Heck yeah - I'm in!

69.7 + 4.5 gal of Nut Brown Ale = 74.2 gallons

Thanks IslandLizard. I figured no reason it shouldn't work, but wanted to make sure. Lbm - it's actually a dual regulator (3 gauges, 2 delivery pressure, and 1 high pressure). I've just ordered a wye-splitter and 3 shutoff valves. I'm assuming I don't need to order a female coupling to attach...

Hey, So about 18 months ago I bought a Brew Logic Dual regulator from Midwest when they were on a completely ridiculous sale. You know, looking forward to when I could actually start kegging. Well, the time has come, and I finally pulled the regulator out of its box to set stuff up and I...

This may be silly, but aside from the country of origin, is there any effective difference between AEB & AMCYL kegs? I'm looking to add a few 2.5 gal bad boys to the collection... Thanks for your input/experience!

Been following this thread for a few summers now, and even bought grain to brew it last year but then had a kitchen issue and had to pause my brewing for a few months (don't worry, back in full swing for a while now!) and just never got around to it. Just picked up a case of this year's version...

whoops - just realized i replied to an *oooooold* post! my bad. just ignore me... ;)

lol i imagine the ol' light bulb in a paint can assembly would work pretty well here... if you're worried about melting the foam, a thin layer of something that insulates might do it, like a rubber or silicone gasket/sheet where the paint can attaches to the chamber?

also interested... would want 2-4 20L carboys, depending on shipping cost. sent to NYC (zip: 11201). unfortunately, not planning to be anywhere near albany soon... going to Binghamton for the holiday, but that's still a good 2+ hr drive. let me know. thanks!

wow, you are a scholar and a gentleman (or, gentlewoman). consider it already paid forward, even if i'm not selected. thanks for your kindness/contribution to the community!

Hey Doc, It ended up turning out to be phenomenally yummy. Pretty much like cake! I may very well re-brew it for the coming holiday season if I have time (I also brewed the spiced bourbon stout, and that was such a big hit I will certainly be revisiting that one!). My final recipe was...

From the FastRack website: "FastFerment Accessory Kit- Coming Soon! There will also be an accessory kit available in the next 2-4 months. It will consist of 2 stands and straps/handles for easy transportation. One small stand where the bottom ball will just be off the ground, making it as...

Purchased two sets of grain/hops/yeast for my best friend's next two brews as his birthday present. And while I was at LHBS, clearly had to get supplies for my next one, too. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

8 months, huh? That's actually reassuring to me -- I mean I know that autolysis generally isn't a concern anymore these days, but... I've been wondering because I have two brews that have been in on the yeast cake since January. I brewed them before going away for a month, and threw 'em in the...

Sixpoint does their "Spice of Life" series - a Single Hop IPA that comes out every month with different hops (otherwise all is the same recipe from grain bill, through fermentation schedule). And excellent way to really see how a specific hop contributes to a beer. Here's the current Spice...
