So the other weekend I was having a party which was all fine and dandy but at the end of the night I came to find out that someone had stolen my co2 keg tapper which did not please me in the least. What im thinking now is how do i convert my hand pump tapper to also work with co2. The only...

i find that if i let the bottles warm up to room temp or warmer the labels peel off pretty easy. i just peels a case of amstel light bottles today in less than ten minutes and most of the stick residue came off with the labels. maybe sticking them out in the sun to warm up during the day will...

sorry to hijack a little bit... but does anyone know how long DME is usable for or does it not really go bad?

if you do stay at a state park check and see if you need a permit to drink because you are from out of state. i know its crazy but one of my friends brother was camping in wisconsin and the police gave him some trouble because he didn't buy a $10 or something like that permit to allow him to...

i have learned this from working on gelcoat on boats you should start with the finest grit possible for example 1500 and then move to 2000 or similar because most of the stuff you see on the surface does not neet 220 or 320 to get the marking out just something to clean it up. Granted these...

you might be able to rig up a temp controller with a dial control for AC. I believe they go down to 50 degrees and you could wire that in to the thermostat that is in the freezer. i think this would be pretty easy if the thermostat for the freezer is simple like two wires, i have not done this...

Ive been reading a lot about kolsch beers people are making on the forum and they sound good but I want to try the style before I go and make 5 gallons worth. I live in southern wisconsin and most of the liquor store owners are either ignorant (young like me) or jerks so I was wondering what...

That article makes sense to me. I dont know how the dems will be able to prevent anything since puppies sunshine and rainbows wont stop a terrorist.

yeah im pretty sure it cools by the freezer unit, but i really just want it to cool kegs since i might need to use it for grad school later in the year. either way i think i might try to carefully move the freezer unit this summer. Just thought about this if you can locate the leak you might be...
