Starting extract a few months ago, about 12 batches so far. Moving toward All-Grain and picking up hardware when I see a good deal. The goal is transition from extract to BIAB, then to All-Grain. My question....I am looking at a 19g/72qt pot. What size of bag could I use for that pot to make...

Thanks Hunter- much appreciated for the reply. I took note of your comments about clearing the keg. I kegged a Citral Pale Ale last week and I suffered from a clogged dip tube. After clearing it, I am finding small amounts of hops in my glass- little floaties. I am assuming these will clear...

That's kinda what I was thinking...I don't have the itemized price break down, but I do have the total, $41. Below is the ingredient list. Exceptions or substitutions are noted below* KIT INVENTORY: SPECIALTY GRAIN - 0.75 lbs Gambrinus Honey Malt - 0.25 lbs Belgian Biscuit - 6 lbs...

Thanks for the reply...funny you mentioned taste tests. That's what I was planning/considering. I haven't ventured into BIAB or all-grain- yet. Still getting my feet wet with extract, but what I thought was initially a "hell no" is starting to peak my interest....all-grain. Still...

Pretty new to brewing, but into my 5th batch. I've been purchasing extract kits from NBrewer with successful outcomes. I spoke w/ my LHBS and they told me to just bring in the ingredient list from any kit and they could put it together for me. I did and it cost more :( Is this normal? I...

Looking for some insight about a cream ale. I finally found a beer my wife adores....a simple cream ale with sweet orange peels (10min boil). I love the fact she loves it so much, that I have dedicated one of our taps to ensure she always has her favorite flowing. The cream ale is friendly...

Fairly new to kegging, but adding 4th tap on our bar very soon. The hardest thing so far is keeping up with demand. We are adding our last tap, but have three additional batches that we will be kegging soon. What is a good way to store kegs until they are ready to be consumed- not waiting for...

Thanks J2W2, I appreciate the feedback and opinion. I like the thought of being able to fine tune the pour on an IPA. Congrats on the new keezer. I hope you enjoy your setup as much as I am enjoying mine. I will admit, I am a bit jealous already. I thought I was going to be content with...

Update....so far so good. The 5ft of line works great. Pour rate is 7.5 seconds and delivers nice head. First beer from the bar is a hit! I went back and looked at the beer line calculator and measured from the top of my kegs to the tap height and it's 1.5ft. I originally was measuring...

I've installed my first tap line from the fridge to the bar- works great and the beer is delicious with an awesome pour. I have three more beers to follow with their own lines, but I have a question to pose... Are the Perlick Flow Control faucets worth it? I have a Perlick 630SS faucet on...

My new taps came with preconnected mfl lines with 5' of line....I'm not changing them until I need to

I agree, HappyHopper....I don't want to get a fast pour at the peril of my pint. I'm trying to get the happy medium....less than 10second pour and near perfect head. It seems like experimentation is going to be the course to follow.

That makes sense and kinda what I was leaning towards. My beer line from IAH came with 5ft of line with the connections already on it. I think I'm going to try it, then adjust if necessary. I feel like I'm going to be adjusting up in beer line.

I'm wrapping up my tap lines in my home bar. I have a full size fridge, four kegs/tap lines running through the side of the fridge, then through the wall in to my bar. I've set up a blower fan and return duct to circulate the cold air. Very short run- vertical rise from kegs to tap is 2ft. I...

Hey- I really appreciate the replies. This is my first keg setup. I've ordered Perlick faucets. Trying to do it right.... You've given me some things to research for the length of line.... Thanks!!

I'll have to go back and take a look at the vertical rise from keg to faucet. I was thinking it was closer to 3ft with a 5sec pour. 10 seconds seemed a little long for a pour. With 3ft and 10 seconds, I was getting 2.26..??? I will recheck the Vertical Rise when I get back home- thanks

- way too short for your beer line runs. Think more like 10-12'. http://www.mikesoltys.com/2012/09/17/determining-proper-hose-length-for-your-kegerator/ I checked out the web link for Determining Proper Hose length. I'm coming up with 2' of beer line....??? I'm using 3/16 beer line and the...

Thanks Day_trippr... I appreciate the reply. Especially the critique on the beer line length. I thought I read somewhere for a short run between the fridge and the taps, 5' was about the right size. Maybe I got it backwards and the short run requires more line...thinking out loud, that may...

Setting up my three tap (possibly four) system. Quick couple questions... 1. My bar shares a common standard wall with another room where my standard size fridge is located- very short distance through the wall to the bar. What size of a hole saw should I drill through the side of fridge...
