    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    Hoegarden (sp) I think it tasted like gasoline mixed with spices. Hated and couldn't finish a bottle let alone a six pack. My father in law came to visit and drank it down like it was going out of style.

    Best Way To Cut A Keg??

    take it to the local stainless steel welder down the street with your stainless ball valve and have him do both for 20 bucks. Pick it up the next day and give him a couple of home brews. He did my other one for just the brews next time.

    Didn't think it'd be this easy...

    Now I know where all the CL freezers are going. Didn't think I had that much competition here in San Diego. :(

    Knowing when to stop..?

    do you guys keg in the dark? I've never needed a flashlight to keg. Do you have to clean out the gas line after the blowback?

    Homebrewing in NJ ILLEGAL w/o permit!!!

    I guess the place next to the inlaws is a shop rite or something like that. Attached to the left side of it is a booze store. Father in law calls it a packy or something. Not up on the NJ slang.

    Homebrewing in NJ ILLEGAL w/o permit!!!

    OK. I admit it. CA has some Ewwww places that I wouldn't want to walk in in the daytime let alone at night. Back on topic. Favorite Wings at hooters: Parmasean garlic wings. Favorite beer at hooters: Nothing. It's mostly BMC but it's cheap and you're at hooters.

    Homebrewing in NJ ILLEGAL w/o permit!!!

    They called it a package store or something. Wife is from Kearny, kinda right outside Newark. Kearny isn't bad but Newark is like Oakland. ;-) Don't judge California on Oakland. Really the place is kindof a dump. It's where the OAKLAND RAIDERS got their reputation. Stay away from Stockton...

    Longest time in primary?

    5 months. I brewed a wheat and forgot about it. Opened my brew cabinet and "oh my, what's that?" Kegged it up and it tasted great.

    Am I done? (almost braggot)

    I made a wheat beer last year and then got busy and forgot about it in the primary for, eh, now I'm embarrassed, 5 months. Kegged it, it was a little clear for a hefe but damn fine beer.

    Clearing a beer in the keg.

    I don't ever add an gelatin or clearing agents to my kegged brews and after the first glass or so they come out clearer than any other beer I've ever bottled. The scottish that I brewed a while back looked murky in the primary and I just went into the keg, primed in the keg, chilled for a week...

    Homebrewing in NJ ILLEGAL w/o permit!!!

    I'm from San Diego, California. My wife is from NJ. I've been there to visit the inlaws and seen the place. Crowded, crappy roads, mean drivers, mean people, Toll roads, smelly, dirty..I could go on but you get the idea. I was offered a job there but my wife didn't want to move back there so we...

    Thanks PurpleJeepXJ! I appreciate the help. How did you find this out? Are you a Refrigeration guy? Thanks for the info on the diverter fin as well. It took a long time to cool down and when I found that it got its cooling from the freezer I was wondering how to make it more efficient. I...
