Ok, we are brewing beer not launching objects into space... j/k :D That has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. You should send some pics off to a few magazines, someone WILL write an article about that thing. :rockin: Are you brewing beer with other means, or are you...

Sounds like your feelings are hurt... :)

The new beer line will be fine.

Lagunitas IPA is one of my favorites. IMO that is what an IPA should taste like.

I didn't mix it much. I had my siphoning tube at the bottom to reduce oxygenation and just let it fill from the fermenter. I was thinking it would be mixed enough as I had the tube at an angle and the beer was spinning in the bucket. Hopefully it is mixed thoroughly enough.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies!

I have only kegged before, but since I broke my kegerator(bent the gas tube and leaked all the gas) :( I gave bottling a go. I weighed the priming sugar and put it straight into the bucket. I then added the beer from the primary. After bottling all of the beers I realized I never boiled the...

Actually they started going twist off last year.

I have noticed if you try to bring it in as a trade in over trying to get deposit money for it they are more likely to wave the deposit fee on a fresh keg. Of course it has been years since I have done this, so for all I know they are a bit stricter now. BevMo might be a good place to try...

We have a winner. :mug:

Good idea. Hopefully adding the color at the end will green it up and not make the end product look like early morning diarrhea. I hope it turns out OK. On the bright side, even if it does look like baby poop it should still taste fine.

This kind of stuff makes me never want to try someone elses homebrew. I think I will stick to my own.......:confused:

Do you have a tower? If you do, is it properly chilled?

You may want to connect a blow off to that thing, but I have to say it does look good.

If it was an iodine based cleaner you must dump it for sure. Iodine is POISON and will kill you. Star San is safer, but I wouldn't want a gallon of it in my beer.

1759+5= 1764 1st batch for me.

Assuming that it is safe yeast and not boiling the wort is insane IMO. There is a reason everyone tries to keep everything sterile as possible and we pitch the yeast shortly after boiling. It gives less time for infection. Even if you believe the container was sterile, if something nasty had...

Well, I made up a batch of this last night. I actually joined these forums just to give my input. I really like the looks of it thus far. I used 4 gallons of Martinelli's 100% Apple Juice with no preservatives. I ended up with an SG of 1.071. I think that it is higher than normal because I...

You will have a lower OG which will give you a lower APV on the finished product. Besides that let it ferment away and enjoy the end product!
