New to kegging.....Looking at buying this kegerator off Craigslist... (on a side note, is this a decent deal?) http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/for/3806634825.html my question is what all parts/accessories do I need? Let me also say what I want to do: I want a dual tap set up, one to...

Shouldnt that all have settled out by now? Its been in secondary for 2 weeks now and hasnt changed at all in the last week and a half, and it sat in primary for 2 weeks before that. Having never attempted cold crashing, Im just not sure I wanna go through the hassle/expense of doing all that...

By the way, Im not necessarily worried about it, just curious.

There are little gray particles floating in the beer that you can see in the first pic. The second pic you can see where what looks like a lot of those same particles have settled out on the bottom. The ones floating however, have just been sitting there for over a week and are not settling or...

on a side note: what do you use to measure oz by weight? just a generic food scale?? Thanks

Is it a good idea to change out the sanitizer water in the bucket once or twice during fermentation regardless of if something goes wrong?

It wasnt too long after Id stuck it in the ice bath, so Im sure the temp was still pretty high.

Ok so this has happened to me about 3 times now, but as usual I drank too much during the brewing process and forgot to throw my whirfloc in at 15mins left in the boil as its one of those unimportant ingredients that you dont think about. So while it was in the cooling stage I decided to throw...

Err here is the link to the Sam Adams profile... better late than never I suppose. http://www.samueladams.com/enjoy-our-beer/beer-detail.aspx?id=fa331e9c-604f-4ccd-9a29-4dd64c9a993c

Anybody have a good clone recipe for this?? Tried it the other day and loved it, and Im usually not one for anything pumpkin. Thought it would be fun to brew though and it is getting to be that time of year. I found one attempt in these forums, but it didnt seem it was close to the Sam Adams...

I made a Magic Hat #9 clone and when I did it, I let it sit in primary for a week, then put the apricot puree in my secondary fermenter (glass carboy) and just racked the beer on top of it. I let it sit in secondary for roughly 10 days or so (more because I just didnt have time to do anything...

When dry hopping if I use 1oz pellets vs 1 oz whole hops, is it the same? Or are pellets more concentrated and therefore you would need more than 1oz of whole hops to equal 1ox of hop pellets? And I read that putting a marble or something similar in the hop bag to keep it weighed down and make...

Ok, a couple of you mentioned having to do a mash with the 2 row -having just very basic knowledge of what doing a mash entails as Ive never actually done it before, whats the difference between mashing and just steeping the grains? Obviously steeping youre not doing for nearly as long (30 mins...

OK well i posted the wrong recipe, but it should now be correct in the orignal post with more details about the extracts. If i used like 0.25 lbs of the carapils malt, how much of the malt extract should i take out? roughly the same? thanks.

Plan on making my 3rd attempt at brewing this week (first 2 turned out pretty well) and have decided make an IPA, kind of using Stone Ruination IPA as my base recipe. I'm looking to make a really full bodied IPA though...any ideas on changes to make/additions to make the ruination ipa have more...

I also love this beer!Would definitely like to try my hand at brewing this sometime, especially with the hot TX summer coming quick =/

Just what I was looking for! I came on here looking for ideas for IPA recipes, this will be my 3rd brew and Ive used clones for my first 2, but wanted to switch it up a little bit this time. Disclaimer though: I dont have full boil capability, so you can answer or not, but I'd appreciate any...

Awesome - thanks guys for the quick responses.:tank:

Ok ive got my beer primary fermenting in a closet, the only problem its the same closet as all my clothes, and about 3 different times this week ive been in a hurry in the morning and left my closet doors open, exposing it to westward facing sun during the day. Ive relaxed and had my home brew...

kind of similar: i forgot to add my whirfloc until about 2-3 mins left in the boil instead of 15... will this harm anything? or just not have the same clarifying effect? Im pretty sure 2-3 mins in boiling water is more than time for it to dissolve completely.
