Hi all! I decided last minute to do a watermelon-lime tequila seltzer for my son's birthday next week. I'm planning on doing a non-fermenting method given the short time window. I've done vodka seltzers before and they've turned out pretty good. Thinking like, 1L tequila to 5 gal (should...

All, Making 5 gal of seltzers for a birthday party coming up - doing the easy route with vodka, water and force carb. For fruit, thinking of doing blackberry lime. I'll use lime juice for the lime but planned on doing blackberries. Do I need to sanitize them before using? I know I would for...

So my old craigslist Fridge I had converted died. I'm looking for a new fridge to convert into a tower kegerator. My old fridge could only fit 1 Corny inside and I'd like to upgrade to two (and keep my 5# co2 inside). For now it would be nice to have a cold keg "on deck" but will eventually will...

A little while ago, my (cheap, first one bought) copper immersion chiller broke and I opted for an overall upgrade to a plate chiller. I've tried two batches since then and haven't gotten my new "cooling" system to work. The major problem revolves around two factors: My pump is not self-priming...

So I did my first All Grain brew yesterday. Made an IPA with 2-row, Munich, and Crystal 77 Grains and, according to brew house efficiency calculator, hit about 85% efficiency. Great start! ...And then everything went south. During my cooldown, my immersion chiller popped a leak, spitting (a...

So I'm making a Coffee Blonde Ale after having one that was extremely delicious. However, my fermentation seems to be stuck at FG: 1.034 - resulting in a too sweet beer. I used Safale 05 but we had a cold snap the day after I brewed (I live in Florida so the house was down in the low 60s) and...

Hi all - I'm giving a new recipe a try. I've never really done a recipe "from scratch" like this before but I've done a few where I base beers off of clones or a few recipes. I'm looking for a not too sweet, citrusy watermelon IPA. I got the idea from Hell or High Water from 21st...

Does anyone know of/have a recipe for a Funky Buddha Nib Smuggler Clone? I'd prefer Extract but even an all-grain would help me get there. I love this beer and I'd like to try my hand at recreating it. I've never done a Porter or even a Stout to even know where to start.

Hi All! I'm hoping for a little advice. I brewed Midwest Supplies Fresh "Squished" Extra kit about 6 months ago and loved it. I've got a wedding coming up and wanted to do a couple kegs for the rehearsal dinner. I've decided to go with a version of the Fresh Squeezed Clone. I've brewed...

Hey all, there's a deal over at midwest supplies right now for 4 unconditioned kegs (bundled). I jumped on the deal because it was such a good one. However, I really only want 1 additional keg right now (limited storage space in the apartment). Anybody want to buy the other 3? (individually...

I'm doing a Hop Slam clone next weekend and I need about 2 lbs of honey. I was wondering if anyone had any preference on a brand for honey to use when brewing.

All, There is a new Local Homebrew Store in Orlando. It's just south of Downtown on Curry Ford. It's grand opening was today and I went in to get some ingredients for my next batch. I was very pleasantly surprised. The store is fairly small but the selection for ingredients is very good...

I just finished racking my IPA for secondary fermentation/dry hopping. As I was cleaning my Ale Pail a small crack right at the base of it. I checked and it was definitely leaking (though must have been slow leak). My assumption is that the beer/yeast clogged the hole eventually and all was...

Quick question, I'm carbonating my first beer and I had to give it a taste after about about 2.5 days. It tastes good (Woohoo!) but it tastes like it still needs a little bit more carbonation. The head was very thick and creamy so I think it's getting there but the beer tastes just a bit flat...

I posted on another thread before but I'm re-posting because I think there is another underlying issue. Original: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=6946812#post6946812 Background: I kegged an IPA and when I put the keg to pressure, there was CO2 leaking out of the little...

So I kegged my first beer today! But...I found out my pressure relief valve is leaking. It's an old firestone keg. I've read about a few similar issues online so I went ahead and bought a new lid. In the mean-time, I'm worried about my beer. I kegged it, pressurized it, and then disconnected...

First off, I'm finally back to brewing after a WAY too long hiatus. I just did a Hop Scare IPA from midwest and was thinking about adding some sort of clarifying agent once I get it into my secondary. It would be strictly an aesthetic type of thing but wanted to see what you all thought...

Ok, I feel bad because I've been posting a lot of these types of threads as I'm evaluating several potential refrigerators to turn into a kegerator. However, I think I've found the one. I searched on here for threads related to this model but couldn't find any. It's a Tura-TGM-5R model with...

Has anyone done a kegerator conversion with this type of fridge? GE 5.7 Cu Ft: http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/100293059/general-electric-gmr06aaz My main concern is that is looks short and wide/deep.
