I did all grain brewing in 5 and 10 gallon batches until about 6 or 7 years ago. I then stopped brewing for various reasons. But mainly because of time, and because I have become more a cider and win drinker and since I shifted to other hobbies such as cycling. I know these are just excuses...

This is a question to the tall folks: Is there a website where one can buy homebrew themed shirts for tall people? 2XL don't cut it for me. I need the extra length on a 2XT but I cannot find them anywhere. Any hints are appreciated.

I bought 4 x 525SS earlier this year. And now one started leaking. I called Perlick and the guy at Perlick told me that they would replace all 4 taps. Since they were still under warranty they sent me 4 x 630SS. All I had to do was send him my order confirmation. Unfortunately I cannot keep...

You could use gutter guards for these like this guy: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/another-drip-tray-build-446610/ Since I have been using lots of left over corrugated panels on my keezer build I was looking to may be using galvanized half round gutters. But I could not find any cheap...

Thanks. I fell for the same. Sorry but these instructions leave lot to be desired. But now it is working.

I could not find a thread around drip trays except the kegerator build thread which has become so large meanwhile that it is had to scan through it. I am in the process to finalize my keezer built and I am looking for ideas on drip trays. My taps are at the front inside the collar. Not on top...

Thanks for pointing that out. Now I seem to understand. Looks like that I cannot use the shut off valves to regulate the CO2 individually. I assume I would need secondary regulators. In this case I just use the manifold as is.

I had a faulty ball lock stem valve recently. Pulled off the party line from one of my cider kegs and did not check until over a week later. By then the Keg was empty and keezer had 2.5 gallons of cider inside. It looks like the outlet ball lock stem did not close properly when I pulled of the...

Correction: My 2 x 5 gal one handle kegs are actually Spartan kegs. Not AEB. Paid $25 for the pair about 2 years ago.... ;-)

I am planning 3 for different styles of beer, 2 for different styles of Cider and one for sparkling water.

I have 3 Pepsi style kegs with the rubber top and 4 of the single handle kegs. 2 x 5 gal and 2 x 3.5 gal. All 4 from AEB and made in Italy. Their quality is really good and I never had any problems with them. However there now seem to be a lot cheap single handle Asian kegs out there which are...

I am looking for a 25" long drip tray and I found these at a place who sells coffee equipment. They have a 24" and a 28" version. The 24" seems to be 4" wide and the 28" seems to be 5" wide. 24" version: http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/curtis/dt-24/p1456539.aspx 28" version...

I got me a 6-way manifold for my new kegerator I am just building to individually regulate the pressure per keg. I like to have a CO2 gauge on each outlet to monitor the CO2 level for each keg. The cheapest one I found is this one...

I am just building another keezer and am looking for another temp controller. I have been using the analog Johnson ones on my previous builds. They work great but both have copper sensors which really look ugly after some time in the moisture. They are coated with that greenish texture of...

I had luck with Craigslist and yard sales. Got two medical ball lock kegs for a total of $25 including a tap and a drip tray about 2 years ago on a yard sale. Plus a got a 3.5 gallon keg for $70 not too long ago on Craigslist. Basically in new condition. But they are getting harder to find and...
