    Any Ideas for Copper Screen Uses?

    I just came upon some copper screen and am trying to think of something to make from it that might actually be useful. It's some heavy stuff...a 3'x6' piece weighs about 8 pounds. I'd estimate the grid spacing to be pretty similar to a screen door...not too small, but not massively porous...

    Do NOT Try This At Home!

    So today I decided my keg of stout had sat long enough and it was now time to put it on tap. At the same time I decided I should probably clean out my beer line on the kegerator. Off I go and mix up some beer line cleaner, take the faucet and keg connector off and start pumping cleaner...

    The New Bell's in Chicago

    Has anyone tried the Kalamazoo Amber Ale from Bell's? This is supposed to to be Larry Bell's attempt to give the finger to the distributors and get his beer back to Chicago without having to use the Bell's distributor. As far as i know this is the only offering so far, but barring a huge court...

    Best Source for Bulk Grain?

    Anyone have any thoughts on who is the cheapest source for bulk grain, i.e. 50#-60# bags that ship? I'm looking for the best overall price 2-3 bags at a time. It seems like all the big name players I've seen have a decent selection, but are almost as much if not more than the price of grain...

    Star San Oil Slick

    This is my first time using Star San instead of iodophor so here comes my noob question. I've read all the recent responses that leaving somoe foam or a little of the diluted solution in the primary/secondary/keg is OK. That's good because I had a buttload of foam left in it after shaking the...

    OG Higher Than Expected

    Here's another noob efficiency question, but kind of in reverse. My first AG foray was a pale ale and I nailed all the numbers from Beersmith dead on with respect to mashing, volumes, and gravities. I just made my second AG batch today...a Guinness clone. Here's my grain bill and expected OG...

    Making My Cider Taste More Like Cider

    I have two 3 gallon batches of hard cider that have been aging for about 2 months now. They were made with identical ingredients (including adding some extra sugar for more boozy goodness), but I used two different strains of yeast to try a side-by-side comparison. Both are a little thin...

    Setting up and cleaning MLT

    I was given Cooler Kit Deluxe from Northern Brewer by a friend that had an extra and assembled it into a 5 gallon Rubbermaid round cooler to use as an MLT. Aside from the POS leaking like a sieve when assembled "by the directions" I was able to get it put together without leaks by swapping...

    Sanyo 4912 Kegerator and Dual Regulators?

    Anyone out there have a converted Sanyo 4912 kegerator and use a dual regulator inside? I want to fit 2 cornies, a 5# CO2 tank and a Micromatic 642-Battery regulator inside. I've come across a lot of pictures of people using a signle regulator, but no confirmation of a dual regulator...
