Greetings, haven't brewed in years and needed to find the link to the epoxy nozzle that you could pull apart and the insert could fit down your dip tube, adding resistance to the line...thus you didn't need long tap lines. I can't find that old thread with the link to the exact part number...

So my last and only dry hop attempt went sour...literally. I got some type of infection, unrelated to the hops, and the beer was too off-tasting to enjoy. I recently brewed a 'leftovers' american pale ale, with little flavor hops and no aroma addition. Its a pretty decent beer, but has no...

Ok gamer geeks and Star Wars nerds...who's going to be playing The Old Republic, and on what server? I'm planning on The Levithan for a server. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, behold...the latest in online gaming 'crack'. Star Wars: The Old Republic

Work has been a little crazy and the department director is really cracking down on surfing even in downtime. Plus I just don't brew in the summer due to temp control and I haven't had to brew for a while. Time to plan the first batch of brewing season though, and play with the stir plate...

So this past winter I ruined 14lb of pork butt because the burner on my brinkman gas smoker when south. specifically it wasn't getting hot enough, tons of yellow flame and soot. I've monkey with it and no amount of regulator or gas/air mixing is helping it, and turning the burner flame...

I have planned a Rapturous Blonde Ale for tomorrow's brew day. Who else plans to be "Left Behind" and is brewing tomorrow, and whatcha makin?

Hi, my name is Malkore, and this is my first SWMBO thread... Gentlemen (and ladies too)...I need to know if I'm being unreasonable, and if so by how much. Here's the story: Sunday night me and the Mrs. had just sat down with dinner, and Family Guy was starting in 10 minutes, which means...

I need to pick some brains... After joining the local brew club, some of the BJCP members as well as a pro brewer are noting cidery flavors in my recent beers. In discussion with them, its all boiling down to yeast health...sub-optimal pitching, old sachets, fermenting temps not...

Guys, I will do some searching but I wanted to get a quick check from people too: I currently have a 7.4cu keezer that will hold 3 kegs plus a 5lb cylinder. no collar. SWMBO is getting me an upgrade for my birthday so I can run all 5 kegs, and both a 5lb and 10lb cylinder (so I can...

I currently have a 'deluxe' 2 gauge CO2 regulator from beverage factory, with two outputs and shutoff valves on both. Something like this: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/distributors/aluminum_three_way_air_distributor.shtml would allow me to run 3 kegs off one of those...

So I have a northern brewer 50' IC that's a bit short for my kettle, and the water in/out connections are just vinyl tubing slipped over the vertical ends, and then screw clamped. This one doesn't have the ends bent to go over the kettle lip like their current IC's do. I have no 'nice'...

I just saw this on northern brewer's site under dry yeast 'hybrid'. It sounds like it could be a dry kolsch strain maybe? anyone tried it and can comment positive or negative on it?

I've been finding myself getting too complicated in my ingredients...4-5 specialty malts, plus base malt, at least 2-3 types of hops and 3 hop intervals. What I want to do is tone it down, almost SMaSH it up. I'm not a huge hop head either (Pale Ale's just pucker my mouth)...yet I'm finding...

So I'm looking at wasting more money...I mean trying a new hobby. RC nitro car/trucks. Not exactly looking to race locally, but the electric vehicles just don't excite me like the gas driven ones. 15 mins per battery pack unless you buy a spendy battery..meh. Plus I'm looking to learn...

No, not the kind you use with SWMBO... I got hit hard by two trojans and a virus on my XP machine today. Came home from work and the ISP (roadrunner) had proxied my internet connection to a page warning me that they'd suspended my activity. I'm no fool, it was legit. I unplugged both...

Well, I have gotten moved into the new house, and I think by this weekend I'll be situated enough to brew my first batch here (AG, batch sparger). My intention is to brew an Oktoberfest now, and drink it come March...the exact opposite of normal :mug: I'll lager it in the basement or...

Ok so I have the KAB5 banjo burner, I think with a 15psi regulator. the issue I have is that my brewpot is almost too narrow. Even if I adjust the air to gas mix and dial back the gas a bunch, I usually have flames licking up the side of my pot, and i'm afraid I'll crack the thermometer...

This is gonna be a little long winded, and I'm a little druck tonite. So I had a full 5 gallon corny, pre-chilled and carbed. Pre-tasted it and it was good beer. Kolsch...pretty ripe for drinking. I had to transport it for 3.5 hours in July, but I had half of it on ice, with a towel...

when your work phone rings at 3:55am with an 'emergency'. which turns out not to really be an 'emergency'.. but the customer won't give up, keeps pushing, wants you to call your boss... And now its 6:15am and I'm at the office, trying to resolve an issue with someone in the UK who's not...

Getting ready to haul a keg outta town and won't have a way to buy more CO2 bulbs when I get there. How many 12 oz beers can I get off 1 bulb, on average? Think I can get 10-12 per bulb? i.e. 5 bulbs to dispense a full corny, that's already pressurized and carb'd up. ???
