I have a #20 tank that is at about 750psi. I am wondering when I should exchange the tank so that I dont run out one night with no access to another. I know a second tank would be ideal I force carb and serve at 12 psi. Have carbed and served 60 gallons with this tank. I have only forced at...

I purchased from them, had a small problem once delivered, and could not make contact with them. Tried several times then gave up.

I am trying to understand yeast starters further and am having a difficult time understanding a few things. I have read "How to Brew" and also mrmalty.com on starters. What I am not understanding is what a one or two or four liter starter really means. I understand that you boil 1/2 cup of...

I have used a "room heater" propane burner for a few years now. It looks similar to what the pictures show. It has the electronic igniter and the nut where the flames come out. It is a monster! Mine started out completely in tact. I cut the heat shield down to just above the inner guard...

How efficient is it to siphon trub from primary fermenter after fermentation to a)salvage yeast to build starter b) get the beer off the cake (which doesnt really lead to off flavors for regular session brew, in my experiences). I ferment is 1/2 bbls doing 10 gallon batches and think that...

Not to stray from the topic, but how does everyone fell about the universal poppits from cornykeg.com? Also, there is no reason you couldnt match the original poppits onto the kegs style dependant, correct?

I am going to keg a birthday beer tomorrow but am unsure of how to prime. I am anticipating 4 gallons siphoned to the keg and want to naturally carbonate. So, question is, how much sugar should I boil and prime with? I plan on purging with co2 and could transfer under co2 pressure with cane...

Quick question before I order from bargain fitting. I am going to install the thermometer sight glass on my brew kettle and dont know if I should install the 2.5 or 4" thermometer. I use an immersion chiller and would rather not have anything to far into the kettle. Really excited for the...

Is it legal to buy and sell medical oxygen tanks privately? I have a couple and would like to get rid of them for other equipment but dont want to have any legal issues. Please let me know. Thanks

Hello, I am leaving for vacation on friday night and have a hotel in Ashville for one night. I plan to arrive around 5 p.m. and after the drive am excited to stop at the local breweries. There is an abundance of them in the town so I cant decide which ones to go to. I would like to go to...

SO I brewed a brown ale and plan on adding oak chips soaked in whiskey but am not sure if the whiskey will affect bottle priming. The OG was 1048 so I dont want to over power the malt or kill the yeast, but want a well balanced whiskey oak backing. My plan is to primary for 5 days and rack to...

Anyone with any input?

OK, so I want to bottle a batch of beer or at least siphon some bottles and cap at just the right time during fermentation to carbonate the brew without priming sugar. How do I measure SG and FG to figure out volumes of co2? The local tap room in town has an engine pull that they serve as...
