Give aquaphor a try, works great and doesn't smell as bad.

once kegged did you purge out the o2? also how long are you waiting after you carb it? bottling takes weeks to carb so the flavor will change. try carbing in the keg and waiting a couple weeks. i have noticed it only gets better as the keg gets lower (time). if you are looking for a more fresh...

I always think of the quote "think of your average person. half of them are dumber then that."

So i have backed up my pipeline and have a two hearted clone (extract) in the secondary. it might be a few weeks before i have a free keg. should i keep it at 70 deg. up stairs or take it to the basement 55ish deg. until i am ready to dry hop? also if i bring it to the basement, when its time to...

good to here. i put it in a sealed container to prevent a mess. appreciate the responses Thanks

i bought a beer kit form the brew store that i plan on brewing tomorrow. i activated the pack tonight (as advised buy the man at the shop) and it is like a balloon. is there a chance it will pop? should i put it in the fridge or lust leave it? thanks.

I started with this. disassembled these are the threads you are going to take down to half there height. put it back together (don't over tighten anything just snug)

I don't intend to get into a pissing match. if you want to pay $35 plus SH and wait tell they have it in stock go ahead. Its just for those who want to tinker or want to make there own equipment with whats handy.

i just took some pictures to guide you through but i dont know how to insert an image. the insert image tab just asksfor a link.

I will start by saying do this at your own risk! you will be modifying a propane torch head. I started with this $12 if you don't know it has right hand threads and an o2 tank has left hand threads. I took it apart leaving only the main body that screws on the the o2 tank. then i took...

Its a 6 gal ale pale. i am not sure what brew i am going to make next but i like the idea of the blow off tube attached to the airlock. i will use that idea to be safe and then just reassemble the air lock if i don"t need the blow off tube. Thanks

I just got an O2 setup for aerating my wort (disposable tanks) and i plan on using for my next brew (it will be a dme+hop kind of kit) . I have never had a overflow problem before but after reading about improved aeration and aggressive fermentation i am concerned about over flow. my question...

thanks. any ideas on which honey i should use? this is the discription they give about ther raw honey "Also known as raw honey. Extra Virgin Honey has not been heated or filtered. When you open a jar you may find cappings wax, bits of propolis and pollen. Because it is unprocessed,all the...

I think i would like to make some mead. This is a recipe that looks like a good starter. i have 2 questions. Would there be any problems brewing a 2 Gal. recipe in a mr. beer container i have? also i have a local honey farm where i live they sell raw honey as well as possessed honey, which would...

hi just go into brewing and had a carboy laying around to i made this to the orig recipe (i think) when i was at the LHBS i bought a 4# bag of corn sugar. i split tha bag about half which came to about 8 cups. is this about right? the reason i ask is from reading 100+ pages of this i read about...

well i don't know if i didn't have the lid on tight enough or if it was the re pitching but it is bubbling away pretty good (about 4 hours after re pitching) thanks again

thanks for the quick replay. yes the leak is somewhere between the lid and the bucket. i was thinking a gasket of some sort. being new to this it would be nice to be able to see some kind of action from the air lock instead if it leaking out so i dont have to wait 3-4 weeks to find out i screwed...

After a couple days of my first batch of beer my airlock showed no signs of action reading "how to brew" it mentioned that if nothing happened in 48 hrs you should re pitch. (my first pitch was dry yeast sprinkled on top and mixed in) i opened the pail trying to be as sanitary as possible. there...

didn't intend to start and argument or suggest he just walk away with the keg. but he could ask a store to buy the empty keg.

that wouldn't be stealing a keg. you are putting a deposit on the keg for the value of it. i bet if you went to a liquor store and asked to buy and empty keg for the deposit price they would sell you one.
