I'll be in San Diego for the next week. Any recommendations for blogs or Twitter feeds to key me into anything happening beer related? I was there last year for a week and hit a decent amount of breweries. I am hoping to get a bit deeper into it this year. Sorry if this is the wrong place to...

I'm starting to layout my new French door kegerator build. I plan to only have taps in one door and use the other side for can and bottle storage. I will most likely have to build all new shelves on the storage side, so I am looking for some slick storage solutions. I would really like to find...

I want to lay my 5 lbs CO2 tank on it's side, in my fridge. It would be under a shelf that my kegs would be sitting on. I know you are not supposed to position them on their side without an anti-siphon tube. My plan is to use a 3' braided high pressure hose to relocate my regulator above my...

I'm having trouble diagnosing what is wrong with my hop plant. It's a 2 year old Willamette, and was really taking off this year. But down low the leaves are dieing.

I am looking for some 1" ID food grade, high temp, tubing or hose. This will be coming out of my boil kettle. I found this http://www.mcmaster.com/#5567k26/=zis79x Kind of spendy, but I think it will work since it says food grade and is good to 230 degrees. Am I wrong? Here is the...

I'm looking for a sanitary tri-clamp tee. I want at least two ends to be 1.5" Tri-Clamp, the other could vary, but I would perfer all three ends be 1.5" tri-clamp. The tricky part is that I want it to have 1/2" tube. I could go bigger, but the oulet of the pump is 1/2" and this will be down...

I am looking at upgrading my Keezer with a perlick forward sealing faucet with flow control. My question is, what is the max PSI that it can handle. I normally have one beer on tap and another on deck. I would like to split off my existing regulator and carb my next keg while I serve from the...

I am trying the set it and forget method of carbing for the first time. I can't seem to find if I should hook the gas up to the input or the output? I have always went with output for force carbing, but am not sure for this method.

I am building a 1bbl system and am trying to figure out how to get my 55 gallon SS barrel up to boil. My original plan was to use two SQ-14's, but after looking I could get one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009JXYTG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 the bayou seems to put out just as...

I have a 55 gallon SS barrel that is being converted into a boil kettle. I still need to dig up a lid of some sort. Would it be oaky to use a galvanized trash can lid? I can't really think of anything else at the moment that would work. The opening is just under 22" in diameter.

I am turning a 55 gallon plastic barrel into a mash tun with a full size false bottom. The top of the barrel has two plugs, one big and one little. I'm thinking I can flip the barrel over and use the little plug as the outlet for the mash tun. This hole isn't in the middle, is that going to...

I need a place to bulk age kegs but I don't have room to build a cold room. I also don't have a basement or celler. What if I sunk a couple 50 gal barrels into my yard. How deep would I have to go to keep a constant temp year round? I live in the NW so weather is pretty mild most the year and my...
