Hi all, I'm looking for breweries that fill corny kegs in the Boston area, or even somewhere within a 2-hour drive range. Does anybody know? Comments much appreciated.

So, I'm officially giving up using US-05 for pale ales, and wondering if I should stop using it for any style. I recently dumped a batch of APA because of diacetyl. It could not be missed, trust me. I'm sure you are wondering what I did wrong. Well, I have a standard brewing approach for ales...

Hi all, I have 2 lagers in my list to brew soon, a Vienna and a German Pilsner, but at this time, I won't be able to make a yeast starter using a liquid yeast as I have always done. My question is, what are my options for a lager dry yeast? I was thinking using 2 packs of Saflager S-23 for each...

I brewed this Belgian pale ale and thought it was a good idea to add some organic orange marmalade with liqueur to the bottling bucket. So, I usually taste the left overs in the bottling bucket to get the first impressions of the taste and realized it came out extremely sweet. Looked at the...

Hi, I'm moving and have to transport my chest freezer kegerator with 3 corny kegs inside it. All 3 kegs are near full of beer (12 psi) or carbonated juice (18 psi). I was planning to just turn the kegerator off, load it to my minivan, hit the road, unload it in my destination (8 hours away)...

Just got the results from the first round. It appears that results are not available for all judging centers yet. Overall, actually very pleased with it. All judges provided more detailed feedback than I was expecting and their email contact, though only one of them actually had some...

I found this, which has interesting ideas, but it is the most recent I could find and it's been 3 years! I wonder if people in our HBT community have had recent successes with a light beer with a lime taste. My Mom is coming from Brazil to spend summer here with my family. She is not a heavy...

Brewed an English brown this past weekend. Everything went well, only my efficiency came out really high and the volume a bit shorter from 5 gal, resulting in a higher-than-planned OG of 1.060. I knew WLP002 can result in a lot of ester production at higher temps, characterized mainly by a...

In the spirit of the upcoming St Patricks day, I just had a Guinness on tap. I used to absolutely love it and it had been a long time since I had one. Bad choice! Did I just fine tuned my palate since I start home brewing or the Guinness had gone downhill compared to what it was in the past? I...

Just trying to get a few for what the most popular style is. Just your single most common. I'm a relatively new brewer and haven't repeat a style yet, so no vote for me.

I bought this used; it came as a bonus when I got my AG equipment deal. http://www.homebrewing.org/Oxynator-oxygen-regulator-and-diffusion-kit_p_1057.html Anyway, the previous owner gave me 2 small Oxygen (O2) tanks that I have been using to oxygenate my wort, but now they are empty and I...

Hi all, I’m getting ready to brew 2 Pilsners coming up soon. They will have identical ingredients, but one will be my first attempt in the decoction world and the other just plain single-step infusion, so I can see how different they really are. These will be brewed in 2 consecutive days and...

So, my beer is cold inside the corny keg and ready for carbonation. So, I'm going to apply 12 psi and leave it alone for a couple of days as I was told. I figured I can control how much pressure I want by releasing the the air in the valve located in the gauge, but I'm not sure how I apply the...

Yes, another thread asking for opinions about lack of airlock activity and yes I have heard from many here that the activity can not always be trusted. But in my case, I'm pretty sure my yeast is dormant or dead, do you doubt? So, to the facts: - This is a strong amber ale with OG of 1.072, 3...

I'm getting ready to buy the stuff for my collar, but can't decide about what to use to put it together. I was going to use liquid nails to glue the lumber boards together on the corners or maybe just the Carpenter's wood glue (the yellow one, you know), but I have seen others using just...

Hi folks, I've seen several topics about building a keezer or kegerator here but have yet not found more clear instructions on wiring a Love temp controller into a freezer. I have plans to do my own keezer but first, I want make sure I can install the controller, which I think is the hardest...

I'm in a hardware store right now getting a vinyl hose for a used oxynator and realized a hose that fit one end (oxygen exit) will not fit the other end in the stone? Is this right? What should I do?!?

Dear AG enthusiasts, First and foremost, I did search here before opening this thread. While I found some info about building a mash tun, there are still many questions I have. 1-I know the advantages and disadvantages of each collection system (false bottom, manifold, etc) and cooler...

I have this kit left from my initial no boil brewing experience. I have brewed 4-5 coopers kits before, they all made drinkable beers, but my first boiling extract brew tasted way better! So, maybe I can use the kit but improve it with extract and boiling. This kit comes with the can in the...

Hi guys, I decided my next brew will potentially be the following recipe to take advantage of some of the ingredients I already have, but I have not been able to find Dry Corn Syrup anywhere! AHS has a liquid corn syrup, not dry as in the recipe, and they only carry 3lb bottles or larger. I...
