    2.5 or 3 gal ball lock kegs

    Anyone have any they wish to part with? Prefer 3 but 2.5 works also. Thought I'd ask here before buying new for 100s of $.

    stock black plastic tap handle(s)

    I, for the love... cannot find the little shorty black tap handles that came with my perlick faucets. I built a jockey box and currently am using a yeast tube as the handle. Does anyone have any shorties sitting around? I can PP the shipping if it won't fit in a standard envelope!! :mug:

    Ever 'forget' what you have brewing or on tap?

    Thought this was funny... well, at least my friends did when they asked what beer I had going now. I know, I know... there's chalk boards or note pads one could use to jot down the flavors as you go. But see, I brew 1 or 2 a month as needed... I have 3 beers on tap & try to keep 1 fermenting...

    Outdoor Keezer vs freezing temps outside

    Hey guys, just as the title says, I have my freezer outside due to SWMBO not wanting it in the house... it has a Johnson digital temp controller on it set at 38, kicks off at 34. Actually, she said I could put it in the basement but it is too big to take down & back up after winter. So it...
