i love sodastreams portability. and canking really has it down. i would combine sodastream with oxebar 4's and just have lots of them. you can keep them in coolers and just swithc to the taps as needed . they are the lightest and prolly cheapest. ultraversatile and lots of fun

anyone else use a "shank tank"

i have a temp twister collecting dust . if i ran ground water through my temptwister sitting in ice bath before it goes in my wort chiller will it cool the wort faster. i have found that brewing outside in the hot sun gets the boil up very very quick but on the flip side it takes longer for...

i think its 1 tsp of nutrients ( i use DAP) per 5 gallon . i use 1/2 per 2 -2.5 gallons. grahams cider recipe is the best. use motts apple juice also the best IMO . https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/grahams-english-cider.107152/ this thread is good ...

anxiously awaiting for it to lager/ clear . ill give it about a week , i cant wait. ambient temp fermenting like in the old days is so nice. no ferm fridge / temp controller. no ice baths, no coils. so much easier . only now it makes good beer. lol

just kegged a munich helles after 5 days pressure fermenting in this keg. it worked perfectly. my concern of kreusen cleaning was baseless as a 3 hour oxyclean soak cleaned this thing spotless. i have seen a few websites i think williams for one, advertise this as a pressure fermenter...

With dry yeast not so much. I have forgot to aerate or done a very poor job aerating and have never noticed a difference on final product. Obviously no starter needed with dry yeast but I even gave up rehydrating after not seeing a difference with direct pitch. Lastly I only add nutrients...
