Re: C02 refill update on prices

Just to add to your post. I went to Garland welding supply (1960 Forest Lane, Garland) to get a tank filled and found that the tank was due for inspection so I spent way more than I was expecting. I found myself in the same situation a few months later when a buddy gave me an old tank he had. I deci...

Serving beer outside and how I should get prepared.

I'm hoping one of you might point out a potential issue I might run into with my current pla...

Re: Barrel Aging 101

I was caught completely off guard when someone (Barrett was that you?) asked me how my barrel project was going this weekend at the Labor of Love event. So I thought I would update my thread as it seems people actually read it. :D This is what I did. The beer I choose was an Imperial Stout (Old Rasp...

Re: Barrel Aging 101

Thanks for the response. I wanted to respond to let you know this was helpful. I'm still undecided what to start with but I have a 3 Floyds - Robert the Bruce recipe I’m leaning towards. Did you guys do anything special to prep them for use? I've heard someone mention acid washing but I have no idea...

Barrel Aging 101

Hey folks, I recently picked up some 5 gallon barrels from Balcones Distillery in Waco. They use the barrels 2x then get rid of them. They only put whisky in the ones I have.

I have the 2 burner/cooler (shelf) configuration. http://storminnorman.me/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/my-rig2-250x300.jpg Reason I ask… I got a new keggle for Christmas and was going to build a mash tun out of it. Aside from cleaning for hours, not being able to consistentl...
