I have a few gallons of this going. Will do some cinnamon, and some regular. Will report back once it's ready!

Having one of those would be pretty badass. I’d have to start drinking a bit more lol. Brand new, those would probably be a little more than I would like to spend. I wouldn’t be opposed to finding something like this used though. I’ve been looking on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for...

You’re making this a more difficult decision… 🤣 I have also thought about this. A keezer could be used for more than just some kegs. Yeah I might have to sleep on it for a little longer before I make a decision. One thing I did like about the keezer idea was that I could slowly build up my...

This is definitely good to know. Would be nice to switch out the keg after a night of drinking so I have another beer to splurge on the next night. After all the information received, I’m kind of learning toward a two tap kegerator with a couple kegs in reserves that can we swapped out at my...

Damn man, that’s a serious set up! Looks clean and professional. I spy a treehouse brew on the list lol. My only hesitation for something like that is that I’m not a handyman by trade, though I could probably build it with some useful instructions. And likewise, I am a young strapping brewer, so...

You make a very compelling argument, my friend. An argument you seem to be winning. Honestly, I probably don’t drink as much as I should considering brewing is turning out to be my main hobby, which I would like to do a minimum of 2 times a month. But I could see my consumption increase if I had...

Yeah, those are definitely some drawbacks of a keezer that I hadn't previously thought of. I, too, enjoy the retro style refrigerators but due to personal preference, I just don't find the idea of a full sized refrigerator with taps in it very visually appealing in my basement/mancave. Although...

Thanks for your perspective rawlus! I definitely agree that the presentation and easy of use of a kegerator seems to be unrivaled. Having gone from all the extra taps, do you find yourself with not enough available taps with just a single tap/keg? I've wrestled with the idea of buying a...

I've finally hit the stage in my brewing career that I want to make the leap into kegging. I've come to a fork in the road and I'm deciding which path to take. I would like to have some way to keg and serve my homebrews and I'm not sure which option to pick. I can layout my thought process below...

Hello Komodo! Love your profile picture! But that makes sense. I really enjoy German beers (probably my favorite) and I’ve always found their purity law, previous and current, very fascinating. Making great beers with few ingredients. I’ll keep that in mind as I continue my brewing journey...

Hey Wally! Thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate your feedback. As mentioned above, I just started messing with my water quality. I found a water report for my water company (who knows how accurate it is) and have used that as a baseline. I’ll give it a few batches and see but I might have...

Thanks for the tips rawlus! Kegging and electric brewing are things I haven’t dipped my toes into yet. My next purchase is definitely going to be a kegging setup. Just haven’t decided between buying a kegerator or building a keezer;)

Hey Jax! Thanks for your reply. This is something I’m beginning to realize. My latest batch last weekend was the first batch I actually started messing with the water quality. We’ll see how it turns out! Cheers!

I am in south central PA. Near Gettysburg if that is any indication. I believe the nearest to me would be like York or Harrisburg

Great suggestion! Thank you for compiling some resources for me to checkout tonight!

I’d love to join a club but I’m not sure there is a club in my area.. I think the closest LHBS is like an hour away. If I do find one, I’ll definitely join!

Wow, this is some fine advice! Thanks Alex, this is the kind of stuff I love. I should definitely start keeping more detailed notes. My notes outline ingredients and major processes, but not super fine details like AA% and pH. Will definitely include this in the future. I love the idea of...

Wow, crazy! I hope to avoid this kind of issue lol. Did you ever figure out what caused it to sour and/or try brewing it again?

My condolences to you. I'm glad he had a long life, hopefully full of brewing. I have a special appeal to your post, as it was my father who had got me into brewing and I have spent some really great times brewing with my father. As I am still very young, in my 20s, I will remember to not take...

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for taking the time to point me in the proper direction. Much appreciated!
