People in the Rhode Island / South Coast MA area - Where do you get your CO2 tanks refilled? Will any Paintball supply store re-fill them for you?

Wow! How'd that happen? I used Glass primaries for a while, but I converted for one reason: CLEANUP! It helps that the bucket has a spigot on the bottom for easy racking. I still use glass secondaries for obvious reasons.

Anybody? :\

I have a couple kegs of brew in my kegerator right now, but i'm thinking about lagering in the same fridge and i'd need to take the kegs out to make room. The question is - will it kill the beer's flavor after cooling, warming, then cooling the kegs again?

Very nice. Thanks Fly!

I am almost ready to brew my 3rd AG batch, and i've had a lot of success with Batch Sparging. Can I use this technique any time I brew? More specifically, I am brewing NB's Phat Tyre clone (10 lbs of grain). I don't brew anything crazy (grain bill is usually below 12 lbs) so I'd like to...

What is your method of transfer? You shouldn't lose much if you rack it right. How much water are you talking about losing anyway ?

If it is only open to new englanders, i'd guesstimate in the 500- 700's? Would anyone think more?

I didnt find any topic on this yet... Who's excited, and who's thinking about entering? Anyone participate last year? Samuel Adams – America’s World Class Beer

I was in New Orleans earlier this summer and I loved Abita Amber. Anyone have a good recipe for this delicious concoction?

If you've got it, a massive whisk works well (I use a restaurant grade balloon whisk). Gotta be quick if the heat is on. I had a few burn spots yesterday, but nothing too big.
