Still haven't moved to kegging. With just me and my wife, can't really justify it based on consumption. I'd waste beer cleaning taps and lines... Maybe when we retire in 2021 I'll make that move. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Just bottled my last batch with these caps. I have 2 left. I've bought a bunch from my LHBS, Adventures in Homebrewing , when they put them on sale. Currently, you can get 144 for $1.79. Agner & Wolf . Old Nation for $1.99 . And some others. The Ebay ones were $29.95 for 2,000 or 1.5 cents each....

The TSA has no power to stop you from transporting hops. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all The TSA employees are not law enforcement professionals. They cannot arrest you. They can summon an air marshal or a policeman, but that official cannot arrest you for transportin...

Have you sat down and run numbers - diameter of lines, length of lines, temp of beer, carbonation chart? Ideally, you want to be serving at 38 degrees. Foaming is caused by two things - too much pressure, or too warm temperatures, or both. You need to be at equilibrium. https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaw...

Welcome to our happy place. Just to make what others have said clear though, you can make any kind of beer in your brew demon fermenter. You just have to scale the recipe down to 2.5 gallons and have whatever other equipment is needed for that kind of beer. For all grain you need a bigger pot then ...

You were moved there in 2015.

Those that chose to expand via distribution are having problems. Those that remain a brewpub, with only self-distribution locally, are not. In your area? No, in general. I know of two that lost huge dollars until they stopped distributing, except self-distribution. Margins are awful and they end up...

I had to ask about it just to let them know and was told: "This item is not currently available and while under construction on the site, will be listed at a high cost to deter items being added to orders while the webteam works on the update we dont currently have an ETA for when they will be...

ZX Ventures (AB InBev) has sold Northern Brewer / Midwest. https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/affiliate-of-blackstreet-capital-holdings-llc-acquires-northern-brewer-llc-2019-07-11 The acquirer, Blackstreet Capital Holdings, specializes in acquiring "distressed businesses". Read into...

The beer is going to slosh around. I would not ferment under those conditions as you suggest you would not either. As far as transporting, keep in mind that anything tapped is open. It is illegal to drive with open containers of beer in most states. If you were pulled over, and they searched the veh...

Price is the same at multiple sites, but the sack of grain is unique to Northern, owned by AB-InBev. Interesting economics, because the Grainfather is drop shipped from the manufacturer, but the bag of grain would be shipped by Northern, or drop shipped by someone else. Adventures in Homebrewing doe...

Thanks for the reviews. Without consulting my notes, I recall preferring BrewDemon to MrBeer. Unless something changed, BrewDemon is using the old Mr. Beer HME supplier (I don't keep up with BrewDemon). Mr. Beer is now using new owner Cooper's HMEs. They are far superior to the old Mr. Beer / curre...

Sometimes the BOGO sales are due to stock having a "Best Buy Date" that is expiring / has expired. Make sure you read the offer carefully.

Cans of HME can be used about 2 years after the date, but the brew will be darker, and may be a bit sweeter.
