I suppose either the pressure limiter failed or, possibly, the bottle was just old. Who knows and does it really matter? I had just inserted a CO2 cart. Thankfully, I guess, I had placed the system in the refrigerator before all hell broke loose. I was enjoying a podcast through the...

I'm pretty sure I know where to start looking on this, but it's always worth gettting other opinions. Last night, I kicked my IPA keg and swapped it out with a fresh saison keg. I let it chill overnight and went to hook everything up this morning. When I popped on the gas disconnect I didn’t...

Title says it all... I'm off!!! :mug:

A few shots from NHC: It took me several minutes to realize DOZE was dressed as scouts...I am a moron. Midwest Mariachis and The Cobra!!! The Revvy beer on tap. A silver medal for the club. BNA7 Caption Not Necessary!! :D

Hope this hasn't been posted before...I kind of doubt it. Prepare to have your mind BLOWN!

AAAAAAaaaaaaaaah! Because every one in a while we need to be reminded... That is all! :rockin:

Okay, In general, I have enjoyed my TAD system. With the keg setup, I now only use it for the occasional small batch. However, on my last brew, I noticed when I charged the TAD, with only one CO2 cart, it seemed to release ALL of the pressure into the bottle and did not restrict output to...

In honor of the recovery of one of our most "revered" members, I brewed up a partial mash old ale recipe last weekend. It was also a test of my brew ladder, new pump, new false bottom, new HLT, and new boil kettle spigot. A lot of firsts! The starter is just about ready to go: Here's the...

I put the OMG in the title especially for Yooper, LOL!!! ;) Seriously, this is beer related, but it is a rant. I haven't really been able to brew for about a month because I'm lagering a bock and it is taking FOREVER! I don't think I've ever gone this long without brewing something. The...

Okay, at some point, on my first tank of CO2 I was getting a buzzing noise, very faint from my regulator. It appeared to be coming from the tank pressure gauge area and I tightened down that gauge a little bit and it went away. Not too long after that I finally ran out of gas on that tank...

Just seeing if anyone else is going to be there this Saturday?

It's a beer by Brew Dog that is really strong, really expensive and has real animal skins around the bottle?!?!? Have you seen it? Have you?!?!? Of course you have, because we now have like SEVEN threads on this topic!!!!!! AAAAAAaaaaargh!!! My back hurts and I'm cranky! :p

I finished up the keezer collar and mounted a set of Perlicks last weekend and love how crisp they are compared to trying to dispense from my old picnic taps. I also notice that it is easier to produce a quality head on the beer in comparison to the picnics. Maybe it's just me, but man, I LOVE...

Well, I've been doing this brewing thing for a little while now and have certainly posted enough at this point. In general I think, even if I have taken issue with one of you, we've always pretty much got along. Today, I ask you to keep me in your thoughts. I've done everything from Mr...

Just curious if there will be any other HBT members at the BN Winter Beer Festival this weekend?

So, I don't really start a lot of threads. Normally I like to limit my activity in these forums to smart ass comments. However, I'm filled with a bit of nervous anticipation about this weekend. I'll be sampling my first beer that had proper fermentation temperature control this evening. It...

Hurrah! The freezer is being delivered tomorrow. I'm off to fill my CO2 tank!

I searched to see if this had been covered and I didn't find any threads that seemed to talk about this specifically. A lot of stuff about vacuum pumps and seal a meals. So, I figured I'd post this. I usually use my autosiphon to transfer, but I somtimes ferment in some small one gallon...

Seriously, I've been brewing for a while now and hoped I was beyond these excited giddy postings that are pretty much USELESS to everyone else, but a co-worker of mine just gave me his old all grain setup. It's just a simple bucket based false bottom/sparge arm setup, but I'm thrilled to be...

OMG!!! I just had my first rauch bier experience. A couple of friends and I did the Anchor Steam brewery tour today, great tour with generous samples at the end. Afterwards, we decided to grab lunch at the Monk's Kettle. I had a pulled pork sandwich and decided to go with the suggested...
