I used it. Never thought twice about it, either. Today was about my 25th or 30th batch with this chiller setup. As usual, I dropped the chiller into the wort 5 minutes before the boil was over and at flameout I turned on the water. I was standing right where the hose connections in the picture...

Just got invited to a party on Memorial Day. Need to brew some beer for the party in a hurry. Beers that are crowd pleasers... when the crowd is BMC drinkers. Initial recon seems that most like the pseudo-BMC as well (faux-craft, if you prefer). Shock Top varietals, Blue Moon varietals, etc...

Planning out a project that requires me to join 3/4" or 1" stainless tubing at 90 degree angles. I'm trying to avoid welding if at all possible. Has anybody used something like these, maybe in inch-sizes and metal? http://www.themetalstore.co.uk/products/tube-connectors-square Are there...

We're happy to announce the impending release of RaspberryPints, a free digital taplist solution. After posting a feeler thread, I found myself amidst a 500 post thread juggernaut. Luckily, it also resulted in the accidental recruitment of a tight group of 8-10 volunteers, who will help see this...

A cursory Google search of the site didn't turn up many threads relating to digital tap lists. In fact, only one thread I can find. I'm currently finishing up a digital taplist. Let's cut to the chase, mmkay. I received the code on which I based my version via a GNU Share-a-Like license. I'm...

AG brewer here, probably close to 50 batches under my belt now. The beer almost always comes out great, carbs up nicely, and goes down smooth. With one exception: a Fat Tire clone about 12 months ago that tasted medicinal. I chalked it up to not liking Belgian funk and moved on. This batch...

Started brewing 18 months ago. From that first (disgusting) batch til now, my skills have grown. As they have, I've picked up a larger appreciation for good beer. And now that I can make it, I've found I want a large variety on-hand. Around my 6 month mark, I built a 7 cu ft freezer that held...

Since I started homebrewing, I've always put my money where my mouth is when it comes to my kegging equipment. After all, this is where my beer will spend the majority of its life, where it will age and mature, where it will be served from, and the hardware it will pass through just before it...

Was looking to pick up six 525SS faucets in January before they start falling out of stock for the new 600-series replacements (I want to match my existing 525SSes). However, Cyber Monday might make me jump a little quicker for them. I do not need the beer nut nor tailpiece (John Guest...

I have an 80# Vittles Vault on the way for use as a 13-gallon fermenter. Moving up from brew buckets has presented me with new challenges, so upgrades are in order. I'm pretty impressed by this guy's pimping of a Vittles Vault and would like to do something similar (though mine is substantially...

I do 10-11 gallon batches. Right now, batches are split into two 6.5 gallon fermenters and placed in the bottom of my fermentation chamber. If I do a second batch, I just stack a second row of buckets on top to fit a total of ~20 gallons. It's a precarious situation, and kind of a pain to be...

I did the same stupid thing probably everyone else here has done at least once. Pulled the collar on my ball lock QD the wrong direction. The spring and ball bearings went flying. Where can I buy replacements ball bearings? The QD is otherwise fine, and I've done this several times, so I'd...

Yeah, you read that right. Sold some things on eBay and have a bit of PayPal money to burn. Have a 10-keg keezer, but right now with only 4 taps, 5 gas lines, and 2 pressures. More gas lines is the first step towards going 10-tap. I want to serve a myriad of beverages. Between low, med, and...

BLUF: Trying to connect multiple secondary regulators in-line. How? Looking to upgrade the CO2 system in my keezer. Currently have a dual primary, with one of them feeding a manifold with check valves. Everything is 1/4" MFL, not barbs. Would like replace the manifold with a bank of...

Been off the forum for a while during a busy spring. Getting back brewing since the pipeline ran almost dry. But need help sourcing some keg parts. Specifically looking for universal poppets. Have over two dozen kegs now and keeping all the different poppet types straight is a real pain. Want...

Looking for ball lock kegs again. Wasted $60 in gas and 6 hours on CraigsList looking at kegs that either didn't hold pressure, weren't actually ball lock kegs, or sold when I got 3 blocks away after driving 45 minutes into town. Prefer to deal locally. My faith in humanity isn't high enough...

I read a few threads about starters in Erlenmeyer flasks that indicate you shouldn't try to make a starter the size of the rated volume (top graduation) of the your flask... lest you want to be mopping krausen off your stir plate and table. Several threads take this a bit farther, recommending...

I have a thread where I do nothing buy measure up, determine configurations for, and make 3D drawings of chest freezers. I do this so you don't have to haul kegs down to Home Depot or while checking out a CraigsList find. Also, because chest freezers are becoming increasingly a special order...

Moving up to a bigger keezer (10-tapper, here I come!) and have decided that I don't want to wrestle with getting barbs on Bev-Seal Ultra again. I'm running the 3/16" version, which I'll order more of, and have found that I need to buy these fittings: 5/16 x 5/8 BSPP (PI451015FS) for shank side...
