I have this faucet that started leaking at the bonnet. I took it apart and lost the gasket down the drain. Seems like most online places that carry this gasket want .30 per gasket and 10 dollars to ship. Anyone know what size this gasket is so I can go to home depot and just pick a box of them...

My wife does not drink beer so I have been trying to make something she can drink. I've been tinkering with different flavored "beers" but I always get the dreaded "this tastes like beer" or the alcohol is too high and I have to drink it. I recently was on a tour of the old latrobe brewery and...

I just made a 10 gallon batch of a Milk Stout and realized all I have is one package of s-04, s-05, and 1 Windsor. I was going to use the S-05, but one package is not enough for 10 gallon. I was wondering which of these is a good yeast to mix and still achieve a decent flavor. The sg was 1.062...

I transferred my last batch into the keg and was going to wash my yeast when the sediment consisted of lumpy looking yeast. I've never run into this before, should I go ahead and wash it or is the yeast bad? The sample had a off flavor I couldn't place. It was also the first time I've used a...

As far as I know there is no brewing club for butler, so I talked to the owner of 3b's tobbacco and he seemed very intrested in starting one up. If anyone is in the area and would be intrested as well, let me know. Or give pat a call at 3b's.

I purchased some carrot blossom honey the other day. I read about a simple recipe of honey, spring water, dap, fermaid k and wyeast 1056, All cold mixed. Has anyone used 1056 for mead before? or would I be better off going for a mead yeast? And what kind of mead will this produce?

I did not have a mesh bag when I dry hopped my brew so I decided to try throwing the pellet hops in. When I siphoned the beer to the keg it brought alot of the hops over and now it's gumming up my picnic tap. Theres only about a gallon of beer left in the keg and it's gotten so bad I cannot even...

Then I received my package from the beverage factory. My wife was awakened by the sound of the fedex man making alot of noise on our front porch. She went outside to see the fedex man getting in his truck and taking off, then seen the package on the porch. She then took it inside and left it...

I'm going to brew my second beer tonight and thought I'd make it a full boil this time. According to the directions it says to use 25% to 50% less bittering hops for the first 30 minuites of the boil. I trust them, but why do I have to do this? And do I subtract 25% or 50% ? How do I know how...

I purchased 2 lbs of corn sugar to make Apfelwein, and my all I got on my order was 1 lb. Is it a problem to mix 1 lb of corn sugar to 1 lb of brown sugar using red star montrachet yeast?

Hi, im new to brewing and am trying to get everything as cheap as possible. At work we have 5 gallon aluminum "bottles" that hold vitamin E oil. Would this be okay to use as a fermenter if I sterilze it? Also, I have also read somewhere about using 1 gallon glass bottles for fermenting, is...
