No shipping, sorry. Local pickup only.

I have 6 ball lock corny kegs and 1 6 (or 6.5 can't remember) gallon carboy for sale. $45 each. The kegs all hold pressure but could probably use new O-rings as they've been sitting for about a year.

+5 ipa 2074

Haven't had a beer in 12 days, haven't brewed in over 6 months. Right now I'm brewing an IPA and I just cracked open a Founders Centennial IPA. And it's a beautiful day in Houston after crap weather. Cheers!

+5 3344 Amber Ale

It's getting warm here in Houston and I want to brew a good Raspberry Hefe for the ladies to enjoy by the pool (life is good!). A couple quick questions for anyone who has done it: 1.) I plan on using frozen raspberries in the secondary. Is 2 pounds enough? 2.) I have a glass 5 gallon...

Thanks guys. I think I will go the route of doing a starter in a 1 gallon jug. How much does it matter if I just make a ~4L starter from the get go without stepping up from 1L? I'm going to try my best to get the wort chilled down to 45 before pitching. This may be a challenge to do with my...

Thank you Cyclman. I'll get a gallon jug when I pick up the ingredients and use that.

I have no idea why I posted this in the DIY forum! Oops! Mods please move!

I'm going to brew my first lager in a couple of weeks (Mexican Cerveza from DeFalcos in Houston) right before I go out of town for two weeks. My plan is to brew it and then put the bucket in the kegerator at ~50 for while I'm gone, then bring it up to room temp for 24-48 hours, keg it and store...

+5 Oktoberfest Ale = 23037

I bought 2 six packs to drink and 2 bombers to age. I've only had one so far. I agree that it could use some time to mellow out a bit, but I enjoyed it and didn't find an overbearing alcohol taste. At least not more so than I'd expect from a 10% ABV beer.

Another vote for an Oktoberfest Ale. I'm doing three of them this year.

He's only going 82, doesn't even get a written warning, has a killer story where the cop is a homebrewer and then he has to listen to buzzkill lecture him like he just got his permit. This is too funny.

This is interesting. I brew extract kits with steeping grains. I use tap water for the initial 2.5 gallon boil and then use Ozarka Spring Water. I get a slight background taste that is something like what the OP describes. Not something bad, but an element I can taste in every beer I brew...
