I have been hearing about the Sanyo 4912 as the main mini fridge to get to turn into a keggerator for 2 corny kegs. I found a place on line that has them still I was wondering if the Sanyo SR - 4912M is the same as the 4912. Or if the 'M' makes a difference or not? Any good substitutions...

I was wondering if anyone here transports their wort. I am mainly wondering how it would be done, if at all. Lets say you go to a friends house for a brew day. Either because he has equipment you don't have and/or you have equipment they don't have. So you help your friend brew a batch of...

There are a couple stores that have 4.6cf mini fridges for good prices. Would that be large enough for 2 5gal kegs and a gas bottle (20oz paintball)? How tall are the 5gal kegs and how big around?

I recently tried Magic Hat #9 due to some recommendations on this forum. I found it at my local liquor store and bought a 6 pack. It was good, but not great. Last night I was at a local bar that had it on tap, it was GREAT!!!! I also notice this every year with SA Oktoberfest(my personal...

Anyone ever go to the Sam Adams Beer Lover's Choice? As some of you might know, every Sam Adams brews two different types of beer and takes it around the county letting the people decide what one is better. The winner gets added to the line up the following year. This year it is a Pils vs...

I bought a belgian wit kit from homebrewery.com. It came with a large bag of DME (pre-hopped), a specialty grain (needing to be steeped), Irish moss, bitter orange peel, coriander seed, and Safale us-05 yeast. First off I decided to keep the US-05 for later and go with WLP400 (belgian wit)...

I got a Belgian Wit kit from homebrewery.com. It is a extract kit with specialty grains and seasonings (orange peel and coriander seed). I didn't know what yeast it was going to come with so I bought a pack of SafBrew WB-06 (wheat beer). The kit came with SafAle us-05. Which one should I use...

Tomorrow is the day of truth. My first batch will be taken from the fermenting bucket and bottled. I have been reading up on all this home brewing stuff and I guess I am now super paranoid about a bacterial infection. I used a pre-hopped can of Cooper's lager and some corn sugar. I boiled...

I am very new to home brewing. My first batch is in my fermenting bucket right now. I bought a home brew kit at a garage sale that come with a fermenting bucket and a bottling bucket. So I have the first batch going in the bucket. I would like to be able to have two batches going at once. I...

What are some home brewing type magazines that are available? What's the "one" to get? Borders/Barnes and Noble Carry any?

I am going to use a can of coopers pre-hopped malt extract to brew my first batch of beer with. Just to keep it as simple as possible for my first try. I am thinking of using the Lager mix. I was wondering if anyone else here has used it? If so, what commercial beer would you compare...

I'm very new to HB. I am still gathering equipment I am hoping to brew my first batch early next week (July 6th or 7th). I plan on staring with canned malt extract brews such as coopers and over a year or so work my way up to all grain. I am from the north west burbs (Carol Stream, near...

What are the alternatives to carbonation in the bottle? My kit right now consists of a Fermentation bucket and bottling bucket.
