    how to auto-siphon

    I have some new tubing that is supposed to be exactly the same as the older stuff I had been using with my autosiphon, but I can't get it to seal right. I even used screw on hose clamps and it still has enough air leak in to kill the siphon.

    Flying Fish and Philadellphia Brewing Company yeasts free at my LHBS

    No idea if this is the right forum... For our Big Brew/Homebrew Day (~280 Gallons this year) we had yeast from Philadelphia Brewing Company and Flying Fish donated for our use. Beercrafters still has a lot of Flying Fish left along with some PBC as well. I believe the PBC was an American Ale...

    kegged wine - what PSI should I set it for to replicate a sparkling wine?

    I kegged my Winexpert Exotic Fruits White Zin on Monday and set the regulator to 6PSI. I prefer the method of setting to roughly serving pressure and let it sit a few days instead of forcing in 30+ PSI and then backing off. The wine pushes out nice today, but is still flat. Should I kick it up...

    Where do you get your kegs?

    My LHBS - Beercrafters. about $35-37 each and they are fully cleaned and rebuilt. All I need to do the first time is throw some sanitizer in there. :) Reminds me, I need to get a couple more next payday. I also got beer and gas lines as well as the shanks from them. I got the tank and...

    Going to Philadelphia - advice on these bars/brewpubs?

    They recently tore down their bar for renovations. I think they was mentioned in an issue or two ago of the Mid-Atlanttic Brewing News. The Drafting room is near there, but both are a bit far from Philly without a car.

    Going to Philadelphia - advice on these bars/brewpubs?

    Pretty much everything has been mentioned. But if you want to venture outside of the norm try Druid's Keep. Not much for food, but a pretty good beer selection. I've played darts tehre a few times. http://www.phillytown.com/druidskeep.htm The link is lame, but I supplied it for the addess...

    At what point is a recipe your own

    Shrug. The closest thing I ever did to making my own recipe is changing an all chinook IPA to an all Simcoe because that's all I had enough of on hand. I'm pretty content just following recipes for the foreseeable future.

    Portable draft device

    I'd be all over that if 3 gallon Cornies didn't suck the life out of the wallet. :(

    1.5 L Grolsch Swing-Top

    I have one. I tend to use it as a growler most of the time now that I keg instead of bottle.

    WORST Non-homebrew you've had!

    New Dock Street or old Dock Street? I think the new place doesn't distribute yet.

    Yeah, mine is the Lowes version of the Rubbermaind. Wally World usually has it cheaper if you don't mind shopping there.

    Only 4 gallons made...

    Eh. I wouldn't worry about it. Most of my runs come up about a half gallon short after all of the boiling and transferring. That is even with starting at about 6.5 gallons for the boil. If you a really worried about it and your kettle can handle it add another half gallon of strike water. I...

    Thinking of trying a sparkling wine - not Apfelwein

    Darn. I was hoping someone replied. :( I have a winexpert Island Mist kit I want to make and keg it as a sparkler.

    Twin handle vs bench capper

    I have an OLD bench capper that apparently my great? grandfather used to use for bottling root beer (or hooch!). I have yet to use it because it's rather clunky compared the the wing style IMHO. Maybe I'll get some caps and a few empty bottles and try it out. The big catch is I have no place...

    Good Thermometers!

    Can anyone recommend a decent dial probe thermometer with a stem about 12" or so long? The few I have found are fairly pricey... I have a rubbermaid cooler I use for mashing, and I'd like to put a small hole through the top for a thermometer so I don't have to keep opening the thing to verify...
