An update -- After flushing the cornies with CO2, I hooked up the Bass coupler beer line to the corny beer line and the cornie gas connector to a blow-off line. I supplied dispensing pressure to the Bass keg and after all the foam I have two full cornies, which I can now control the...

Somebody gave me a keg of Bass Ale for Christmas. It's a 1/2 barrell commercial keg that requires a Grundy style "G" Sankey coupler. It's a cool gift, and I plan to make use of the keg as a keggle when it's empty. Rather than purchase a (probably) one-time-use Sankey "G" coupler, I rented...

That's correct. The recipe calls for Weyermann 2-row but he used Breiss. I think the Victory is supposed to provide the biscuit flavoring. I have both Sunshine and Fat Tire in the fridge, so I'll give them a try side by side soon. Where did you get your Sunshine clone recipe?

Update: I did a tripple comparison yesterday. I compared both the extract Fat Tire clone and my buddy's AG version -- basically the same recipe -- with Fat Tire. The results are that his color is basically spot on, but his batch does not have as much of a bready/malty flavor. Mine is much...

I know someone who used to save their stems until they had enough to fill a ziplock and then would boil them in a half gallon of water to make tea. According to him, the result was fairly potent. I would not waste choice buds doing this, but theoretically if you had a BUNCH of stems you...

I just finished a batch of a Fat Tire clone recipe that I fermented with this yeast. I had originally planned to use the recipe published in Zymurgy a while back, but my LHBS owner convinced me to try his recipe. Both of those recipes normally call for 1056 but as this had just become...

New Belgian's Trippel is one of my favorites, but I think it resembles a Belgian Golden Ale more than a trippel. I enjoy Fat Tire's malty character and have several friends that consider it one of their favorites, so I have been planning to brew a clone for a while. I just picked up a...

I recently purchased an Avanti kegerator that has been fitted for two taps. It will just hold two cornies and the CO2 bottle with dual regulators. Eventually I will drill another hole for the second hose so I can keep the bottle outside, but for now it's in the kegerator with the kegs...

I brewed a batch based on this recipe at the beginning of June -- a couple days after the second full moon in May, i.e., a blue moon. It turned out great... I took a 3 gal keg at four weeks to a birthday party and it was a great success -- everybody loved it. My buddy griped about the use...

I apologize for posting a link to another forum, but I thought this would be of interest regarding this topic: http://www.brew-monkey.com/brewschool/oxygenation.php

About two years ago I bought a liquid extract kit from AHBS with the liquid extract in the bucket. I ended taking a break from home brewing and did not get around to using the kit until earlier this year. When I opened the bucket there was mold on the inside of the lid. I went ahead and...
