I bought a pony keg of Miller Lite (I know I know...I just didn't want to waste good homebrew on my friends that just wanted to get wasted) Super Bowl weekend, which was February 5th. First off, I'm aware that this could be getting an off taste now because I've had it for 3 months. However, I...

I never thought about using Oxyclean. It seems like a lot of people use Oxyclean for a lot of the basic cleaning of their brewing equipment, right?

I came across this thread because my Co2 tank is empty and I couldn't find anybody that would flat-out fill my tank and let me keep it so I wouldn't have to get rid of my new tank. Anyways, the last guy posted that Koorsen Fire and Security fills tanks. Indeed they do, as I'm getting ready to...

Well, after brewing four different times (3 beer, 1 cider), my fermenting bucket still smells like some of my brews, even after heavy cleaning (hot water, StarSan, etc. My buckets are getting what are I hope are not permanent stains. My question: is there a good way for me to get the smells...

Well...I downloaded Paint.net and didn't have much luck in figuring it out. So, I then downloaded GIMP, and had a little more success, but whenever I add text, I have no clue how to change the font style, so it's driving me crazy. I'm about to give up and just go out and buy chalkboard paint :/...

To my knowledge, I don't have the ability to do any lagering because I do not have the ability to ferment at lager temperatures. What are my options if I'm wanting to do a lager, if I have any options at all? I only have the ability to ferment at ale temps currently.

When you apply the co2 to carbonate, do you then chill it, or just let it sit at room temp???

So do you rack over from your primary to the corny, and then once it is conditioned and carbonated enough, you dispense straight from there? I always feel like there's still quite a bit of trudge in the bottom of my secondary.

I've heard of people using corny kegs as a secondary fermenter... I'm curious, what are the advantages and disadvantages to this???

I think I've got a solution though... Our county offers a refrigerator recycling program where they come pick the unit up for free and give the recycler $35 if there's still money left in the program. I emailed them because their instructions specifically state that the unit has to be...

I don't know enough about refrigerators to answer that question either :(

This is a top freezer...and as far as the type of defrost, I don't know anything about that so I can't answer that question.

What I should've said is that I've already replaced one part, which I THINK was the temperature controller, but it could've been something else. It's been a while since I've messed with it or even looked at it, so I'm not 100% sure what part it was.

I'm looking for 12oz bottles near Indianapolis, IN...help a brewer out!! :) Send me a PM if anybody close has some they're wanting to part ways with.
