    Gas line length

    So I'm finally getting my kegerator together, and while everything fits, its a bit snug. Is there any reason not to shorten the gas line to be just what it needs to be? Thanks.

    Dark beers taste great, lighter beers taste like pool water

    Hey, so I've got an issue I can't solve. I just moved to a new place and finally got to crack open my two first batches from here. The first is an oatmeal stout, the body is great, good head retention, tastes great, nice roasted finish. The second is a red ale, has a bit of nice hop bite up...

    A bottle of Consecration or Wyeast3278

    So I'm taking a stab at brewing a belgian as close to Russian River's Consecration ale as I can make. The plan is to use WLP530 to do the primary fermenting and then when transferring to secondary to add the bugs. I'm debating either just going with a bottle from the brewery or using a pack of...

    So you're asked to give a quick talk on brewing...

    So, I decided to take a night class for fun titled "The Art and Science of Beer." The class is predominantly non-brewers. The final 'project' is to give a 15~20 minute talk to the class. If you all got the opportunity to do this, what would you talk about?

    Fleischmann's as nutrients?

    So I found a few old packets of fleischmann's in the back of the cupboard and I don't feel like rolling the dice on baking with them, has anybody thrown these in the last few minutes of the boil to serve as nutrient for the yeast you actually care about? Any idea on how much might be too much?

    Brownish/Bronze-ish coating on new aluminum pot

    So my 32qt aluminum pot just got here in the mail today and I filled it to the brim to see if the old electric stove could kick it up to a full boil, and after 45~60 minutes it managed to do the trick. However I've now got this brown coating up to the water line on the inside of the pot. Is...

    Oak chips question

    I'm going into secondary at the end of the week and i'll be racking onto some oak chips. I was planning on giving them a little bit extra roast in the oven. I've heard of people steaming their chips to sterilize them or soaking them in brandy, but i'm thinking the time in the oven should do...

    Is this acceptable as a brew kettle?

    I'm wondering if anybody has had any experience using these as brew kettles: http://www.target.com/Granite-Ware-Canner-Rack-Black/dp/B000BZSZQU/ref=huc_ic_1_pn The description doesn't really mention cooking in it and I'm not sure if it'll throw any off flavors into the wort. I imagine it...
