Since I have started kegging my homebrew I have had nothing but problems. This time I went downstairs to check the temp in the fridge and I see my co2 gauge is on zero. It's empty! How? This is my first beer in the keg and its been in for about a month or so. How long does a normal tank last...

I heard that some guys use there herms coil as there wort chiller. Does anyone have pictures, sketchup, or explaination of how to do this? Thanks

Boy I can't wait to hear the responses to this question :ban: but I couldn't think of another way to title it. This is my first beer in a keg and I have had all kinds of trouble with different matters. Now my problem is I'm getting about 3/4 glass full of foam and 1/4 beer. What can I do to get...

Hey Guys- So I have my beer in my fermenter and it keeps blowing off my airlock. What can I do. I took the lid off but it just blew the little plastic cup out. What can I do to keep it on?

Hey Guys- I'm kind of new to brewing and I've seen a few guys set up with a laptop to show there temperatures. I see they have there probe in the kettles. What do I need to do to get that? Is it a program? Thanks

Hey guys! I am in the planning stages of my brewstand... very early stages. Here is what I think I want, two tier herms so I can use just 1 pump (for now). I am newly married and bought a new house so cash is tight. I will most likely build a stand from wood and convert 3 used kegs for my...

I finished my kegerator and was waiting for my beer to finish fermenting. I put the beer in the keg and then turned the fridge on with the beer in it. I went down yesterday and tried to get some beer out the tap and nothing happened. I thought well maybe the fridge is to cold and it froze in the...

So I was given a gas regulator from a family friend. I got my tank filled tonight and went to hook it up. I turned gas on and gas sprayed out by the nut connection (right where the regulator and tank hook up). What am I doing wrong or do I have to buy a new regulator?

Bass pro is having a sale and there fish fryer is only $29. It is a propane burner that pumps out 58,000 btu. Is that enough for a 5 gallon all grain setup? How about a 10-15 gallon batch...

I am very new to all grain brewing but very interested in making the switch from extract. I am slowly putting together my parts to build my stand. I was in a tool store the other day and I saw these water pumps. Is this something I could use or do I have to go with the specific pumps that are at...

I'm looking to make the switch to AG and would like to purchase 2 or 3 full sized kegs. If you know of where I can find used kegs please let me know. THANK YOU!

This is my first shot at building my own bar. I've been looking at all the other builds on here for ideas and designed mine around my basement set up. Just building the skeleton first, but still don't know what I want to use to finish it. I worked until I ran out of wood tonight. More to come...

I'm just curious if anyone on here started out home brewing then moved on to open there own brewery? If so, could you elaborate on your story. I would be very interested to see how you started and steps along the way to get to that level. Equipment upgrades and lessons you've learned. Thanks.

Quick question... Can I just dump my beer from my primary to my secondary or do I have to syphon? If I use a filter and try not to dump my cake from the primary into the secondary will it be ok?

I have run into a little snag on my mini fridge conversion project. I cannot drill a hole big enough to fit the faucet shank through the door. Is there a special bit I should purchase or what did you guys use to get through? Thanks

Hey Guys- Im making the switch to kegging and the last thing I need is a co2 tank. Where do you guys suggest to get one? Can I get one from a local welding store? What size? I've heard people say something about 10 lb are about the same price as 5 lb?Any insight is appreciated! Thanks...

Found this guy on craigslist for $50. Forgot to take a before picture but here is where we're at right now. Took off the inner door shelving and freezer rack. Then bent down the freezer unit... carefully. I starting going to quickly and stopped right before I kinked the line. Yikes! The kegs fit...

After your done with your mashing, is there anything to you can do with the grain or are they just spent? They smell sooo good I wish I could make something out of them.

So I'm in the process of my first partial mash right now actually. The first issue I ran into was when I was steeping my grains. So I have a 5 gallon brew kettle that I have the 152 degree water in then I add the grain bag. The pot is so wide that the water (because they only called for 1 1/2...
