I'm having a consistent issue with a specific off flavor. I think its green apple/cider. It happens with pretty much every light/pale beer I make. I've let beers go longer and shorter. I've kept them bottled and condition for longer and shorter. All grain and extract. Seems that I end up with...

Are there any cool beer related wallpapers? I thought a live wallpaper of an airlock would be cool but I haven't found anything like that. Right now I just have a beer pouring, which is ok. Anything that you folks have come across? Thx

I just kegged a batch that had a cider/green apple smell when transferring to the keg. It was in the primary for 3 weeks. Keg has been in the fridge for about 12 hours, should I pull it out and leave at room temp for a couple weeks or just leave in the fridge? OG 1.049 finished at 1.012. Thanks...

Does anybody have experience with Krome couplers for commercial kegs? I am looking at a Micro Matic coupler and I came across Krome. I read somewhere that Krome manufacturers Micro Matic but I wasn't sure if that is true. Assuming that is the case, I figure Krome should be a quality product. Thanks.

I got what I feel was a pretty good deal on some equipment and I wanted to share. Bayou Kettles on sale at Overstock. They have a few configurations and sizes. After 10% off coupon code, I got an 8 gallon Stainless kettle with valve, thermometer and heat shield for $135...

Are there any places in NoVa that carry those 5 liter kegs (not heine/Newcastle)? Generally, they seem to be German beers from what I've seen; I just haven't found any stores that carry them locally. TIA

How is ABV calculated when backsweetening? I assume that sweetening at bottling will lower the ABV. When would you take a hydrometer reading? Let's say for example that OG was 1.060 and brought to 1.000, then sweetened. Thanks for the info.

I have 3 brand new in box (never used) chrome faucets. I was overly optimistic and wanted to make a portable cooler kegerator. I have since decided to pursue other projects and am selling these. They are the same as listed below. If you really want pictures, I can provide some but they are new...

I need new poppets, Can someone help me ID my keg so I know what type to get please. TIA

Quick question.. I fermented a porter for 3 weeks, then I transferred to a keg and moved to 35degrees to carb at 11psi (for the past week or so). Now I'm wondering, should I take it out/off the gas and condition closer to 65degrees for a little? Or should I just leave it at 35 and continue to...

So I'd like to try a lager kit from Northern Brewer and have some questions. It says to use a yeast starter, but the default yeast is Dry (at least I think it is) and I thought starters were done with liquid yeast? Any insight or tips would be most appreciated. Thanks...

I know there are tons of people showing off their Keezer projects; so after a lot of hard work, I wanted to share mine. Its painted entirely in chalkboard paint and is a little different from what I've seen, so here you go........ :mug:

Was thinking of making a fermentation chiller that would basically be connected to a keezer. I'm looking to have it hold a single bucket/carboy. Which got me wondering if a big cooler (around 120quart) would provide better insulation then the 2in pink insulation sheets? Any ideas if a cooler...

Have a quick question.... I was thinking of adding a pump to an immersion chiller. The idea being that you can have a submersible pump in ice water to get colder water to run through the immersion chiller (I'm sure its been done). My question is how powerful of a pump is required? Something like...
