I purchased a CM Becker in line flow control unit so I would not need 500 feet (or so) of line on my 30 psi soda keg. It can be a real pain trying to manage all that hose inside my small 7 cu. ft keezer. When I got it, I stuck it in the middle of a 4 foot line and fiddled with the adjustment...

Short of liposuction, where can I buy pork fat back? I have asked every grocery store and butcher shop i know of around Houston if they have fat back. Their answers range from a sideways confused look to "We have quarter pound blocks of salt pork. You could buy 8 of those..." Half the time I...

Ok so I'm a big Alton Brown fan and therefore put more weight in weight over volume of ingredients. This also helps with planning since most products have weight labels on them. Long story short, if I buy a 16 oz bag of sarsparilla root from somewhere and a recipe calls for 1 cup of the stuff...

So this may seem like a pretty stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway... I am looking at getting one of those carbonator caps that fit on standard 2 liter and similar plastic bottles. As a cheaper way of starting to force carbonate. However I would like to bottle in glass bottles since...

In all my searching, I have yet to find a good answer to this one (maybe there isn't one). Most of the time these questions just digress into the carcinogenic (or perceived lack thereof) effects of safrole. I am not going to go into my reasoning. Let's just say, for the sake of this thread, that...

So if you couldn't tell already, I am brand new to this and in need of some guidance. I have been reading up on making root beer and carbonating it using yeast (From what I have read the startup cost of force carbonation is way too restrictive to justify the large cash outlay before I determine...
