Home Brewing Biography: I've been toying with the idea of home brewing for a couple of decades. Then I found out that a friend of mine brewed and sat in on several brew sessions. I was hooked. Then I found that a new in-law also brewed. He was kind enough to donate some equipment, and my wife bought the rest of the gear I needed as a birthday gift. The rest...is history.
Future Brews: Honey Lager, Sticke Alt, Baltic Porter, several IPA's, and probably anything else I try that tastes good!
Primary: Currently vacant. Soon, NB Dead Ringer IPA.
Secondary: Currently vacant.
Bottled: American Cream Ale, Bourbon Barrel Porter - and it is goooooooood! Surly Smoked Pro Series from Northern Brewer.
Kegged: A Sam Adams Octoberfest clone (my attempt); Kaiser Alt (A North German Altbier) Found the recipe on this forum. My 3rd batch of it, and I strengthened it this time to "Sticke Alt" proportions.; Honey Brown Ale (from The Weekend Brewer, Petersburg, VA)

All I'm worried about is long term storage of force-carbonated stuff. I can handle everything

someone who ha...

I've soaked the faucet tops in pbw or oxy and most times it comes off. If not, remove the
stopper part from the top and soaked it in a bleach solution and then clean
again.Cheers,BobThanks for the tip...

Sounds like beer stone. Check out this link for cleaning options beer stone. I've heard of

IDK but for +/- $3 I would just replace it. JMOBullGood point. But, I'm kinda wondering if all
