I know this is an old thread, but my problem is I brought a keg to our fantasy football draft, and it was nothing but foam. I left pressure on the keg when driving it over, and tried with pressure(12-14 psi) and turning it down to around 5 psi and purging the keg. Nothing seemed to work. Any...

Doing the finishing touches to my new electric brew rig. This will be my first all grain attempt. Trying to convert my 23 year old son from Bud Light, thinking this will do it. Getting the camlocks from Bobby at brew hardware, then I'll be ready to brew. Any tips to help the day go smooth?

Interested in the two faucets and shanks. How much to ship to 50501?

I am in the middle of an electric build, a lot of thanks to the threads here and the electric brewery. I bought the 50 foot ss tubing and tried to form it for the hearms coil, and now I have 50 foot of scrap tubing. I found a place, Stainless Brewing, that sells preformed hearms coils. My...

Just received the plug. Thanks for quick service

Good to see a fellow Iowan here DKWolf. I'm from Fort Dodge, not too far away, and shop at the Hy-Vee Liquor Store too. Yes, they have a good selection of craft beer, and like I said before, trying a different kind each time. I haven't really looked into trying to deciphering their code, but...

Hi all. Just a quick question. I live in NW Iowa (code for BFE), and have a limited selection of craft beer. I've worked in several different industries and know about date coding. I was wondering if anyone knew how to decipher how old a craft brew was? I've heard about Moose Drool before and...

Well, Just ordered the Jaybird false bottom with handle and hinge. Didn't know if I should have gotten a stand or not. If I need one, I can always make one at work. I'm needing to hurry and get this built, pipeline is empty. Picked up a few six packs of Moose Drool to tide me for the next week...

I've been leaning towards the Jaybird, just wanting some input which everyone here prefers. I'm going to pull the trigger in the morning when I get off work.

I'm just starting an e-build, and have been ordering parts. I need a false bottom and can't decide between the Jaybird or the pico style slotted. I like both, only concern is the dead space under the pico. I've read most of the threads on here, and if you had a choice, which would you buy?

Wow, thanks for the info wncbrewer. Stouts and Porters are my favorite styles, so a ten gallon would almost restrict me to 5 gallon batches. Just looking to move to all grain and getting so antsy, but I don't want to settle. Anteater looks to be a lot closer to you anyways, so its fine with me...

Yes, it is. My wife is in her last year of an electrical engineering degree and needed a project. So I jumped at the chance to have her build me an all electric, automated brew rig. (I know, I'm a lucky guy). Anyways, I have two keggles right now and was needing a third for the mash tun. With...

Would be interested in both. Been saving for a 20 gallon, but that would work.

I might be interested if op doesn't want it. I live in NW Iowa.

I was wondering the same thing. Had a peach wheat beer at the local brewpub and thought of trying to clone it. Sorry about hijacking your thread, but it's a great question.

Thanks for all the info. I'm in no hurry to brew, I have three cases plus a keg in the fridge. That and the swmbo keeps a tight reign on my drinking. I just want to do it right and have it turn out better than my last attempt.

Just got back from LHBS and bought stuff to make starters, 1000 ml flask and some light DME. I have a Munich Helles kit from Brewers Best, wanted to try a starter, as my last Helles didn't turn out so good. One question, does the starter have to be kept at 50° also or just room temp? And should...

I would have to agree with theaug, I don't care for Guinness either. I have a Russian Imperial Stout that I brewed and like it, but it is a little bland. It has good flavor, just everything is blended that nothing stands out. Also have to agree about small craft brewers. We have a brew pub close...

OG is still the same, 1.051, it's a Brewers Best Munich Helles kit. I was just going to follow the directions, it said to ferment at 53-59 F, then lager at 35-42. Just wasn't planning for the drop in temp.

Hi all, Think I may have a batch to dump. I tried to brew my first lager. Had a fermenting bucket in a fridge in the garage for a week and was able to maintain 52 degrees. Thought I was good to go. Brewed 2 days ago, pitched at 60 degrees, put it in the fridge and woke up the next day with a...
