A group of us are making 5 g batches and are planning on kegging. Our current plans on splitting the batch once it is ready is to grab some growlers and split it up between the 4 of us. We would just head over and refill when we wanted. I was wondering how long could I expect the beer to stay...

So it has been about 2 years since I have had a chance to brew. Have been moving and busy with work. Now since I am finally moved I got lucky and found some friends who are looking to get into brewing. Now I'm the "experienced one" :eek: that is in charge of introducing new people into the...

One of my coworkers just gifted me a corny keg that he is having leaks on. He said if I can fix it I can keep it. I noticed that one of the sides has some wiggle to it. The ring looks good and it has been looked over by a few people. I don't have a kegging set up right now but if I believe I...

So I bought a dip tube and 3pc ball lock from brewhardware. Great equipment and service. Will be getting more from them in the future. After installing it I realized I probably put it a little to high. It is about 3/8 off the bottom of the dip in the keg. That doesn't bother me. I read...

I would like to start culturing yeast strains but I plan on moving in the next few months. I'm currently living in Hawaii and will be moving somewhere on the mainland. I was planning on shipping my yeast to a friend who lives nearby my new home to cut down on the time it will be exposed to the...

I have a chest freezer that I got off craigslist awhile back and fixed up for a ferm chamber. Thing works like a dream. I didn't get to brew for about 8 months and had to clean it out to prep for a batch. While cleaning I noticed some of the rust spots I had fixed came back and the paint was...

Planning on buying the bayou classic kab6 and some flash sheeting for a wind guard. I was planning on cutting the sheets down for size and tucking them into the arms around the side. Do I need to attach the sheeting to the legs or does it stay in place on its own? The burner is not part of a...

I am going to be buying a kegging kit and plan on having 2 kegs. I have a freezer I turned into a fermentation chamber but can also swap it to a kegerator. I will be buying another fridge/freezer to use. I found a commercial fridge that you see when buying drinks. I am asking for some...

I recieved a $25 gift card from the family for Lowes. I was thinking of buying a small pump to recirculate my wort chiller water. I used to brew on the patio and since that is now turned into a bbq area I have to do it in the garage. This makes drainage a problem. What kind of specs/pump...

So I have the hole cut in the top. I found a place here that can do welding for pretty cheap. I am planning on moving to all grain. I am going to start with a BIAB method. Already have the bag on order. What I need is to install a ball valve in the keggle. Should I go welded or non welded...

So I finally got my keggle and was doing a test boil to see if/how long it would take to boil about 7gal of water in it. I was really hoping I would not have to go out and buy a new burner. I got a little way in and it shut off. After swearing a bunch I looked on the boards and saw some...

So I have been trying to find a keg to make into a keggle for a long time. After turning into my street I noticed my neighbor has a keg sitting in his garage. I gave him $20 bucks and I finally have my keggle. Cut the hole in the top and I am soaking it in bleach right now. The question is...

So I noticed my LHBS advertising on the site that they have some new hops in stock. I also know that sometimes they run out for the rest of the year. This makes me want to stock up on hard to get hops. Which ones typically run out or are hard to get until the next season? Also whats your...

I will be going back to Chicago area in a few months for vacation. Was thinking of picking up some hops and bringing them back with me on the plane. Saves on the rediculous Hawaii shipping rates. Now if I bring back a few pounds of whole hops it is going to look like drugs. Has anyone tried...
