+Irish Stout 5g +Wheat 5g +Stout 5g +Bock 5g =15204 I know I have made more, but I have failed to keep accurate records so far this year. :(

I just bought 2 pin lock kegs with connections for both from homebrewsupply.

I used this because I got the 10 packs for like 6 bucks. It has turned out nicely both times I have made this recipe. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007LQC3Q0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Red Barron is awful dont ever waste your money. I have the all metal italian and it works great. Like palys said it needs oiled every so often. I have no experience with the bench capper. A lot of people use them. If I could snag one for a good price I wouldn't hesitate though.

It should clear out in the fridge in a couple weeks. Assuming you will be bottle carbing since its 1gal. After 2-3 weeks carb/conditioning put it in the fridge for a week or 2 and it should clear. You can use gelatin. Since its a 1gal you can easily fit that in the fridge to cold crash a...

I am constantly amazed at how much I started not knowing everything at around 27. I will be 30 in a few months, and I feel as though I don't know anything at all. Sometimes I wonder how I remember to put my pants on in the morning.

P.E.T. bottles.... They don't look as cool as a glass bottle of your own brew, but they won't break. Although you have probably already bottled them.

I know absolutely nothing about this, so take this comment with a grain of salt... or... 1/2 a grain... Just by reading this thread my take on it is this... Think of making bread. You could do it with a bowl and a lot of hand kneading. Or you can use a bread machine. You are still in...

Worst beer I have ever had is Kid Rock's American Bad..... It is the ONLY beer I have ever dumped. And I have had some nasty beers back in college. I would rather drink a warm Busch Light than that horrid beer. When I lived in Michigan I bought a 12 pack of Michigan Beers and 2 of those...

Best advice for a new brewer. (Myself included cause I am on my... 5th? batch..) Leave it alone!! Don't mess with it until at least 2 weeks. Bottle it, and leave it alone for at least 2 weeks. Then leave it in the fridge for AT LEAST a week. I like all over new brewers was too anxious for...

I am a mod on other forums, and occasionally you'll get agents posting leading questions seeing what kind of responses they get. Just a heads up. :pipe:
