Has anyone added fruit flavoring in the keg? I have an American wheat that is just a touch too bitter, and was wondering if a little sweetness would help balance it out? It's force carbing now. I thought about maybe boiling some blueberries or raspberries and straining, then adding that directly...

Wow. My Guinness clone just won against the commercial version in a pre St. Patty's Day blind taste test judged by no other than SWMBO. Nuff said. Quittin my day job and starting a brewery. SWMBO said so.

So I have a friend who really wants to get into home brewing and loves Shiner Bock. I was gonna have him over for my next brew day, and I want to make something that he would really enjoy. I don't, however, have the capability to lager yet, so I was wondering if anybody had an ale recipe that...

Hey everybody, thans in advance for any help. I am relatively new to kegging, and I am trying to troubleshoot a CO2 leak in my system. I have a 1-regulator, 2 keg system with a T. It was fine until a couple weeks ago, when I noticed my tank slowly getting lower and lower every day, and I wasn't...

I have some priming sugar left over from my bottling days, and was wondering why more people don't carb in kegs with priming sugar; it seems like it would save some CO2 since you're not using alot of CO2 to force-carb. Is it because the excess trub causes dip-tube clogging, or is it just a...

This is the type of setup I'm looking for. It comes with either a Johnson or Penn temp controller/thermometer. $400 seems a little steep, plus I still have to get the keg(s) and connectors. The freezer sells for 212.45 new at Best Buy. What do you think? Good deal or too steep? Thanks...

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com Awesome. How would you like to be the guy that was shopping for cereal one second, and the next second you're running from a charging bull trying to gore you at max speed? That bull was hauling @$$.

Cooking fajitas tonight, and i'm sick of the same old tired store-bought seasoning. I have a charcoal grill, some skirt steak, and some boneless skinless chicken thighs and breasts. And of course, onions and bell peppers. Any marinade/seasoning suggestions? I've already got some kick-A$$...

I had to share this/gloat about this with as many people as possible! I hit my first hole-in-one yesterday! Hole #2 at Beacon Lakes, 125-yard par 3. Hit a knock-down shot with my 9-iron and aced it. Freaking beautiful. Came home and drank beer and cooked a beer-can chicken. Heck of a day...

Hey all, I am new to all this, and I was wondering if one of those 5 gallon plastic water jugs would suffice for a secondary fermenter; you know, one of the "water cooler" jugs. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance, Purdy
