    Need some help from folks in RI/MA area

    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?

    Will the beer still be good...

    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?

    Batch sparging, and is it appropriate for..

    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...

    I'm back! Ready to Bottle...?

    Hey ya'll, it's been a while since i've hit the forums heavily... but i'm back and i've got a question. I've got a gallon of mead that looks like it's ready to be bottled. Should I rack this and let sit for a few weeks, or is it ok to go to bottles? Also, any suggestions as to how much...

    I'm brewing a batch of NB's English IPA. Came with: 2 oz UK Kent Golding 1 oz Yakima Magnum I've got 1/2 oz each of Saaz and Tettnang. Would it hurt the IPA to add both these? I just dont see myself using these hop pellets anytime soon, and i've had them since March. Also, the hops...

    Splitting a batch to keg/bottle

    I would like to bottle 1/4 of my batch of cider and keg the remaining amount. Is there any real complication to doing this process?

    Yet another first AG story

    Alright! I feel good. 4 extracts under my belt, and now 1 AG! I used Ed Wort's Haus ale recipe and right now it's going crazy (fermented in less than 12 hours). I missed the og by a few points (1.048 was my final) and I ended up with a bit less than 5 gallons (I'd say i was off by 1/2...

    Practical, or a money grabber?

    Someone spammed a Facebook group with this product. I think it's just a waste of money. http://sedexbrewing.com/

    Wort seems to have seperated...

    I made my first oatmeal chocolate stout the other day (Saturday) and everything went off without a hitch. OG was 1.060, a bit higher than expected but still no worries there. Now, it's fermenting and the yeast layer seems to have settled in the middle of my fermenter. I switched the blow off...

    Oatmeal Stout for the first time

    I was originally going to make a Chocolate Vanilla stout, but after reading around I decided to convert the recipe into an Oatmeal stout. Going to make this an extract recipe. I want to make this smooth and mildly bitter with some sweetness. Cold-steeping caught my eye in one of the posts...

    First time using my stirplate! Is it ready?

    I'm really itchin to start Cheeses' VCCA and right now I have a starter going on the stirplate. I left it on overnight (round midnight) and the stirbar ended up off balance in the morning.

    Trying to prep for my transfer to Secondary

    I am looking to start transfering my brew into the secondary so i've prepped everything to be sanitized. I'm a little worried though - I made a 5 gallon solution of OneStep into my 5 gal bucket. I have used it once ,but I didn't rinse it since then so it looks like there was a little residual...
