Has anyone tried this yet ?

Thanks man

Oh you're so funny.

So I think I figured it out and before everyone calls me an idiot ( I guess I am) I realized my mistake. When I first started brewing I bought a used kit online and it came with an auto syphon (see where I'm going here). I've been using this syphon to transfer every batch I've ever made. I'd...

Sounds good. Thanks

There's always one troll tough guy who ruins it for everyone. You probably make great beer but you drink it alone cause you're a ******.

All great advice and yes I do own Palmer 's book. I think I'm aiming for perfection off of the gate. I need to refine my skills.

Agreed.

These extract kits are no boil pre hopped kits kinda like a Coopers kit. I've heard of people dry hopping or even dropping some hops in the primary. I might be buying the wrong kits. Lol http://store.defalcowines.com/Beer-Kits/

@kombat Yeah, extracts all taste the same. Ok. I'll stick to primary and let it sit for 3 weeks before kegging. I think I'm exposing my batch too much. You say Ottawa water is ok? Cool, I'll stick with it then and definitely a "twang" taste In extract. Yes kegs are being purged. I usually do...

As for all grain I usually buy a kit and follow their instructions to a T. I've had better beers with all grain but no significant difference in taste. Might be my water. We have very hard water here In Ottawa Ontario Canada.

So for extract kits my process is fairly easy, clean then sanitize a carboy while my extract can is in hot water, dump the extract can into the carboy, add my fermentable (usually lme or sometimes dextrose ) then my water top up, rehidrate yeast and make sure pitching temp is correct as per...

And BTW if you wanna be rude and tell me to quit and or read more stuff @normonster, just don't reply. I'm asking for help not a wise ass remark. I'm sure you started off with little experience aswell.

I enjoy the process and I have spent a lot of time and money on this hobby but end of the day if I'm not fully satisfied with my end product it's a bit of a waste of time. I've been using my tap water and sometimes campden tablets. I think I'll try bottled water for my next batch to see if that...

I've been brewing for about 1 year now and started off with extract kits and found they had a "funny" taste to them. Brewed about 20 of those before switching to all grains. I found I had better results with all grain but again not quite as good as my local brew pub or a commercial beer...

Put it to 30. Because I'm going camping so I want them to be s bit colder while I travel with them until I can put them on ice.

I'm going camping tomorrow and I dropped my keezer temp to 20 degrees. Is that too cold? Will this damage my kegs?

Genius.

reflectix wrap. :)
