    Recipe help please! Second attempt at creating my own.

    Sorry I meant to include that. I'm going for more of an APA. I have alot of IPA's and hoppy beers on tap, so I'm trying to go for a more balanced not too hoppy pale ale. BeerSmith shows the IBUS being just a tad bit on the high side. I might try back down some of the late additions?

    Recipe help please! Second attempt at creating my own.

    Hi All! I'm still learning about all the different malts and variations. I'm consistently brewing good beers with great efficiency. I'm just trying to venture into the realm of making my own, instead of using others recipes. Thanks to all who have provided recipes, they are fantastic! Any ideas...

    Has anyone brewed the Creme Brulee Imperial Milk Stout out of BYO?

    Well, mine turned out fantastic. I brewed this for a friend that is not a beer lover, but loves vanilla, so I thought this would turn him. It didn't. Still is great though. Very dark and carmaley, nice vanilla on the nose but goes down extremely smooth. I only got 7.8% ABV from mine but my...

    My first Keggle build and I think I messed it up. Can you take a look at this please?

    Thanks for the advice. Today I took all the excess parts out and put the fitting straight to the ball valve like others have suggested. Cleaned it up alot! The whole thing is tighter doesn't spin, feels all around better and the dip tube now is align with the middle of the keggle. I was thinking...

    Great thanks again. Can you send me a link for the hosing I need? I will purchase a good bit for my MLT and drain of etc. Thanks! EDIT: Belay my last I found it on your site. 1/2" ID and 3/8" OD will work for my dip tube correct?

    My first Keggle build and I think I messed it up. Can you take a look at this please?

    Thank you mr bargain fittings that clears alot up. However, I cannot get any of the parts or NPT and all that to tighten down all the way like shown. It doesn't leak at ambient temp so hopefully if all goes well it will hold up under heat? I'm using the yellow gas pipe teflon with three wraps...

    Much thanks everyone! I was planing on breaking this in tomorrow. Looks like that's not going to happen. :(

    Would this allow the oring on the inside to seat properly?

    My first Keggle build and I think I messed it up. Can you take a look at this please?

    Thanks Golddiggie, and your right the dip tube is not even close to the bottom. It's a little over an inch off the bottom. I guess I could try flipping the tube around. Will the compression fitting still seat on the other side?

    My first Keggle build and I think I messed it up. Can you take a look at this please?

    I tried draining it level and at an angle. When it was level it drew less because the tube angles upwards. What kind of hose would last during a boil? If that's what your referring to.

    My first Keggle build and I think I messed it up. Can you take a look at this please?

    I bought all the parts from Bargain fittings. I followed the directions on their website to a T, but it didn't turn out right. Don't know if it's because it's one of those fatty kegs or what, but I DO know that there is over a gallon of water left over in the bottom that won't drain. I'm sorry...

    Just got a new keggle, How to build my new brewery?

    So I have one of the Coors kegs (no I didn't drink the pee water) that has the buldgy middle section instead of most peoples sleek slim ones. Question is, what is the best dip tube/valve combo for this? Been looking at them but can't decide. I would prefer something I could put against the tube...

    Last two brews have tasted like plastic! Please help!

    Great tip thanks! Do you use tap water? and if so, is it right out of the tap or hose? Thanks!

    Just got a new keggle, How to build my new brewery?

    All the heating elements and switches are great, however, I want to try to keep it a little more simple, and use banjo burners mabey.

    Last two brews have tasted like plastic! Please help!

    I have recently replaced my siphon tubing. I almost always keg. And the taste is there when I taste it out of the primary before hitting the keg and carbing. I guess it could be the siphon tubing, but it came from the HBS. I always pull at least a pint from the keg at first to clear the lines...
