B-I-A-B Or just say "brew in a bag".

I have that setup. Just fine, I prefer to start the flow with it opened up, but it doesnt make a huge difference if you start it slow and crank it open after the tap is already open.

"Keg was from my father in law they used to keep stone ruination on tap, but he passed away around 4 years ago, life happened and they still have the empty" Pretty clear that it wasnt decommissioned, if it was being used. I do apologize, I was probably a little harsh with my phrasing. OP...

If the keg was never decommissioned or properly purchased, and you arent returning it, you are stealing it. If the distributor or liquor store wont take it, Kegreturn.com would be a good resource to get it back to the brewery.

Im sure they will if you pay for it. Otherwise, what do they want with a stolen keg?

Send the empty back to the brewery! Email them, they will take it. Dont steal that keg!

To top it off, their patent is shaky at best. It is old, and it isnt a "novel" idea, as it was done in older faucets prior to their existence. We covered all of this 15 pages back or so :) Im all for protecting intellectual property, but you have to play by the rules. If you arent going to...

This looks awesome!

I spend a lot of time in pro-brewer forums and hanging out with brewers. This doesnt surprise me at all. I think there is a big expectation that pro-brewing has its roots in homebrewing, or that pros must have come up organically from their love of beer and the process. In many cases, assistant...

No problem! Ill try to do some videos tonight. I have all FCs, and I have a stout faucet for my coffee, and an IPA on tap too. I have some soda on one, but its not carbonated yet. Still trying to fill up the other five taps :)

I dont have any traditional stout faucets to do the side by side, and I only have coffee on my stout faucet right now (coffee with 100% nitro), so Im not sure how well it looks, but I will see if I can get a good video. For what it is worth, it is pouring fairly well. I could tell there was...

Even if it is infected, it could be infected with something delicious, and you could get a wonderfully weird sour beer that you are completely incapable of reproducing intentionally. RDWHAHB

"Yeast are really the rock stars of beer. You know what their job is? They get to swim around eating sugar all day and reproducing to until their heart's content. "

They are still a pretty good deal, you just cant buy them from any US retailer currently. If you import them, they are still cheaper than the Perlick, and are well worth the hassle.

Im cringing. At what point do you do your tax calculations? If you havent done your tax determination, that is a huge no-no!
