Got the freight train rolling on this today. Liberty hops at 60, 10 and F/O. Smells delightful, and I'm in to it for only $15/10 gal. Unlike @AzOr , neither keg will survive two months aging around here.

I serve four kegs, and on scant occassion I'll bottle off a keg for whatever reason. In addition to the serving kegs, I try to keep one or two regular beers kegged and ready to swap as well as all (1-3) of my barrel aged beers kegged as well. On top of that, I try to have 1-2 beers in...

For true! I got a lot of used kegs where one liquid line was too long for that keg and got flared at the bottom when it was compressed. Cutting that off with a dremel by feel to remove it was quite an adventure.

Is it really an accomplishment to just reach in there and grab a sturgeon or two?? I jest. Nice fish!

"The 15 g hdpe Container was opened twice to check progress. And again to add priming sugar." If I was to point to any one thing - I'd say that 5 gallons of empty headspace on a vessel opened more than once would be it.

Unless it's obviously changed, I'd be skeptical that sorbate has gone bad. Numerous things affect the ability of stabilizers to do their job. For example, K-Meta is really pH dependant. So there may just be a good chance that your wine needs a slightly higher dose for the effect you are...

Every month I ponder why our club meetings are on a Wednesday night. Then through a little fog I recall some Saturday night meetings that involved pickled fish, cigars, trolling Craigslist guys offering free nude photoshoots, and seeing the dawning of a new day. Yeah - Wednesdays are an...

I am quite jealous of those who can call you their LHBS.

I'm on a kick of lower ABV beers, and was noticing the lack of German lagers that fit the bill. Glad to see that it's doable. Will probably spin this one up this weekend.

It's six hours a week I don't have to listen to the dryer drone on. and it saves a quarter!

Without seeing the video, I can tell you that you are probably not crazy. There are numerous variants in keg post dimensions. It's possible for a slightly different style post to bottom out on the keg top before sealing the diptube/gasket. If such were aggressively tightened, it could crack...

I haven't seen an XKCD on here in a while.

Either we got trolled, or you found two baggies of dextrose. The PBW tastes fishy, soapy, and gets stuck in your teeth. Frankly, hard to miss.

Our brewing club has an annual group experiment where everybody brews the same base recipe but with one specific aspect that everyone has to do differently. This year the different aspect is sugar. The assumption was a saison as the base recipe, but I'd like to propose something English, as...

I can totally relate to this - but with still-warm cheese curds. Big package for the family, little package for me!
