  There are thousands of home brewers using plastic. If there was some sort of inherent problem
  with plastic it would have shown up years ago.

• Posted in thread: 2 of 3 kegs won't pour? on 01-12-2013 at 01:48 PM
  Since you know it's not the gas line or beer line it can only be a recurring beer dip tube clog
  or a gas leak. By any chance is there a dry hop bag down at the bottom of the keg? Any free
  floating lea...

  Frustrating! I am assuming that you are using corny keg and you are certain that the gas is
  getting in the keg. If the gas is getting in then you have to have a leak. One thing to look at
  is the post ...

  What do you mean by thisRemember that you will need a gas fitting for the tire valveWhen you
  use a tire valve for carbonation the only way to get the gas into the bottle is to use the same

  cap on an...

  I'd go with 10' lines then work backwards. Let the beer tell you when it's right. Besides it
  always easier to shorten a line than lengthen it. Cheers

  I went to the Dow Corning site and they list 5 AFE- xxxx products for controlling foam during
  fermentation. But 1410 is not one of them. They list 0010, 0100, 1510, 1520, 1920. Is there any

  Where do you get AFE1410? Price?

• Posted in thread: Low mash temps & low FG on 12-16-2012 at 12:31 AM
  Sometimes I think that we'd be better off not relying so much on the accuracy of our
  instruments but making sure that they are reasonably precise. If I mash at say 154 as shown on
  my thermometer and t...
