So, I've got my beer all kegged and carbed up, but I'm not sure how to fill up bottles from my keg. In the past I've just filled a growler with very low pressure to prevent foaming, but I've always drank that in the next day or two. How do I go about filling two bottles to turn into a...

I'm going to Carb using Bottling Sugar in my Keg. I've searched many threads on this web-site and am unclear on 1 detail. I've read to use half of what I would for bottling. My question is do I mix half the sugar in the normal amount of water I usually use, boil it, cool it down and then...

Sorry for 2 similar posts, but I just saw Mophunk's post and didnt want to hi-jack. I'm looking to invest in a mill, however SWMBO bakes alot and wants one that can make flour as well as meet all my milling needs for brewing. The one they sell at my LHBS has small teeth like things on the...

I just upgraded to a propane burner for a full boil in my garage instead of the partial boil on my electric stove top that I'd been using. When I crank up the gas I can get some wicked flames shooting out and up the side of my brew kettle :rockin: My question is, do I need to heat slowly...

So I've got 8 extract with specialty grain steeps under my belt and decided it was time to move up to Partial mash. I've always brewed partial boil's inside the house on my stove. As I try to progress this fascinating hobby, I decided it was time to try a full boil and partial mash outside...

I've got all my stuff for my Kegerator and I'm debating wether to put the CO2 bottle and gauges inside with my two corny's or leave them outside the fridge. My set up will support having a bottle outside or inside so space/logistics is not a concern. Anyone know of any other...

I used to have a section towards the bottom of the forum listing all the prosted threads from the day, the week and the month. That seems to have disappeared in the last few days. Is it just me? or Maybe no ones prosting anything. PROST :mug:

What do you guys pay for 5# CO2 refill? Only place I could find in town wants $22.00, and they do a swap. I give them my empty, they give me a full. That was almost double what I was expecting to pay.

Every time I use my auto syphon it's a pain trying to remove the tubing from my cane. Last night while pulling as hard as I could, the cane snapped rather then seperating from the tubing. I cant be the only one with this problem, anyone have any tricks? Maybe Keg lub before hand, or soak...

And still have one question. Do I adjust my batch recipe to compensate for the extra cup or so of DME I'll be pitching into my wort? or is it to small of an amount to make any differance? Not sure if I'm being clear or not. If my Recipe calls for 3lb's DME, and I'm basically adding an...

Hey all! Fortunately/unfortunately (however you choose to see it) I have more money than time available to me at the moment and am not much on DIY projects. I'm looking at purchasing this to get me started into Kegging. http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=186 My question is...

So....I've been receiving bottles from all my friends and family. It never occurred to me, that some are twist off and some are not. I've bottled 4 batches with several twist off bottles mixed in. I've located several of the filled bottles with the twist top and checked the cap...

I've been trying to find the best way to acquire a lot of bottles. I don't like spending $12/case at my LHBS for empty bottles, I'd rather have some with beer in them for that price! After sampling many brands, I've settled on any of the brews made from "Red Hook" brewery. They come in a...

How do you secure the 1in blow off tube to your carboy? Does it seal right if I just cram it in the opening? I dont have a 1in tube yet, so I havnt tried, but I'm pretty sure I need one. I'm currently using a tube attached to part of my 3 piece Airlock, I came home last night after day...

I have kind of a dumb question and cant seem to find the answer from searching this forum or google. How do I read my temperture tape on the outside of my Carboy? I have a dark blue block that says 64, a green block on 66 and a red block at 68, all other blocks are blacked out. Do I go...
