I’m getting interested in kegging. I’ve been brewing and bottling my own for about 6 years now but the bottling is really a hassle.

If anybody has any advice or tips on this I would sure be appreciative.

Brew On!

Conditioning an Octoberfest brew ready late August. Currently enjoying a great IPA, a fine copper ale, and a Dynamic Pilsner!

I have not brewed seriously for a bit-moving from a house to an apt kinda cramps things

I still do small batches of hard cider to use in cooking (Beef Rib Marinade)

I always favored making stouts, Scotch ales and Bocks. And Hefe Weizen-the flavors really come out in home brew

I have a bohemian-style lager in a secondary right now and am thinking about the next batch in a couple of weeks. Any suggestions? I’d like it to be a nice summer beer - crisp and refreshing, fairly low alcohol (around 4 - 4.5%) and not too bitter, but I like a hoppy taste. I did a pretty successful Witbier a few months ago, with orange and coriander flavoring. Post your recipes, if you have ‘em.

They don't have biere d'alsace Fischer listed. Great 'beer', great old-fashioned stopper bottles. I still have a bunch of the bottles that I use.

I've been told by a distributor that I can't get it in the States, anymore.

We’ve done wine from kits and last month did our first beer kit. It was ready to bottle about three weeks ago, and things kept happening that prevented bottling. Is it too late? Is it still good? Thanks!

Please add me to the ping list. My sweetie & I make fruit wines. We’ve even won some ribbons in amateur competitions, until Oregon realized they’d written some really archaic rules into the constitution & banned us from state & county fairs.

Our specialty is blackberry, & we’ve done some unusual wines, like banana. We also made a port once that came out wonderfully. Wish I’d made a bigger batch!

Thanks!

Multitasking. Watching UFC Live on on FX, on my 3rd 14% or better IPA, making tacos for 125 people for kids open house tomorrow, monitoring this thread.

Life is good.

This weekend I'm working on an oatmeal stout, a partial-mash brew with 5 pounds of Maris Otter malt, a pound of roasted barley, a pound of British chocolate, carapils (for head retention), a pound of Quaker oats, and the balance of the malt done up with six pounds of liquid malt extract. Fuggles hops all around. I've done this one all-grain, but I've found that using the partial-mash technique I can confine the entire thing indoors, using my electric stovetop for the boil. I've got a nice 40-quart stainless kettle that will bring five or six gallons to a boil in just about 25 minutes. My mash tun is a 10-gallon Rubbermaid cooler with a stainless-steel toilet supply line, which is ideal for the home brewer who wants to brew fantastic beer easily without turning his house into a commercial brewery!
