    Is My Regulator Busted?

    I've been trying to get my dual regulator dialed in. The one on the left works great, I can set it to where I want easily with no problems. The one on the right is giving me all sorts of problems. I turn off the gas, use the valve to release the gas in the gauge. I have the screw completely...

    23 Year old CO2 Cylinder

    So someone posted a what looks to be a 10 or 20 lb CO2 cylinder on craigslist. It hasn't been tested since '86. About how long do CO2 cylinders last? It's going for 30 bucks, don't know if it's worth the risk. It looks like it's in good condition, though. Worth it? Would you take a shot?

    "Heavy" Beers, drinkability, etc.

    Well we all know that bigger beers means a high gravity. But when a lot of people refer to "heavy" beers, what they mean is that they could only drink two or three. Most regular people will say they like Guiness, but it's like drinking a meal, and they could at most drink a couple. When we...

    Cleaning plastic carboys?

    I'm sure this is asked often, I used the search and couldn't find anything conclusive myself. I know not to use anything abrasive as a scratch can = an infection. I've got a ring of gunk in one of my BB's that didn't get taken care of when I cleaned it out after racking. Any ideas? I'm...

    Fumaric Acid

    So I've made a few batches of Apfelwein and decided to try a different juice, Cran-Apple juice. It has Ascorbic Acid (which is okay) but it also has Fumaric Acid. Will Fumaric Acid hamper fermentation or anything else in this batch?

    3quart Plastic Bottles

    Brewed up a batch of Apfelwein the other day. I'm probably not gonna have regular beer bottles to bottle with in a month or two (my bottles are going to other batches, trying to drink as much commercial brew as I can, hard to keep up :drunk:). Wondering if it's a good idea to carbonate with...

    Few Noob Bottling Questions

    I know that twist off caps are bad, because they're prone to leaking. My father is a BMC enthusiast, most are twist bottles, I was wondering if it's possible to use the regular caps with the twist off bottles? I'm assuming you can't, but figured I'd ask. Also, if it's not possible, what are...

    Why hello there!

    Hello from Springfield, MO here. My father gave me his old Home Brew kit for Christmas. I've been interested in home brewing for a while but never got around to actually doing it. Went up to my local home brewing store and bought an American-style Lager kit. It's now fermenting in the...
