my tank is reading is 750 at room temp and now its right on the line between red and white which is 400 at 40 degrees F on my regulator. Its a 5lb tank. Should I be looking for leaks or just keep an eye on it? BTW, this is my first kegged batch thanks for any help and thank you HBT.

Hi I just kegged for the first time. My tank just capoots(it was used so I'm not sure how much there was to begin with). Is the a safety issue for me, my kids, or my cat if there is a leak and a lot had gotten out? Also, what about the beer. Is it going to be OK if it (worse case senario)...

It would have been nice to see Leno do the honorable thing. He's had five years to figure out what to do. Conan is the man for the job. I was hoping that this was some sort of NBC sick jock to get some spotlight on their shows, but now I see they are real idiots. When you've got a bunch of...

Hey all I'm taking the plunge into No Chill. I just upgraded my 5 gallon kettle w/ a ball valve and a bazooka screen and I got the high temp. tubing (up to 275*). I also got two 2.5 gallon cubes from US plastics as mentioned by the OP. I will be doing partial boils and won't up the volume to...

You're probably right. I'd also feel like my wife made my decision for me. Doing it myself was the best way cause now I've got some cool new bits and a file I didn't use. ;)

The word punch freaked me a bit ;), so I stayed away from it this time. When the next opportunity to use a nail punch comes by I'll check them out.

:ban: :ban: :ban: Here is the wrap-up... It is done. I went to my local Lowe's and got a Unibit and a titanium pilot bit. I ended up putting my knee inside the kettle and knelt on the kettle which was on the deck (not the best brace, but it worked). The hardest part was getting the...

The stuff came in today. I got to get over to the hardware store and pick up the parts. Hoping I can bust out the drill tomorrow or Monday. Will post results. Thanks for all the advise.

Oh... c'mon I just need my hole drilled. Nothing dirty about that. ;)

Yeah, finding a local mail order place is the best thing to do. I only use Northern Brewer when I have to. I use beer-wine.com whenever I can, it takes one day to get to me and their prices aren't that bad either.

Its a economy SS pot.

Thanks for the replies. Its very tempting to go ahead and get the bits myself. I'm not the best DIY handyman type. I'm terribly accident prone and get stressed out easily if something goes wrong. I've got mixed feelings still. Swmbo convinced me to hire out yesterday, but maybe I'll freakin...

Relax UPS will get it there today. They probably had a priority delivery.

I'm a UPS man. There might not be a trailer that goes between the building that it arrived at and your UPS building even in the same city. There are probably two or more in Columbus OH. I know that if I order something from the town over or up, the package has to travel 45 mins north, then 20...

I don't want to do this myself cause I don't have any of the bits, safety glasses, cutting oil, file, and I don't have anything to brace the kettle w/. So I want to hire someone but I'm concerned about going to wrong person for the job and getting screwed. I do know a homebrewer mechanic...

Hi I'm also possibly in the market for a kettle, but don't want to kill the bank. If I did I'd get a 10 gal Blichmann. I'm looking either at the Brewers edge from williams mentioned above and the 9 gal one at NB also mentioned above. It seems like neither one tells you what the bottom is...

Is this thing a suitable no chill cube? http://cgi.ebay.com/5-GALLON-20-LITER-HDPE-CARBOY_W0QQitemZ290298605156QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4397252e64&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 I've got to find a way to shorten my brew day or I'll hardly ever brew again. :(

Wow, that is a superb wine cellar.

Nice looking wine cellar. Its always nice to see lots of goodies. Watcha got in bottles?

I know its a crime to try re-bottling but my dilemma is that the 1 gallon size is too large for me to drink in short amount of time. Am I wrong? Can I open the gallon jug and expect it to be good for at least a month of me drinking? I may consider getting a small tank of gas to purge the...
