This looks spectacular! You should make it a point to only serve smoked beers out of this.

That's the gift that keeps on giving all year long!

I made this last night with some whole grain flour and a chocolate stout. It turned out ok, but was pretty dense. It didn't rise as much as I had hoped. I need a flour sifter. Having never sifted before, what's the best way? Measure out 3 cups, then sift it into a mixing bowl, then pour...

Has anyone tried the beer bread that they are currently selling at walmart? It's a bomber sized bottle full of either ingredients, or premade dough. Directions say to add 1 bottle of beer (not a light beer), place in a pan, and bake. It's about $5 for the bottle. I'm curious to try it and...

I pulled a keg of Wit out of the fridge for a party to put something else in. Put it back in 3 days later and it still tastes great. It was at about 70-72 the while out of the fridge.

As the dry ice sublimated, the sealed bag would expand until it popped. The spray of hot wort would be pretty dangerous. Plus, the dry ice would now be floating freely in your wort. Even if the bag was sized correctly not to pop, I still don't think it would work. The CO2 gas would not be...

With a little more prodding, I was able to get the poppets out. I had to take a small diameter screw driver and push the poppet through from the outside.

Are there any types of posts that have poppets which stay in permanently? I recently bought some kegs and as much as I try, the poppets won't come out. It seems that they are meant to stay in there for good.

From the description, it's meant to hold oils and dressings. Doesn't seem like it's designed to hold pressure. I'm not saying for certain that it won't work, but I would be unwilling to use it for my own beer. I'd suggest using it for a batch of Apfelwein if you ever make some. This could...

Congratulations on both counts! I hope the job comes through, and I hope the beer is smooth and delicious! Brew on Brother!

Maybe I'll try mixing it with Sprite, as suggested above. Sounds like a safer solution and allows for individual preferences. Thanks!

I made a batch according to the apfelwein recipe, but used Strawberry Kiwi juice instead. I've not sampled it yet, but it's about 3 months old. It's already in a keg, carbonated, and chilling in the fridge. Could I open it up and dump in a gallon or so of juice to backsweeten it? Would I...

Are you looking to buy some equipment for your spouse? Or the ingredients to make a batch of beer? What is your target price range? I'm sure we can load you down with more options than you know what to do with. How long has your spouse been brewing, and what kind of equipment does he/she...

This is such a fun thread to read compared to all the other start-up threads. Usually they are doom & gloom within the first 3 posts. But I see sunshine and puppy dogs in here!!

If you get the appropriate harness setup, carrying the ~50lb corny shouldn't be a problem. As to keeping it cold, a keglove would probably be the best bet. And I'll second the small CO2 charger. It'll be much easier than a hand pump. Sounds like a fun costume, given enough time to construct...

If I were to boil it to make jam, I'm quite certain that the alcohol would boil off. You think it would boil out for the 10 or so minutes needed to bake cookies? I was hoping that it would last through that...

Of all the fruit addition threads I've read, I've never seen anyone comment about using the fruit afterwards. I hate to just throw away the 4lbs of raspberries that are currently soaking in my blonde ale. There has to be a use for the mush. Pancakes? Muffins? Bread? Cookies? Anyone...

I ordered my kegging setup from kegconnection.com as well. They had lots of options and I was able to create a kit for my needs. It got here quick and I've had no problems with it so far.

I ordered a couple of extract kits online last week. This was the first time I've ordered a vial of liquid yeast (white labs), I usually just get dry. Well, because I usually get dry, I forgot that the liquid was in the box. It's been in the box at room temperature for a week. I just...

http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=1197{159}37{158}587 Can this be used with the CO2 cartridges sold at walmart/sporting goods stores in the BB gun aisle? I thought I had read once about "food grade" CO2 dispensers, but can't think of where it was. I'd love to be...
