any thoughts on the chances of this being drinkable?

JESUS ALE?? I did let the wort cool outside in the open air... who knows, if it continues I will sample and report back.

Okay so I was mid way through a boil on a Cream Ale kit when I realized that the kit didn't have the yeast packet. I called the store, they are giving me a whole new kit, but... Whats really interesting is that the wort that I put into the carboy(about 2 days ago) is now fermenting? I...

So if I put the wort in a 65 degree walk in cooler tonight covered, it will be fine until I can get back to it?

Bumping this because I need help. My Cream Ale kit didnt come with the yeast packet... sad. I already started the brew. I got some bread yeast to take the place. I called my brew store and they said they will give me a whole new kit. I have enough carboys and kegs and free space to deal...

But would it help...? I have nothing but spare time, 13 CO2 cartridges, and a keg of flat beer.

I'm pretty sure I sealed it well. I cracked one of the cartridges and gave it a few squirts, seemed to add enough pressure. I just wish I had the tank and regulator... If I add a whole nother cartridge and rock the keg on the floor for a little while and then check in a few days will this...

So I kegged a Kolsch about 3 weeks ago, it spent 10 days at room temp, then 2 weeks in the fridge, I've been waiting on a tap to come in the mail and it finally got here today. I am using the CO2 Chargers with 12g carts. So I just poured the first brew and its... okay. the main problem is...

NO MORE SCALING, CUTTING and GUTTING for ME!! Well before my time, but saw it on TV the other day before that behind the scenes episode.

Haha, I got it now. I know the feeling oh so well... when the beer goes down in 3 gulps and your looking for the next before you even finish saying "aaaaaahhhh." If the weather is nice and warm, that would be the ideal beer that I want. I see that the Saint Arnold Lawn Mower is a Kolsch. I...

Whats a lawnmower beer?

Awesome suggestions, I think I might go with either a Cream or Blonde for the AM. I like the suggestion of a Cerveza, but theres just not time to lager :( (maybe next year). Still trying to decide what for the PM, and I gotta start soon since we are T - 35 days(1.5 week Primary, 2 Week...

Actually I have a Kolsch kegged right now, waiting for my tap to come in, but if its good I may consider making more. I think the Blonde would probably be good in the morning. I've never actually tried Bass Ale, would be funny. Might pick up a 6er and try it out. Thanks for the suggestions...

Alright alright, So I just officially announced the dates on my annual fishing tournament. I've decided to brew either 5 or 10 gallons and keg it for the occasion. Was thinking of calling it "Pontoon Ale." But, I'm still trying to decide what kind of ale to brew. The tournament is the...

Im super broke, but have access to everything I need to do the plan, but yeah its in good condition, I just don't think I would get enough to find a bigger one.

Alright, so... Good: I got a minifridge for free by helping a friend move out. Bad: Its about 5" too short. The plan: To cut a hole in the roof of the fridge, through the whole thing. I will cut the hole at the same diameter of the Corni keg, plus maybe an exta 1/4" too put foam/ a...

So I am fairly new to brewing, but I am anxious to try new things. I recently purchased some new equipment and ingredients with money I made selling scrap metal. So in honor of that, I am brewing a beer. I like to do graphic design and make custom labels for my brews and I have made a label...

but so as far as a timeline... does the CO2 dissipate? or will the pressure stay in the keg for a while?

Yes, I did add priming sugar. and I am waiting for that to carb the beer, my question refers specifically to dispensing. So does the CO2 I put in to dispense eventually 'settle' into the beer/ leak out of the keg and therefor would need more CO2 to dispense, or can I just charge the keg with...
