I've got 6 commercial kegs sitting in my shed taking up space and I'm looking for any ideas of what to do with them otherwise they're going to the tip. I've already got a 3V keggle system so I don't need to convert any that way and I've heard the amount of work to turn them into a smoker isn't...

HI All, I had planned on brewing this weekend but due to some other things I couldn't get time to do it. As I don't have a mill at home I buy my grains already crushed from the LHBS. Due to some travel plans I won't be able to brew and then complete a full ferment in the next few weeks so I'm...

Made a extract brew following a recipe and kit from AHB. It's a red ale so something a little different to what I've brewed previously. It's been bottle conditioning for about 3 weeks now and I've started having a few (I know they would probably benefit from longer conditioning). The...
