Years ago i had a package marked as delivered, but I never found it. (I believe it was stolen). I called up MoreBeer, they quickly asked if I wanted a refund or replacement - I still wanted my order. They shipped a new order out almost immediately. I still order regularly from them, glad to...

The only way I've been made aware of codes is through HomeBrewFinds.com.

Nope, I bought a small pump to use with it though. I chose not to use it on my first brew as I am not used to using one yet. Thanks for the warning. One reason I didn't use the pump since I am not well versed in priming/using yet. I may try something like 1.7 on my next mash and see if it...

Just completed my first batch on a Digiboil kettle with DigiMash upgrade. I used to use a 3 tier propane setup, and moving to the Digiboil I have never felt more in control of the brew day. I hit all the expected numbers using Brewfather software. I am excited to taste the results! It did...

Done! Happy brewers friend subscriber!

Thanks for the feedback. The comments confirm what I was thinking. In the short term I have increased my pressure by 1-2 psi and can tell a difference in the carbonation level. Beers have poured well so far, but I have historically had intermittent foam problems even at my old setting. So, it...

Currently, my beer pours well most of the time. Proper head, decent carbonation, not too foamy. However, I feel my beer is typically little under-carbed to my liking. If I raise the regulator a couple PSI to get a little more carbonation, will I need to immediately replace and increase my...

My last refill was about $12 for a 20 lb tank and $15 for a 5 lb at Nexair. Not sure why the 5 lb was more expensive -- I would have figured price per pound would be higher, but not to that degree. Either way, I am happy with their pricing but I'll probably keep my focus on 20 lb refills.

I'm in. This sounds great!

I recently received a can of this and was quickly reminded how much I love (and miss) this beer. Living in TN now, it is hard to come by. Looking for a recipe as well. I may just take a stab at it and see what happens. Been thinking of contacting the brewery for tips, will report back if I...

How did you set your temperature controller in the collar. It looks like the controller is flush against the collar, but then you also have a project box or something on the other side to hold the wiring?

Brewed this for the first time about a month ago. Everything has seemed fine, but I took a sample today that measured in at 1.024 (about 50% attenuated). Could this be thrown off because of the Simply Limeade being added and not able to be fermented? It tastes pretty good, but don't know if I...

So what do you think changed that made it taste ok on the second round? Did you change yeast, too, or just the amount and time in the boil for the salt?

I had a beer that a fellow homebrew group member critiqued as "popcorny." I didn't pick it up, I need to try it again soon and see if I can taste it. His thought was that I might have under pitched my yeast. Enough yeast will clean that flavor out. As far as the inconsistency I had another...

The only thing that jumps out at me is the amount of pumpkin pie spice. A little spice goes a long way, and I used 2 tsp total of spices in my last 5 gal batch, I would think .75 tsp in 1 gallon would be a little much? Just a thought though. If its too much, or too little, it's only a gallon...
