Just got this Longshot six pack since I started brewing 4 months ago and I am not expert but is the double IPA supposed to taste like that? I made myself finish cause I didn't want to waste anything but it was awful. I had my brother and father try it and I had to drink both in the six pack...

You are correct. I hit it with 30 PSI for 24 hours and then turned it down to 12 PSI and that is what it is at in the fridge now. I am glad to hear I can just leave the picnic taps on and can clean between each keg. If I decide that one of the kegs needs to age and don't need it on tap can I...

Just kegged my first beer...actually two batches. And I have some questions now. 1. I kegged at 30 psi and put the picnic taps on and tasted and they aren't bad. Can I leave the picnic taps on in the fridge? Even if the kegs last a few months in there? Or should I take them off and clean...

Thanks Paul. If I will get over there I will just exchange it....was hoping to find something a little closer but haven't yet.

So they have to exchange? I just got a brand new (not reburished) C02 tank. And yes it is the best team in football!

Just got a couple kegs and C02 tank. Do you guys know where to get a c02 tank filled in the South Shore area?

Just bottled my third batch. A Berry Weizen. First batch a Citrus Blonde is pretty good. Still a little yeast after taste after 3 weeks in the bottle. We did half with some cranberry extract and half with out. The half with the extract definitely has less of an after taste. My...

Hey guys, I have found some great info on this site. Thanks. I have done 4 extract batches and have another 2 or 3 lined up but after that I would like to go all grain. I currently have the following: -20 quart SS pot -2 6.5 gallon fermentation buckets -1 5 gallon better bottle -1...

Paul, You are always welcome to have some DD with us....and you know what I think I am going to have to make a Dunkin Donuts Coffee Stout and a Toll House Cookie Porter....thanks for the ideas...and the next time you are driving through Whitman let me know so we can hit all 3 Dunkin's and even...

So I bottled my Blonde Ale (with lime juice and half of the bottles with a cranberry extract) and it has been carbonating for the last week. Tried some and they aren't half bad right now. A little after taste but hopefully that will go away with time. I moved my pumpkin ale to a secondary I...

Thanks guys. I did test the hydrometer in water and it was 1.000. I will let it go for the next week and check it....then give it another week and move to secondary after that. I will make sure to real mix my wort with the topped off water going forward.

Those could be the exact reasons. I did stir it but probably not enough. It has been about 24 hours on my new batch and I don't see anything. Would it hurt to really stir it up now or is it already in the process so I shouldn't mess with it?

Hi, I just finished my first brew and bottled and the gravity wasn't what I expected based on beersmith. Now I realize I probably screwed something up but just need to figure out what it was. My OG was 1.042 and beersmith said it should be 1.048 and my FG was supposed to be3 1.012 and I...

Yup...my hometown too. I grew up here. I tried to get the citrus flavors by putting in two lime and two oranges zest in the boil...and I didn't taste it so I added some lime juice (no sugar) to the bottling. We will see how it turns out. I used Cascade in this recipe. Which hops have citrus...

Just bottled my first brew...a blonde ale. Tried to get citrus flavor in there not sure if it will work...didn't taste any citrus on my sample. And brewed up a pumpkin ale this morning also. Took some items from a few recipes, smelled good, now I just hope it tastes good.

How much lemon juice does your friend put in the bottling bucket?

I will be bottling. I was thinking of doing a secondary but currently don't own one so was trying to see what else wasa out there.
