Instructions say to remove the PET cap and insert gas tube through. That's fine, but a large hole is left through which cold air can escape. What have you used to insulate the hole?

My keezer is a Frigidaire 8.8 cu. ft. (can't find the exact model number; brand new 2 years ago) . I can't find any info on line that tells me where the cooling lines are located. Up til now I've had my 5 lb. CO2 tank inside on the compressor shelf, but now I want to mount it outside and run the...

Brew day started out peacefully. An ESB kit put together by Brew Bros in Portland - specialty grains, LME, freeze-dried Goldings, and S-04. Brought down to Costa Rica several months ago, and I procrastinated brewing. I decided to add the LME at flame out rather than at the beginning of the...

I live in Costa Rica, where there is only one HBS - I omitted the "L" because it's an hour away - and the kit selection is small and uninteresting. I'm not quite ready for all grain. I'm ordering a kegging system from Northern Brewer, and thought I'd order a couple of extract kits (specifying...

The plastic fermenter with the NB Pline clonein the guest shower and the temp on the fermenter was 70F. As I walked into the shower, the airlock went "bloop;" there appear to be about 3 bubbles in the airlock. At 35 days, I thought I was going to cold crash today (Sunday) and bottle Tuesday or...
