    Brew Bucket 2.0 or generic?

    I know this isn't answering the actual question, and if you do want to go stainless the ss brewtech is certainly well regarded. But why stainless? If you are starting out, id recommend a 30L plastic fermenter for no more than $40. There are plenty of experienced homebrewers getting...

    Country Brewer Kits

    Generally, the Wals extract and rapid creek series aren't bad for the convenience they offer. I particularly liked the stout extract after about 3 months of conditioning.

    I did the all inn mosaic dry hopped with 20g Amarillo, 20g galaxy and 20g citra instead of the recommended. Turned out much more drinkable imo.

    Kegging Vs Bottling Beer

    What about bottling from kegs? Do you lose much carbonation in the process? I often bottle the last few beers in the keg when changing out with no noticable ill-effect short term. Would they maintain that over months?

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    I have always preferred kL as a supplier, and I think the gear is good quality for the price. But by **** sort your website issues out! This needs to be a priority. Its gets worse every time i log in. Search is terrible, and navi links are not logical.
