howdy folks, I'm currently looking into setting up my first Nitro faucet and was wondering about what everyone is paying for their beer gas mix? A local shop I called quoted me at $130 deposit for a 10lb (33cu ft) cylinder, plus $35 for each fill... that sounded kind of high to me so I just...

Hey guys, I recently brewed a Pumpkin Saison using various fall squash (Butternut, Acorn, & Yams), based off of the recipe here. I mashed at ~148/149F, OG of 1.008 and pitched WLP565 Yeast. The fermentation originally got stuck around 1.035, so I warmed it up and stirred it a bit in a...

So I'm currently in the process of finishing up a new 8-Tap Collared Keezer using a new 10.6 cf GE model I picked up on sale from Home Depot. I don't yet have a drip tray, and after measuring it looks like I'm going to need something around 40" wide or so...what are my options? I haven't...

Hey guys, I was recently cleaning out my garage and came across some old grains that I was about to throw out, but I decided to wing it and put together a quick brown ale with the intention that it might end up being a throwaway batch since the grains were crushed over a year ago. :drunk...

Hey Guys, I'm planning on brewing this today in a 5.5 Gallon All-Grain Batch, Mashing in at 156F. Just wanted to see if anyone had any input. I was wondering if Carapils should count as the total % of Specialty Malt or not? I know that it's roasted like a specialty/caramel malt, but at...

Hey Guys, I'm thinking of doing a Saison in the near future and have been looking into ways of heating up the Fermentor, as the basement I brew in typically sits at a steady 68-70F. A fermwrap seems to be the easiest route, which I plan to link up to another STC-1000 since they're so cheap to...

Hello All, Recently I brewed two Fruit Beers, a Raspberry Red (Somewhat Based off of a Founder Rubaeus Clone) and a Strawberry Blonde Ale based off of the Strawberry Alarm Clock v3 Recipe found in these forums.The base beers themselves, prior to me adding fruit tasted fantastic, as I believe...

Hello All, So recently my local grocery mart had Raspberries on sale for $1 per 6oz container, so I stocked up on this opportunity and now have about 7.5lbs of Raspberries which I have boiled and smashed into a slurry/juice for brewing purposes. I'd like to brew an All-Grain Raspberry Ale...
