    This is my first time using my new keggle and I noticed the bottom of it getting red hot when I was trying to bring it to a boil. I turned the burner down but its still red. Is this normal?

    paintball tank. ??

    I am going to set up a cooler so I can take a keg with me up north but I have one question about using a paintball tank to serve. Should the tank be horizontal or vertical? I don't want to damage the regulator. It will be a little while before I build it but this has been bugging me.

    4 days dry hopping

    I've got a brew that has been only been dry hopping for 4 days and I really want to get this in a keg to carbonate. Do you guys think it will still have the hop flavor I'm shooting for?

    replacing spigot on kettle

    I have 2 turkey fryer kettles I use that have spigots on them and I was thinking that a ball valve would really be useful. Has anyone switched these out successfully? It doesnt look threaded on and I don't want to ruin them.

    dry hopping question

    I haven't been using a secondary and really like the results should I just add the hops after a week to the primary or do I need to rack to a secondary.

    first all grain batch

    I'm trying my first all grain batch ( 2 hearted clone ) in a few days. I plan on putting all of my grains in a bag in one of my kettles that has a spigot and sparging that way. Once x-mas is over I'm gonna make a cooler style mash tun. Any advise on this first all grain batch?

    yeast not dropping 3 weeks

    I did an AHS blue moon clone 3 weeks ago and I figured it would be good to keg but when I opened the bucket there was still a bunch of yeast on the top like you would see in the first week. The temp has been around 65 +/- 3'. The gravity is 1.020 still so I'm going to let it go but it suprised...

    sankey coupler leak

    I have a leak on my sankey coupler. It was fine until I went to change out my 5' beer line to a 10' line. It is leaking below the beer nut on the out line. Any idea what I did? I think when I tightened the nut I twisted the coupler. I took the line off and made sure it is on right.
