My brother in law sought out my advice in setting up a kegerator to serve out of 2 taps, 1 nitro stout tap and 1 regular tap. I ran across this kegerator which seems to get him pretty close out of the box. http://www.compactappliance.com/edgestar-dual-tap-coffee-beer-dispenser/KC3000BC.html...

FYI for everyone, Midwest is having a keg sale that ends tonight. 4 pin lock kegs for $100.00. Pretty sweet deal. Enjoy

Went to the LHBS today to get some stuff for my Simtennial Pale Ale and they were out of WLP001. :eek: They don't carry Wyeast so my options were either something else White Labs or some Notty. They happened to have a yeast chart from WL there describing the different strains. I decided to...

I was hoping to find out if anyone knows the differences between the different Johnson A419 controllers? I have seen blue ones, grey ones, and different part numbers for different grey ones. Are the differences a wash or do they matter?

She asked me today that, because I now have a temperature controller hooked up to the beer fridge and can lager, if I could make her something like Corona... I thought I had roped her in with a few pales and a tasty porter in the works soon. Alas, skunky yellow beer she wants.

I long to make a RIS but I do not have any way to infuse O2 into the wort. My thought was that the lack of infusing O2 could be compensated by adding more yeast. The thought being that the oxygen in used by the yeast in their reproductive stage, so compensate the lower amount of oxygen with...

So on my way to work today i see out of the corner of my eye a bucket and an orange cooler. I dont immediately hit the breaks because I was going to just make it to work on time. But I thought shoot, my boss won't care if I'm <5 minutes late and I will kick myself if I dont stop to take a...

So I am not much of a hophead, in fact i stay away from IPAs, but I just ordered some hops from farmhousebrewingsupply and decided to throw in 4 ounces of cascades for good measure. I am aiming to do a pale ale that has a strong malt character up front with a nice hop flavor on the back end...

I have read the numerous threads about the rubber seal falling into the primary and Im not concerned about an infection or anything like that. My worry is that I plan to age this beer on oak cubes in the secondary for up to 6 months and I don't want the rubber seal to impart any rubber type...

So what are some good ideas for secret santa gifts? In my case I am looking for ~$20 for a male coworker, but feel free to discuss general ideas as well.

I made up a batch of EdWort's Apfelwein for my wife and she likes it but would like more apple flavor. What would be a good yeast choice for retaining the apple flavor? I was reading through CvilleKevin's experiment thread and he mentioned Safale S-04 as leaving more apple flavor, would this...

My SIL is at the Naval Academy and we are visiting her this weekend. So are there any local brews I need to try to get a hold of? :mug:

So a month ago I made a batch (4 gallon) of Moose Drool Clone and I pitched a starter (1.5 liter) of WLP002. It took off like a rocket then seemed to stop after about 2 days. I thought it was either finished or maybe I might be getting my first stuck fermentation. I wasn't that worried...

Is this a good deal for the tank/hoses/guages? It says he is looking for $75. Also, does the fridge just need a freon charge (from the description).

When bottle conditioning, is it better to let the bottles condition at room temperature or in the fridge? I can do either and my brew closet is always between 68-70 degrees.

When yeast washing? I ask because I have washed some WLP001 that I used for a porter and am thinking of using it for a wheat beer. How much different would this yeast cause my wheat beer to taste if I were to use it (as opposed to a new vial of WLP001).

A wanted to check with you guys, isn't it against the law for a pharmacy to substitute a drug without informing the patient? I'm not concerned with going from name brand to generic for this discussion(although I think they have to tell you then too) but I'm talking about them switching you from...

So I was reading through the Price Comparison thread and saw several recommendations to buy grain from wholesalers. Since my LHBS charges $2.00/LB for grain, wholesale seems like a much smarter idea. Does anyone know of any wholesale places in Ohio (preferably near columbus)?

I'm wanting to make a Moose Drool clone and I found an email here in the forums from the Big Sky Brewing Company posted by IrregularPulse about their recipe and used it to come up with this: All Grain Recipe - Big Sky Moose Drool 1.052/1.016 (5 Gal) Grain Bill 8.5 lbs. - 2 Row Pale Malt 12...
