    How Many beers do you typically drink before getting wobbly?

    I can drink 4-6 and do OK. However, twice I brewed some Belgian Ales and after 2, they sent me to lala land. I have never experienced anything like that before. Needless to say, I don't brew Belgian Ales anymore.

    Is it worth doing closed pressure transfer

    Hi Mase. So when you add some C02 to the bottom of your keg, at what psi are you using? And do you keep adding that same amount of C02 until your keg is full?

    Thoughts on All-in-one-Brewing systems

    Greetings. Any members out there own, or have used, any brand/model of an all-in-one brewing system? I love making all-grain beer but the idea of stream lining the process would be great. Thanks as always.

    Quick lager question

    Greetings Jeff. When I lager, I ferment my beer per instructions (usually around the 55 degree mark). Once the initial fermentation is done, I transfer batch to 2nd carboy and set in my garage which I can make around 32-36 degrees during the winter (my wife hates it since her car is colder than...

    Long term beers

    Jeff, I make my lagers and pilsners during the winter months so that I can use my garage to do my long-term lagering (I live in Montana). After my initial fermentation, I transfer my batch to another carboy and set it in my garage. I cover my carboy with a blanket and let sit for 6-8 weeks. I...

    Next piece of equipment

    If you go with an immersion chiller (I use a 50 ft unit), be sure to get one that has spacers between the tubing. Spend the few extra bucks! The spacers allow better flow between the tubing to cool your wort and makes it much easier to clean the chiller.

    First brew story....

    Do a 2nd fermentation into another carboy once your initial fermentation tapers off (approx 2 weeks) and that will help a bit to clear up your beer.

    New Castle Clone

    Greetings. Ozark, is this your recipe from Ozarks Mountain Brew? If it is, the brew store I use does not have United Kingdom Maris Otter Pale grain. Will 2-row work instead? Thanks.

    Bottling Conditioning after "lagering"

    Greetings. I brewed 4 lagers this past winter and did not add any yeast at the time of bottling. I did let the brew sit in the carboys for about 5-6 weeks at 35 degrees (I did transfer beer from 1st fermentation carboy to 2nd carboy for 2nd fermentation). I did move the carboy indoors to a...

    Possible infection in secondary, need help!

    Had small fermentation blow out with Belgian Blonde during 1st fermentation. Wasn't worried about infection since so much goo was flowing out of the carboy. Racked batch into 2nd carboy and later put into keg. Batch turned out GREAT!

    Tap cleaning

    When one of my kegs become empty, I clean my keg first. Then I fill the proper amount of line cleaner in my keg and run that through the line and tap. After that, I put some star san in the same keg and run that through the line and tap as well. I use a little brush to clean the tap and that's...
