I'm the best man in a bachelor part coming up in a couple weekends. We're traveling about 600 miles away in a fully packed vehicle. My question is, I have a kegerator at home, and would like to put together a traveling kegerator. Basically, would like to keep the keg pressurized, likely just...

I'm gettin new hoses for my kegerator. It's a 4.3 cuft fridge. I plan on running the gas line out to a tank hanging on the side of the fridge, but the beer line will stay inside. What size and lengths are suggested for beer and gas line for my application?

I’ve acquired a 20 pound steel CO2 tank from my brother. The tank is a bit large for my application and I’d like to have smaller tanks, with some backups. The tank is about half full. The handle is also broken, but is still operable. I’m looking to get $100 for this tank or a...

I currently have an old computer fan on the bottom ledge of my kegerator helping with air circulation inside. I would like to purchase another fan, build a tower cooler from a hobby box, tie the 2 fans together with 1 plug, and call it a day. I've attached a pic of what I'd like to do. I want to...

My groomsman all bought me a Frosty Keg Kegerator from Great Northern Popcorn Company a year ago. After only 9 months, the seals went bad on the included CO2 tank and I didn’t know what to do. My brother who’s going to be graduating from college offered me his 20 lb tank and I had to...

I have a 5lb co2 bottle and I'm plan On hooking up a 1/2 barrel tonight. When I open the valve, I read 20 lbs on my regulator. Should I go with that or get it refilled just in case.

I built a cooler a but ago and built my own MLT as pictured below. I water seal tested it and it came out fine. Just the other day I was moving things around and I noticed rust in the cooler. Everything I used was stainless. Should I just replaced the rusted parts?

Today I'm shooting to make a cider and my recipe calls for torrified wheat. 4 of the 4 Hbs around me don't have anything in stock. I found a link on how to torrify it with a popcorn maker, but I don't have one. I'm only supposed to use an ounce of torrified wheat. Does anyone know how I can make...

I'm about to buy a 9 gallon boil pot and go all grain. I purchased a cheap propane burner and wok a couple years ago but don't have the information on it anymore. It has a 10 psi regulator on it and I'd like to know if there's a way to test it's ability to boil my wort before I plunge into it...

I just bottled a honey bourbon stout yesterday and have a series if readings. Wondering if there's a way to calculate the alcohol percentage. Here are the readings I took throughout my brewing process. Original gravity: 1.044 Transfer to secondary added honey(SG: 1.425). Gravity before...

Tonight I found a killer deal on the basic coleman 48 qt cooler at meijers. Everywhere I look people are using the coleman extremes. Any downside to using this basic one before I rip the spigot out? Anyone had bad failure or good success with it?

I've brewed about 6 beers now and I'm on another now, but just had a thought. I have a pot capable of a 3 gallon boil. I'm using 5 gallon kits. After I've boiled my 3 gallons, how much water do I add to the primary? Do I just add enough water to the 5 gallon line or do I compensate for boil off...

Wasn't sure exactly where to post this so I thought I'd give the science division a try. So it’s almost time to brew my stout and I’m getting mixed feelings on when to add the honey to my brew. My goal is to end up with a Honey Bourbon Stout. I’ve acquired a bourbon barrel...

I’ve been brewing for a few years now and I have the opportunity to get a 5 gallon bourbon barrel from my local distillery. I’ve perfected a stout that I’ve made a few times and I’d like to age it in the bourbon barrel I’ll be getting. My issue is that I’ve...

Anyone familiar with cleaning beer lines without buying the fancy pump bottles? I was looking at some cleaning kits for my kegerators beer line and thought that maybe it would be easier to run some starsan or other detergent through the lines manually and get the same effect? Anyone have a way...
