    Stupid Miller Kegs!

    Greetings! So SWMBO got me a few kegs from her work (I know, she's awesome) but they are those silly Miller style kegs. I have seen tons of how to's on getting the dip tube out only my problem is that I can't even get the threads started. The kegs have been in storage since 1997 so I fear...

    Guess who is finally kegging?!

    If you guessed me you are correct! I have been brewing for about a year or so but this is my first adventure into kegging. Here is my goal...I eventually want to run two 5lb corny kegs in a converted mini fridge kegerator. After doing countless hours of research I feel that I have gone...

    Mase's First Brew Day Check-list

    So I bought a turkey fryer...

    I was at Wally Worl last night scoping out some 4 gal kettles for stove top partial batches when I stumbled across a turkey fryer 735 gallon set up for $20 more. :ban: Full boils here I come. My question is, I know I have to oxidize it by boiling water in it for 30 mins, but does it matter...
