Brooklyn Oktoberfest

Just found this thread. Definitely looking forward to the rest of it.

Are they still available?

I was wondering what everyone's opinion on what I should use to make a kegerator. I have seen the chest keezer and fridge kegerator but I have only seen people use them for corny kegs. I am looking to have one tap that I could use for at least a commercial pony keg. I would like to have at least...

So I thought of brewing a beer after eating some Hawaiian pizza that incorporated pineapple in it. Since I've been away from brewing for a little bit I kind of lost a little bit of knowledge about it. When adding fruit into a beer I thought it could be during the boil or in secondary...

It looks like I'm going to have to use my growlers for homebrewing specifically then. Thanks for the heads up. I will be in Orlando but I'm definitely looking to visit Cigar City, Orlando Brewing Company, Yuengling, and any other I can find.

Really? That seems odd.

I am starting an internship in Florida next week and I'm trying to visit as many breweries down there as possible. I was wondering if they allow growlers from other states/breweries to be used. And Orlando Brewing Company looks like the only fill 32 oz or 1 gallon, which is not the usual 64 oz...

So I've always been interested in cellaring beers but the beers I buy or brew never really last that long. Eventually I want to start cellaring some of them. I know Barley Wines are a popular cellared beer but what are some other kinds. I just bought Delirium Tremens, would that be one you want...

So I am starting an internship in Florida for the next 6 months and I don't want to stop brewing while there. I'm thinking I could just do 1 or 2 gallon batches and letting it ferment in the fridge. Depending on the fridge temp it will be a lager or ale. But I was wondering if there was any...

IPAs and Pumpkin beers. There are just too many IPAs now and pumpkin beers just aren't my thing. They also took over the attention from my favorite fall beer, Marzens.

So I am new to brewing and I haven't done all grain yet but I do visit my local brewery a lot. They have an very good Wee Heavy but they make a second beer with a run off from the left over grain. It obviously doesn't have as high of an alcohol content obviously but it is definitely refreshing.I...

I see that you are from Long Island. If you ever want to drive down to Philly I have heard they sell there. Don't know if there is a taste difference since I haven't had Pliny yet but it could be worth the trip to Philly and visit the historic area as well.

So I was wondering about the Wyeast smack packs. Is it already the starter or do you have to use it to make a starter with it? I know with dry yeast you should make a starter but I have just poured it in to my bucket and carboys. I haven't used liquid yeast yet so this is all new to me. Plus to...

Welcome to the addiction

Mine is subtle so I guess it could have been I pitched at too high of a temp. Slowly but surely I'm getting the hang of brewing better beers. Thanks guys.

I didnt write that down but I'm guessing around 80-85. May have been higher than that though. It definitely was hotter than ferm temps.

Could I have pitched the yeast at too high of a temperature? It did ferement around 68 from what I remember.

So I brewed Hank's Hefeweizen extract kit about a month ago. The process went well but I feel like I may have left it fermenting too long. I used the dry yeast for it and did not get that real hefeweizen taste I was looking for and I found that it tasted better without the yeast. So now that I...

This looks awesome
