Pick me!!

Wait and see is always a safe answer around here, and rarely a bad one. :)

North Liberty, Iowa - bottles available I have two cases of 22 oz bombers, and 3 cases of 12 oz bottles that I no longer need. One of the cases of 12 oz bottles is SNPA stubbies with the labels still on, and one case is Sam Adams Octoberfest with the labels still on. I'll take them to the...

Mine did the same thing initially, now it's cool. In my experience (cool basement) it took almost 6 weeks before it started to clear, and now at eight weeks still has a continuous stream of little bubbles coming up from the depths. Can't wait to try it in April!

Don't the Italian kegs have non-removable posts/poppets?

Looks good! Welcome - it's a great hobby! Neil

I used to do secondaries but, honestly, it was just too much work for me to do for too little perceived reward. Now I just do 28 days in primary before kegging/bottling and my beers are better than ever! But, I haven't ever dry hopped or added oak or fruit - that would probably make a...

A great set of prizes! Count me in, too.

Interested. Still available?

Is this tank still available? Can you tell me how tall it is? I'm interested in it for a spare. Neil

I brewed an Irish stout and promptly forgot about it for about six months. At that point, I kegged it. Probably the best stout I've ever made! Neil

How do you cold brew k-cups? Like, rip them open and cold brew the grounds? Cold brew coffee is the best! Well, besides beer.

I got a refractometer and an oxygenation kit, but it's too darn cold to brew in Iowa right now! Maybe I'll try it Sunday when the low is supposed to be -22°F. Winter stinks. Neil

+ 5 = 27,194 Neil

I have two: Finally attempt an all-grain (or at least a partial mash) brew. Let the keg carbonate fully before "sampling." Don't know if the second one has a chance... Neil

One of my favorite beers! Did you design the recipe yourself or find it online/buy a kit? Looks good! Neil

+5 for the porter I brewed yesterday, 55631

Here's my latest 20 gallons! 53,315

Ok, I'm a wuss. Racked it to the keg. Was nice and clear once I got going. I bet it's going to taste great in a couple of weeks. Thanks for talking me through this, guys! Cheers, Neil

Ok, here you go. 1.010 FG and tastes good. Lots of break material in my auto-siphon when I took a sample (used it as a poor mans wine thief) but maybe that's just because I poked through the krausen on the top? Should I transfer it to secondary in hopes it will clear a little more, or just go...
