How well does the charger work? I've always wanted one, but they have terrible reviews on Amazon and elsewhere. I suspect some folks just don't follow directions or use common sense when it comes to using one of those to push (not actually carb) beer
Yea I found everything at the LHBS. This turned out really great. The white labs London ale yeast worked great, too...most compact yeast cake I've ever seen. Will brew another AG 2.5 gallon batch soon and throw in some coffee beans after primary.
I know it's getting a little warm for this one but I've brewed a lot of APAs and such lately. Going to do. 2.5 gallon batch. Where is everyone getting the lactose and maltodextrine? Can you pick these up at the grocery if not at the LHBS? Also this will be my first half batch. How much yeast...
