    Log keg dispensing problem

    My DIY keezer is working great for all of my soda kegs... But when I bought a keg of one of my favorite winter seasonal brews and hooked it up (1/6 barrel log keg) ... It is foaming like crazy. I get 50/50 foam/beer in each pour. Do I need to change settings in dispensing pressure or...

    Counterflow wort chiller DIY bust!

    I recently talked a friend into helping me build a CounterFlowWortChiller. It has a 1/2od inner copper tube and a larger outer copper tube for coolant water flow. I guess we just made the whole thing too short, (15ish ft) because it does not cool wort effectively at all. We have to slow flow...

    Slow Continuous Sparge

    I have been brewing for about a year now, the last few months of which have been All Grain. I have always come here for answers (as well as general entertainment) but this is my first time posting. I had a buddy of mine help me build a real nice gravity fed rotating sparge arm. It works like a...
