Just hit up Arcet and did an exchange. I wasn't crazy about giving up my shiny tank, but there isn't a single place around here that fills them, not even the paint ball shops (they don't have the adapters to fit 5 pounders). Thanks a lot for your replies!

Hey guys, I've been calling just about every welder in town with no luck. I live in the Christiansburg area of Virginia and am starting to think I am the only one in the area with a keggerator. Does anyone know where I can get a 5 lb tank filled? Thanks,

They do make $100+ thermometers that many swear by, I however, don't have the cash. What I do to combat the problem is use 2 long stem thermometers and two floating candy thermometers. Yup that's right, 4 thermometers. All of them tend to be within 4-8 degrees of eachother. I then take an...

I haven't experimented much with peel, but the couple recipes that did call for it, called for just the zest. I found that it provided an added level of overall bitterness rather than the taste of the actual fruit. I can't say anything about your schedule, as I've never dealt with multipul...

I generally like to wait around 4 weeks on an IPA but in your situation, I'd make an exception. You could just bottle/keg it at the 3 week mark, or somewhere close. You're still gonna end up with a great beer.

This will be cool to see. Personally, i'd leave out the text. I was never a big fan of text in tattoos, but that's just me. I think your idea alone would speak for itself. Still, a badass idea nonetheless. Can't wait to see it!

Pisses you off doesn't it? Sorry to hear about that man, i hope you were at least able to get the wort out like i was. I could never bring myself to buy another one. I just boil in a pot and then use a coffee pot for my starter since it has a flat enough bottom for the stir bar to spin. Better...

You mean, an infection in your beer right? Just curious. :-)

If the wwwort of irish red, doesn't take off, then i'll make bread. Three weeks it bubbles then I rack, beer is done agaaiiiiinnnn! Love me some Megadeth!

8 people?! Was it a silo of beer? Where are you reading this?

I use a tower on my keggerator and installed a fan that blows cold air from the bottom up into the tower through a tube. Even still, that first pint of the session foams a bit more than the rest, but it is by no means a show stopper. As far as the overall temperature of that first pint, you...

Just make sure you give your taste buds a rest after the Ruinnation, you're gonna want to give that smoked porter your undivided attention. You're in for a real treat!

When I used to live in Marietta, I'd go in there all the time for my supplies. Those guys run a pretty tight ship. I really like the fact that they don't charge extra to mill your grain like some other online vendors do. BMW is the only vendor I use.

Damn! Last summer I brewed for a wedding and bought 5 ball locks from a guy for a hundred bucks. I couldn't imagine paying $125 for a brand new one. I hope 9 cornies total is enough to hold me off.

Hey, good luck with that, I hope you get some decent beer from it. I did 3 Mr.Beers before buying a home brew kit. One of them was decebt, the other 2 were awful. Mr. Beer is great to start with, but if for whatever reason it isn't what you expected, don't think that's as good as it gets. You...

Damn that Apfelwein, gets ya every time!

Hahah! "I'm like, I fu**ing got no dukes." -goat

Damn, that looks like enough for 10 batches! What's the story behind it? Edit: well now that I think about it, maybe not. They are spent hops afterall so they arnt as compact. But even still, looks like a hell of a lot.

I love Canada. I grew up in Massachusetts, so as soon as we all turned 18 were hopping the border every other weekend. Don't take it personal man, some people just have way too much time on their hands.

Hey man, I'm not calling you old, but I've never heard of a 53 year old dude, just becoming an alcoholic out of the blue. Usually that takes years of practice. I remember having a non-stop buzz for about 2 weeks after my first couple of batches because I just couldn't keep my hands off it. I had...
