Good Afternoon All, I recently relocated to Anchorage. I am wondering if the Anchorage Members of HBT could advise me on where they have found decommissioned full size commercial kegs for conversion. As before I would like to acquire legally. Thanks in advance, Scott

+1 on the silicone. We use it to secure down solid surface (eg corian, swanstone etc) It will do the job as well as the liq nails. It will remain flexible but still cure solid enough to "glue" the collar to the base. I happened to have extra tubes of the white 100% silicone so that is...

yeah great! drinking arm was uninjured. i have only 2 kegs left of "product" one carboy needs racking. and that is it. my relatives visited recently so i sent them home with bottles of the shelf samples. just havent had the time to brew. I should explain. My lady's 'tude stems from...

Well right now i think im lucky. i was told that of all bones to break, the patella is a good one. I guess this was a good thing. Apparently i tore the retinaculum as i subluxed while still in the air. the muscles compensated and the patella sheared into pieces. i thought i fractured from...

see right! i asked that. i would do all the math and do all the grist measurments. but i would need her to do the lifting of the grains and the water to the brew pots. i just requested she would wear stockings and heels to help me heal.

so i fell at work. knee blown out. im home and i need to brew. i have crutches and i need my girl to help me out lifting etc. what are some ideas for broke knee ale?

yeah i bought the 7lb hopper and the base. I am a finish carpenter by trade. I could have and would have enjoyed making the hopper myself. For the price, i couldnt pass up the convienience. I wanted to assemble it and start a grain bill and get brewing. I have a bunch of solid surface drops...

Good Morning. I recieved my monster mill 2.0 a couple of days ago. I have it put together and i bought feeler gauges last night. I ran a cup full of barley through the thing to help knock off the metal shavings etc. nice crush! i am impressed. I have been reading various posts and i plan...

So i have read about the secondaries and how folks like to step down. I keep soda water on tap, i want force carb capability, and of course serving pressure. My question is: has anyone used compressor type regulators for the secondary? I know typical air regs for compressors are high...

crazybrew has a video. Its pretty simple and straight forward. I found it in the search. beer filtration system.

Good Afternoon All, i had been doing some reading on the filtering of homebrew. I did a raspberry ale and had it in the secondary for 2 weeks. Good smells, good taste while flat. I wasnt clearing the raspberry leavins at 2 weeks as fast as i would like. I know that if i had waited longer...

no issues so far with bumping around. when i used the cutter to make the sections i did not clean them up other than obvious debris. ( i didnt use extra tools like i was sweating for a plumbing connection ) There must be enough roughness to still keep enough friction to hold all those pieces...

No i just dry fit mine together. I have the square cooler. So i first decided to just do the square set up and a "t" linked to the ball valve. Not being satisfied i only did one all grain and then got more "t"s and sections so i have 3 longer runs, 2 med runs, 6 short runs, 5 "t"s and 4...

well whatever gentlemen... we got it all working. simple controls. this thing came set up for cooling and i just wanted someones perspective on a sucessful set up.. i am enjoying my evening by myself...and that is ok. thank you all for your input. my wife is working a 48 and i had time to...

Hello all, so i am wired up with the new johnson A419abc-1. I read and read last night on the set up of paramters from this site. lots of information and opinions. I just want a working keezer with cold beer. I assume i want a set point of about 38-40 degrees. i want a differential of...
