    What can I brew for kids?

    I found that poppet valve springs make good auto return springs. They are a must, in my opinion.

    What can I brew for kids?

    that would be alright, but i was hoping to use the brewery to make something. I do have spare kegs and open taps on my keezer, though. I tried that last time I brewed. The middle kid wouldnt try it, and the youngest barely touched it with his tongue. He said he loked it, but wouldn't do anymore...

    What can I brew for kids?

    My kids want to help me with just about everything. They are age 9-4. What can I make with my brewery that they can help with, and later drink? I've thought about tea, but that seems too simple, but maybe simmple is best for their ages?

    Where to buy push connects, besides Morebeer?

    I'll see if that works. If not, I'll move the tank outside the keezer and move the filter in its spot. Shouldn't ba a problem after that.

    Where to buy push connects, besides Morebeer?

    thanks everyone, I'll check out each of those links to see if I can find what I want. I was in the garage last night looking and thought I'd take a pic of what I have. Everything fits, but the issue is getting an empty keg out without removing another keg. Maybe I can swap my 5 gallon water...

    Where to buy push connects, besides Morebeer?

    This is kinda specialized, I have a four tap keezer with one tap dedicated to water. My water always tastes bad, so i am putting in a water filter and am looking for a push connect that is 1/4 NPT to 1/4 hose (EVA barrier) and is 90*. Also, a 90* that would screw on my beer shank and be 1/4" hose.

    water softener vs water filter vs ???

    I figured it would probably be cheaper and easier to just buy a new system if I'm going to replace everything but the tank That would be surprising. I'm not scared of a little plumbing, though.

    water softener vs water filter vs ???

    Would it be possible (and budget friendly) to retrofit a new valve and replace the media, or would I be better off just buying a new system? I know, I need to have my water tested first, but generally, which would be better?

    water softener vs water filter vs ???

    Thats interesting, when is it not suitable? Im in the wishful thinking phase right now. Ive got other things that need my money first. Here's some pictures, front side top and back, plus one of the space its in.

    water softener vs water filter vs ???

    I've seen people add a second membrane, using it to filter the waste from the other membrane, and increasing output while decreasing waste. There's no filter, just the softener. I have a carbon filter at the kitchen sink and another in the garage where I brew. Yes, all the water that comes in...

    water softener vs water filter vs ???

    The water softener in my house is old as dirt. It an old one that operates on a timer, and occasionally leaks. I'm thinking its time for a replacement, but as I don't like running out of salt I'm wondering if I should consider a whole house filter instead, or something else. I live in the...

    How long can i leave it in the fermenter?

    I went to another place, it was $35 for the test, and got on the maintenance program which is $12.50 per tank per year, and I just swapped for a full tank. They keep track of serial numbers in case the tank gets stolen.
