Fyi,nothing I found at Lowe's worked. So I called perlick and they are sending me free rebuild kits for all 4 of my faucets. Awesome!

Good plan! Just had my second gasket give out tonight.

It's the lower gasket I'm looking for.

It's the gasket labeled as number 2 on the diagrams. I'll give the mentioned gasket a shot. Thanks!

I have this faucet that started leaking at the bonnet. I took it apart and lost the gasket down the drain. Seems like most online places that carry this gasket want .30 per gasket and 10 dollars to ship. Anyone know what size this gasket is so I can go to home depot and just pick a box of them...

My wife does not drink beer so I have been trying to make something she can drink. I've been tinkering with different flavored "beers" but I always get the dreaded "this tastes like beer" or the alcohol is too high and I have to drink it. I recently was on a tour of the old latrobe brewery and...

Thanks, o4 and windsor it is!

I just made a 10 gallon batch of a Milk Stout and realized all I have is one package of s-04, s-05, and 1 Windsor. I was going to use the S-05, but one package is not enough for 10 gallon. I was wondering which of these is a good yeast to mix and still achieve a decent flavor. The sg was 1.062...

I'm reviving a pretty old thread, but we finally started up a club in butler pa. We are on our third meeting tomorrow night 4/12/11, at the days inn at 700 pm. just ask at the front desk what room we are in if anyone is interested. If you want you can bring some homebrew with you.

I realize this thread is a few years old, but I want to build something like this, and I was wondering what you did for the door to the unit. I can't really tell from the pics, is it just a sheet of insulation that you move? thanks

Made it today, I added 1 pound maple syrup at flameout, and plan on adding about another pound or so when I rack it. Best smelling beer I ever made!

I'm planning on making this tommorrow. At what point did you put in the maple syrup? Maybe if it is added at the end of the boil the flavor will come through more? But then will 2.5 lbs be too much?

Just an update, the wife didn't like either batch I made with the beer yeast, she said they tasted too much like beer. I thought they tasted just fine! So I made a batch using welch's berry splash,and the same exact method as the origional hard cranberry lamonade,and she said the same thing...

Any word on this?

Here is a heatstick I built. The other one has a elbow for less water.
