Dang! I can't believe I hadn't thought of that. I guess now I just need to find some locally (I have a brew day Saturday). Thanks a bunch for the quick reply.

Hey guys and gals, I built a three tier brew rig and am slowly working the "kinks" out. My biggest problem right now is the dip tubes that go through the false bottoms of the MT and BK (more specifically, the connection of the dip tube to the side of the keggle). I have welded 1/2" MIP...

I have heard Keller fire and safety (or something like that) will fill your bottle instead of exchanging. Better call and check though.

I have read a few horror stories about the 575 getting clogged up and not quite as maintenance free as the 525. You haven't experienced this? How often do you strip your system down for cleaning? Don't want to send it back if it will work as well as the 525, I just read some stuff that had me...

Ok, I already have a 525 SS on my kegerator. For Christmas my wife bought me a 575SS perlick. She was supposed to be getting a 525 but apparently I wasn't clear enough. My question is, what is the difference between the two and should I just keep it or trade it in on a 525? I really don't...

Do they train you with AND without underwear or just without them? LoL - sorry, I just had to say it!

Sorry Yooper! Had a few beers and wasn't paying enough attention. My fault entirely :-)

Just tried it on all three vessels and got down to a pint or so. I love an easy fix! Thanks again fellas.

Thanks for the quick replies! I had a hose on the mash tun but it was pretty short. I'll give the longer hose a shot.

Some friends and I built a three tier brew stand and made three keggles. The MT has a SS false bottom and dip tube. The HLT and BK have a brass a soft copper dip tube. All three keggles seem to stop draining once the liquid level reaches the ball valve. I

I saw that one after making my purchase... That's why you shouldn't do your online shopping after a few home brews. I will probably try to hose trick and the filler mentioned by Zach. Thanks again for all the replies.

Are you just using a 3/8" hose shoved inside the tap? I just got duped on eBay. Purchased a growler filler just to find out that it won't fit a 525 perlick tap...

Thanks for the info guys!

That's the one I was thinking of. I appreciate your help.

Sooooo.... you need the kegerator too? or do you have a fridge that you can convert to a kegerator? Other than that, budget means a lot. You can find used parts and piece together your own system or you can visit sites like northernbrewer.com and buy a kit that includes kegs, hoses, fittings...

I'll keep that in mind. I'm still hoping that with the rain water dilution plus whatever tap water gets mixed in there during hand washing etc, it will be diluted enough to keep the grass going. I guess the worse case scenario would be having to install a rock garden where my run-off will be!

Stirring the wort tends to make a big difference. I run my tap water through a chiller plate inside a jockey box (filled with ice) and then a 25 ft Immersion chiller in the wort. Two weekends ago it was upper 80's in my garage and I cooled the entire batch in exactly ten minutes. It was the...

I remember finding a thread and/or video that showed a SS piece that would fit inside the end of the perlick tap, which allowed a person to fill bottles directly from the existing tap (on the kegerator) and not having to sanitize the "picnic faucet set-up". Can anybody recall who makes that...

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

OK, so I am planning to add a 2-bay laundry sink in the garage. This will simplify my process because I currently have to wash and store my brew supplies on the second story of my house. That is a huge pain because it takes several trips up and down the stairs every brew day. My question...
