    Anyone ever have a tap start pouring beer while closed?

    Yeah just the standard taps, thanks for the info. I really don't like that this happened and am going to upgrade to the Perlick 650 or maybe even the 690 if I can find a decent price. They should fit on the standard shaft no problem?

    Anyone ever have a tap start pouring beer while closed?

    have had these taps for a while and never had a problem. I went to have a beer and the tap was stuck because I hadn't had a beer in a week or so. I sprayed a little starsan on it and let it soak for a minute or so and then tried to open the tap and it didn't budge but beer started pouring out...

    DIY mash tun question/help

    I bought this setup and it held temps great but as I moved it after emptying I noticed there was the tiniest of leaks with maybe 4 drops on the table. I thought the two rubber gaskets would have worked but maybe I have to use silicon in there.

    Cooper beer enhancer

    ya I have a stick on thermometer on my bucket and carboys. They showed 24 degrees C at first but after the fermentation slowed they went down to 22. I thought that was in the right range. I dont know how I am going to get it any cooler, that is in the coolest part of my house.

    Hopping Pre Hopped Extract?

    like unionrdr said, its pre-hopped. Boiling or even heating that up a lot will just remove any hop flavor. You just want to warm that up a little so it's easy to pour into the water. Those Coopers cans are basically just a concentrated beer, add water to them, aerate, add yeast and let ferment

    Cooper beer enhancer

    I never used any table sugar, just added the enhancer 2. So the temps got too high during fermentation then? thanks for the response!

    getting started

    carboys are one of the cheapest things to buy, I would just go get a new 5 or 6 gallon one. You would know it wasnt scratched and didnt have any weird stuff in it at some point.

    Cooper beer enhancer

    Hi guys, I have made the Draught and the Canadian Blonde so far, with each one I used the enhancer 2. I let each of them ferment for about 4 weeks and then kegged them. Both had a green apple taste and I really didn't like them at all. I just got the IPA and picked up another enhancer 2...
