Anyone have experience sharing homebrew in those nice looking 1 gal stainless mini kegs with the tap and gas post ("faucet spear")? Example: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Dispensing-Ball-Faucet-Spear/dp/B019IB5TWU/ref=pd_bxgy_79_img_2/185-4824101-0575504?ie=UTF8&refRID=0E6G3DK17BTBXQQY3QNT...

The last 3 six packs I've bought have had way more floaties than I've ever seen in commercial beers before. Not hop particles, not yeast, white homogeneously distributed clumps. Stone IPA, Dale's Pale and Hebrew Genesis purchased 1 week apart from each other at 3 local stores that sell a lot of...

Fermenting using US05 in a corny in a temp controlled fridge @ 65F. New to cold crashing and have read a bit online. I had a good fermentation that took my 1.069 (unverified) AG pale to 1.010 in 3 days, still 1.010 at 14 days. I'd like to cold crash, then bring temps to the 60's and dry hop with...

Hey everyone - I was just given a Krome Dispense (unused/unopened) false bottom for my cooler mash tun and I've noticed two things. The inside of the 90 degree nipple fitting facing the bottom of the mash tun has spots of red rust, and the top looks like it is cast metal that is coated, and the...

In preparation for my first AG Dry Stout, I've been reading a lot and am caught up on water adjustments. I'd like to save water adjustments for later brews and get to it, but my water is really soft (under 10ppm everything but bicarbonate @ 19ppm, 7.2 PH) and I need someone to weigh in on if I...

Just an FYI for people making it north of Atlanta. I know some people use Beverage Control, or know a local welding shop, but I was hard pressed to find a 5lb refill for under $25 in my work area. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but LHBS Beer Necessities (aka BrewDepot) will do a 5lb for $14. Maybe...

I'm hoping to ferment in my fridge using 2 ball lock kegs with a blowoff on the gas in post. I've read the corny as primary threads, and am just concerned about blowoff, as 5 gallons comes up to the weld line, only leaving a few inches of headroom in my ball lock corny. Basically, instead of...

This seems like it should have been (and likely has elusively been) addressed, but I can't seem to pull up a definitive post. I'm taking the dive and converting a Frigidaire FRC445GM this weekend and had a few basic questions on using a thermostat control. From conversions here, it seems that...

Marketing fail

I'm pretty sure the whole hops I used to dryhop the other day were poorly stored. I couldn't smell anything then, but now that I'm smelling my airlock, it smells 75% like hops, and 25% like... musty cheese. Not overwhelming, but enough to notice. Any remedies? I was thinking about...

I was having some trouble searching for an answer for this. The LHBS closest to me does not refrigerate their hops, they are just on the wall in mylar bags. From everything I've read, hop preservation includes keeping the hops consistently cold. Should I be suspect that my hops are not...

Ok. This came up because I saw some youtube video of a cat drinking Chimay. Cat drinking Chimay? What good taste! No matter how cute you think it is, please don't give your pets alcohol. It is toxic to them. Especially cats. Small amounts of alcohol can cause respiratory...

My carboy will be free this weekend. This is my second brew, first recipe. I'm trying to make something with a definite bitter hop presence but more malty than an IPA. Also, is there any reason not to add the Goldings at flameout? Anyone care to comment? American Pale Ale Safale US-05...

BOTTLE CAPS- "RELAX-DONT WORRY-HAVE A HOME BREW" - eBay (item 160309788907 end time Feb-12-09 07:31:25 PST)

Firstly, this forum is a WEALTH of information. I spent many hours reading and educating myself, and becoming excited. I just finished up my first brew and it's quietly sitting in the closet at 64 ambient. Boiled in 20qt aluminum pot on electric range. Recipe: • 3 gallons distilled...

Hey forum, Just moved to Atlanta, girlfriend bought me a setup to brew 6 gallon batches with. <3 I absolutely love good beer, and can't wait to learn more and get started making my own. I'd like to make it year round once I become attuned to the art. - Nick
