    New York Tap a draft

    I bought a tap a draft system (http://www.williamsbrewing.com/mobile/TAP-A-DRAFT-STARTER-SYSTEM-no-air-shipment-P729.aspx) thinking it would be a good entry into kegging. Ultimately I ended up scoring a good deal on some corny kegs and never got to use the tap a draft set up. In addition to...

    Picnic taps - new kegger

    So I just recently started kegging, had a brown ale carbing in my chest freezer at about 40, and 11psi for a week or so. I went to pour some last night and I got a ton of foam... I shut off the gas and it came out slowly but no more foam. Should I bleed the pressure before I slap on my picnic...

    Wlp300

    So I brewed a batch of the Beecave Heffe and used my new ferm chamber... Had a week plus of fermentation at 66-68. Then I went away and I guess from the moisture in the chest freezer the temp probe came untaped from the side of the bucket and the reflectix I had around that also came undone...

    Coupon code?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but does anyone have any coupon code for Williams Brewing? I'm looking to order the oxygenation set up from them. Thanks in advance for any help :) Sent from my iPhone using the Home Brew Talk App

    Gravity samples

    So I did my second BIAB batch yesterday & took samples after the mash & after chilling to check my efficiency/gravity. I have the samples in mason jars (was waiting for both to get room temp) & there are two layers... Do I shake it together to check the gravity or just take the top liquid...

    Milk crates

    Can anyone that uses the heavy duty square milk crates (not the lightweight filing type ones) confirm the number of bottles they fit? I've heard a case of 24 regular 12oz long necks but how about the Sierra Nevada stubby types and 22oz? Sent from my iPhone using the Home Brew Talk App

    Ferm Chamber - Nostalgia Effects 18 bottle?

    I found a groupon (http://touch.groupon.com/deals/gg-nostalgia-electrics-18-bottle-wine-chiller) for this model cooler (http://m.homedepot.com/p/Nostalgia-Electrics-18-Bottle-Wine-Cooler-EWC018BLK/204486882)... Is this big enough to fit an ale pail bucket or a better bottle with airlock? With...

    Gingerbread Ale

    I am looking to make a gingerbread ale based on the instructions in Radical Brewing for this holiday season. I like Browns, Porters, and Stouts... Any idea on which would be best to use as a base for this? Also any ideas on a basic extract with steeping grains recipe to use within that style...

    Refrigerator/temp controller

    Probably a dumb question but my parents are giving me a fridge that has the freezer in top. I want to get a temp controller and use it as a ferm chamber. Will that impact the freezer? Wod like to use that for hops and frozen food.

    Tap a draft or party star

    I am looking at moving away from bottling at least somewhat, but not looking to fully invest in a kegging system (yet!). I saw both the party star & tap a drafts and I'm wondering if people have positive experiences with them and if they'd recommend buying either as an intermediary to full on...

    Partial mash questions...

    So far I have only brewed extract and extract with steeping grains... I have done a few kits and a few recipes off here. I want to move up to partial mashes. Is there any place specific that I can go to get an explanation of the process? I saw a sticky for batch sparging, is that what I...

    Mr Beer...

    So my girlfriends mom found out that I brew and got me a Mr Beer kit for Christmas. Anything special I can do to spice it up? Was thinking of swapping the yeast for like us05 and maybe try to get some additional hops in there? I think it's classic American light, so in guessing something like...

    Beer of the month

    Anyone part of a beer of the month club? Seems like a cool idea to try some new stuff that's not local. Wondering if anyone can suggest a good place to go thru! Thanks :)

    Vacuum sealer

    I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right area or not, but I was looking to get some bulk hops and portion them out into vac sealed packages & freeze them. Anyone know of a decent vac sealer that's decent quality without breaking the bank?? Thanks for any advice!!

    Going from 5gal to 2.5gal batches

    I am thinking of going to smaller batches to try to do a full boil on the stove top, experiment a little more, and try some new beers. Obviously I know you would reduce the ingredients and plan to play around a bit in beersmith.. My question is what would you do for yeast? Most batches I've...

    Vegetable/herb beer..

    A brew club I just recently joined is doing a small challenge for October which is a vegetable/herb/spice beer. I wanted to try to do a 2.5 gal extract with steeping grains pumpkin spice ale, but since pumpkins aren't currently in season was going to sub in sweet potatoes. This is my first...

    Northern Brewer - Caribou Slobber

    I cooked my extract batch yesterday, topped off to 5 gal & pitched a rehydrated dry yeast pack... Came home today & the airlock has wort blown into it & a lil bit on the top of my bucket lid... Wondering if I should take the air lock off quick & cover the hole and quick wash/sanitize and put...
