I have a 5# CO2 tank I currently use for 2 kegs in a fridge. I will be building a keezer very soon. At the moment I am thinking of 4-5 kegs on tap with the potential of 1-2 (right now my plans are for a 6-keg keezer) carbing. I will keep the tank outside the keezer. What size tank is...

My cousin is management-level sales with Coca Cola. He brought me (6) pin lock kegs at a fantastic price...free! All are clean inside with just a few stickers on the outside and all hold pressure. I have always bottled, but am ready to keg and have all the lines, fittings, tank and regulator...

I've had a Midwest Bourbon Barrel Old Ale on oak cubes and 16+ Oz. of Makers Mark in the secondary since Jan 1. The temp is 58-58* (kept in garage). Any suggestions on how long to keep in secondary before bottling? I figure it'll be late April to early May before ambient temp will be much...

An old friend gave me some additional brewing eqipment he hasn't used in several years. This included a 10 gal. PolarWare brew kettle with stainless ball valve. There is another threaded 'neck' above the ball valve for a thermometer. It's plugged now, but where might I find a threaded...

I am planning to brew a high gravity (1.100 O/G) Belgian Specialty Ale and ran the recipe through the Tasty Brew calculator. I was thinking that with that high gravity I needed an IBU around 60-70 to keep the beer from being sweet. All of my calculations are within the parameters of the style...

Santa was very good to me...I received (2) Midwest Bourbon Barrel Old Ale kits, both with milled grain! Since I don't want to make a 10 gal. batch, I am going to double up on the oak cubes for the one I'll brew Jan 1. That leaves me with the following: Extract 6# Amber Malt LME 3.3#Gold LME...
