Alvin Holmes didn't go to the University of Alabama, so there's nothing typical about him being a "Rammer Jammer Allerbammer" (or whatever you said). He went to ASU in Montgomery. This is a beer thread; not a Crimson Tide thread. I come here from time to time to see if there are any...

As an A&P with over 17 years wrench turning time, I approve of this thread.

A couple of us here at work are wanting to put an open end and wrench and a box end wrench as tap handles on our shop's kegerator. Anyone ever see this style of handle floating around? I've searched but haven't been able to find any tap handles like this. We might have to just make our own...

Hello there!! Loved your town. I honeymooned both there and in Charleston.

I come here for EVERYTHING. They've never failed to answer a question of mine. Good to see another Alabamian. Prost! :mug:

Greetings. I also live near the 'ham. I too have only been toying with, errrr, "experimental agricultural fermentation procedures" for a few months now, but this site really IS the shiz nit. P.S. Roll Tide

(I think Revvy recently said that 1/4 of his posts are on this very subject.) My hefeweizen has only been racked for about 2.5 weeks. Tonight I go to taste a bottle. At first, I was struck with an odd, sour smell. The taste was kinda flat, kinda watery, and again, kinda soured. The only...

I agree a lot with this post above. Do know that IF you can get something that is commercially sealed, then Customs should let it through without any problems. In MY experience (and someone may have experienced different outcomes), U.S. Customs has always let me through with dried fruit...

From what I've read, if you get too much air in your beer while transferring into your bottling bucket, it could lead to...? Is is oxidation? If so, what are the effects on the batch? If it's just off flavors, how long until you pick up on these flavors? Lastly, is there anything I can do...

Forget it. my wing capper just won't get under the lip on the bottle neck. I can see the differences between the American bottles and the Erdinger. It looks like I need different plates for my capper... or better yet, more regular bottles. Unless someone knows of a way to get this to work...

I tried a test cap on a Erdinger bottle and it just wanted to grip funny. The bottle was cocked a little and everything just required a little more attention than normal to make sure that the cap went on straight. Everything LOOKED normal afterwards. Anyone have any experience with...

I was expecting you to say "I was checking my wort and dropped my light. Ker-plunk!!"

Greetings from Gadsden... but I work in the 'ham. I actually think that you may have answered a couple of my noob questions.

Thanks Chalres. I somehow missed your earlier post ( the one where you explained the same thing). My bad.

Right quick, I see that both of my kegs are the Coca Cola pin-lock and not ball-lock. (One post has 3 tangs and the other has 2 tangs). Will the above mentioned O-rings work for these type of fittings? Dumb question perhaps, but I didn't even know that there COULD be different types until...
