Here's my question...For the price of the Igloo 10g cooler ($70) vs. the Rubbermaid cooler for about $40...which one do you think is better at holding temps ? I have a 5gal Igloo that does not budge on temp for 60mins. I love it but wanting more space for bigger beers now. These are the round...

I hope all goes well for ya. Stay positive!!! I'll say a prayer too... Cheers, Koogz

I am getting ready to rack to the keg, and since i am going to let it still condition for a few more weeks...instead of carbing with Co2 this time i was thinking of just putting the sugar in the keg and let it carb while it's conditioning. Or should I let it condition w/o the sugar... I've...

Just out of curiosity... How many of you shake your fermenter during fermentation? I know I shake my starters, why not the batch? If you do, do you notice any diff. in attenuation? Can it make that more of a difference? Can you harm the yeast...I wouldn't think so but may be wrong...

That's right....my buddy runs a farm (he's an agricultural specalist) and we are growin our own barley and wheat plus we have enough green house room for about 20 - 30 hops plants!!! :ban: We are using about 1/8 acre and we don't have to do anything...he has people that take care of it...

How many pounds of grain have you been able to fit into your 5gal round igloo cooler...doing a batch sparge, and got a good efficiency?? I am using a 3/4" SS braid by the way... A friend of mine & his wife want me to brew them a IIPA and I'm just wondering how big I can make it? Kug...

Ok, I did a dry(wet) run on my AG equipment yesterday to see how well everything worked and have a few questions bouncing around in the hollowed halls of my mind...here's what I did and what I've got: 10g round Igloo MLT w/Braid & a 5g round Igloo HLT By the way I did not have any grain...

Ok, so here is the recipe for the Duvel Clone. It is in a PM but I have also converted it into an AG recipe too. If you really can't do a PM you could steep these grains in 150*f water for 30mins. PM Version: Duval Clone Belgian Golden Strong Ale Type: Partial Mash Date...

That's right, we're back for another beer from my 365 beers desk calendar. :tank: Today we have a beautiful golden Belgin Ale...Duvel. Nice sweet, fruity flavor that's complemanted with a very nice hop butique (Boo - Kay). This all contributes to an incredibale head with exquisite lacing...

I just had a Saison Dupont lst night for the first time and having a Hennepin today. These are Belgium Farmhouse ales. This is some good stuff! Nice golden color with a nice fruity/spicey flavor...even bottle conditioned! So I think I am going to save the yeast and try to make something...

Happy New Year Everybody!!!!!:tank: Everyone be safe and have a blast!!!:mug: Who's got the brew on for the first of the year??

Hey all... Getting ready to attempt my 1st partial mash this weekend and had a question about the water I am planning on using. I always use spring water from the store for my extract batches and was wondering if there is anything I should know about the chemicals (or lack of) in store...

The better half of me tells me to bottle the stout for conditioning but part of me wants to put this on tap (after it has conditioned in a keg)??? And, if I do put it on tap, do I need a stout tap or would a regular tap be fine? Kug

I have read a few threads and they have mentioned a nutrients issue...not sure if that is the case here. Could this be from over watering? Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful...tanks! Oh yeah...some of the leaves at the bottom look a little rough (old?)..forgot to get...

SWEET!!! My HBT sticker just got here today!:rockin: Tis on the Kegerator now!

Is there a difference in my co2 tank being fill with gas opposed to being filled with liquid co2? And does one last longer then the other? I have a 15# tank and my gauge reads less than 1000psi. I would think that it would be around 2000psi but again this is my 1st time...and it seems to be...

Starting to get my kegging system together and been getting pieces here and there...well, last night stoped over my buddies house and he gave...yes gave me this... For Free...20# tank with reg (crappy) and solinoid (that I don't need)...AND it will only cost me $25 to fill. (I work for a...

Well, I placed my original order with DIY "Order Number: 101 Date Ordered: Tuesday 18 March, 2008 " and I understand that they are not shipping til early April (which is right next door) so I must wait. Being in the AZ climate and probably the right time to get these in the ground, I am...
