What I was thinking of doing is getting a primary dual gauge regulator, and connecting a set of 3 secondary regulators to that. I plan on using 2 kegs, possibly at different PSI settings, and a beer gun. I figured 3 adjustable regulators would be the way to go, since I can't control PSI with a...

Starting to get into kegging, and I want to build a Keezer. I figured a dual faucet tower would be good to go with for a while, and from what I have been reading, Perlick faucets seem to be the way to go. I do cider, and the 630SS seems to be recommended for wine, so close enough. So then I...

Anyone ever try one of these for filtering their cider? It has a 5 micron and 1 micron filter, all done in one pass. If you already do kegging, it looks like a simpler, less expensive option compared to a Buon Vino Mini Jet Filter. Dual Beer Filter

Ok, so I got bored, and I thought maybe I should do some practical math. So I was wondering, how much beer is in the beer line? Well, using our friend math, and the formula Volume = Pi * R Squared * Length, here's what I came up with. I figured it out for a 10 foot line. Want to figure for...

Ok, so I am going to be slowly moving from bottling to kegging, Just got two older used kegs the other day, and they appear to be Firestones. When I took them apart, I noticed that the gas dip tube is nylon, and narrower than the replacement stainless steel dip tubes. They are discolored, but...

Just saw this FastFerment 7.9 Gallon Plastic Wall Mount Conical Fermenter at my LHBS. It looks nice, but the optional stand is not practical because it does not allow any room to remove the yeast collector or attach the filling tube. Anyone have one? Any thoughts?

Looking around the LHBS, and I saw a couple cider kits. They seem to contain everything except dextrose and water. A little bit pricey at about $40 each, but I figure that's about what I'd spend on 6 gallons of cider and yeast anyways. First one I will try is Brewers Best Cider House Select...

Going to start a new cider tomorrow, and I needed some yeast. So, Off to the LHBS I went. I was considering Nottingham or S-04, but when I got there, they were out of the Notty. At that point i noticed a "new" yeast that they just got in. Anyone have experience with this yeast? Brewers Best...

My "go to" juice used to be one where the only ingredients are Apple Juice and Malic Acid. That was it. Unfortunately, that juice is now $5.49 a gallon. They also have another juice that has the following ingredients: Filtered water, apple juice concentrate, calcium gluconate, calcium...

McKenzie's Lazy Lemon. Brand new, on the market about 2 weeks. It comes in a tall brown bottle, with a twistoff cap Nice yellow coloring, with a citrus smell. First taste, lemony, tart, but not overbearing. No apple flavor can be tasted in this. Lightly carbonated. It is about $8.50 for a 6...

Just saw this last night at Wegmans. It is advertised as "The brew with a crisp apple bite", and "Crisp like an apple, brewed like an ale". I haven't tried it yet, but was wondering if anyone else has.

So I went shopping today and picked up six retail ciders that I haven't tried before, but have wanted to. I will be posting my reviews as they are drunk, or I am drunk. :D :tank: :mug:

They all said I was crazy for having a dozen carboys and 20 cases of beer bottles. Now we have Hurricane Sandy bearing down on us. And all the empty carboys and bottles have been filled with water. Suddenly, I'm not so crazy... :D Ridin' The Storm Out!

Started 4 gallons of local pressed cider last Sunday. It was 1.055 right out of the jugs, so I did not add any sugar. I added yeast nutrient, yeast energizer, liquid pectic enzyme, and a starter made from Safale S-04. After 5 days, I have about 2 inches of sediment in the bottom of the carboy...
