Bought a conversion kit from Kegconnection.com and the rest is history. Now if I could just measure and space correctly... :tank: doesn't matter to me, as long as it's functional... will be filling two kegs this Saturday :mug:

i'm curious... i received a catalog from these guys recently and saw some used keg systems for $130... i bottle, but do have a fridge in my garage that holds almost nothing. i could easily fit these 5 gallon kegs in there. i could start with one and eventually build up to five, with...

Tonight I am gonna brew a AHS Texas Bock kit... I am doing the mini-mash version of the kit and just wanted to confirm at what point i would add 2 lbs of honey, so to make a Texas Honey Bock... I am assuming I should just add the honey when I add the malt extract, it this correct...

I have been brewing off and on for that last several years, but recently (my last 3 or 4 batches) I have started experiencing some inconsistancy with carbonation. I never had problems before. Only about half of my beers have been carbonating properly. In fact the ones that are carbonated...

Well Friday night some friends and I brewed up the AHBS Douple IPA... With all the extra sugars in this one I kinda assumed I might have a blow over problem... The kit calls for 9 lbs of LME and 1 lb. of corn sugar. I however added the 1% alcohol boost in addition, so this thing had 11 lbs...

Don't know if this has been posted, but I thought I would post it... Now THAT'S a CHRISTMAS TREE !!!

Austin Homebrew offers Coriander seeds and Sweet Orange Peel... http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=468 http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=469 I was thinking about brewing their Blue Moon or New Belgium Sunshine Wheat and adding the...

I brewed an AHBS Vanilla Porter on Nov 3rd and racked to my secondary yesterday. I also used there alcohol boost option which I have used successfully in the past. Eight days in the primary and my gravity went from 1.070 to 1.020 :ban: 6.6% ABV :mug: My previous brewing experience tells...

I got started brewing again today after about a year off... I did my partial boil and mini-mash outside on a propane burner for the first time. I bought a Vanilla Porter kit from AHBS and was supposed to steep at 45 mins @ 155 °F. However, I did not turn off the heat on my burner...

I have brewed 4 batches, always on my stove, in my apartment. Haven't brewed in over a year, but now I own a house and a new outdoor gas grill with side burner. Getting ready to start a new batch weekend after next... Has anyone used their side burner on their outdoor grill to boil their...

i am still sipping on my pumpkin ale and cherry wheat, but tonight i am also sampling my double chocolate stout after just a week. only tried one, alcohol taste very strong as it should be with 6.6 % ABV. chocolate taste a bit more mellow than i expected, after trying other dc stouts...

Me and couple of buds brewed up a nice AHBS mini-mash Bavarian Hefe today... 1% alcohol boost option and i got a nice 1.060 OG out of it... Blow off tube in place just in case (from what i read about hefe's)... looking forward to this one... :mug: P.S. Fatabbot, this one was on the spur of...

I have read from numerous members around here that Hefeweizen's have a tendancy to blow off. it has me a bit timid about using an airlock on my primary bucket this upcoming weekend. I am brewing AHB's Bavarian Hefeweizen... and several people have mentioned they had blow offs with that kit...

Wow, impressed with this one too... nicely carb'd already. as i stated in another thread, my first brew took 3 weeks to fully carbonate. However, this pumpkin ale is well on its way... Has a nice mellow pumpkin taste with some nice hop flavor as well. Quite a nice mix of...

ok, this is my second brew and based on the results of my first brew and it's carbonation after 1 week, before I popped the top on my Cherry Wheat, I tipped the bottle upside down twice. maybe i shouldn't have... beer came out of the bottle upon popping the flip top and the head was...

anyway, been checking out more of the kits at AHBS and i may have narrowed it down to these: AHS Belgian White Beer AHS Bavarian Hefeweizen AHS Vanilla Porter or AHS Oatmeal Stout Ale all 4 seem to be quite popular on the Recipes & Purchase Ranking chart who has brewed any...

well yesterday was very successful if i do say so myself. had a couple of friends come over to help me bottle up my cherry wheat and pumpkin ale. after the bottling we brewed a Double Chocolate Stout. All of this time we were drinking my first home brew, a John Bull American Beer... so...

All my Grolsch drinking pays off tomorrow when I bottle...

Three weeks in the bottle, enjoying a COLD one now... Whoever suggested I tip the bottles over between week 2 and 3, Thank you so much. Carbonation has definately taken hold... My FIRST BREW Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks to all of you who have helped me along the way... Love this Sport...
