So it has been a year. Original thread is here I never saw the ferment happen, the carboy is chipped (fruit fly got in?) and 4 weeks after pitching on a yeast cake a white pellicle formed. It has never dissapeared. So I finally got up the balls to pull a sample and taste it. It is at...

Like the title says, I have a steady drip on one of my new style perlick forward sealing faucets. I took it apart, cleaned it with a brush, cannot see any problems. Still dripped on reassembly. I am going to be searching for a parts list on the perlick site, see if I am missing something...

I am currently brewing my first bavarian weiss of the year. :ban: I was going to rack the 2nd 5 gallons of blonde ale from a batch and clean that fermenter and use it. Racked the 1st 5 gallons Wednesday. I heard the thing bubble in the fermentation chamber. Didnt really think about it...

Collar fell off in my hand after detaching from keg. spring, collar, ball bearings. Is this common? Rare, but not unheard of? Or am I special? :fro:

So I brewed a batch. Pitched it on a cake. I did not really see it ferment, I was busy. all is well.... then, four weeks later: I say to myself, "Self, that ain't right." There was no head on this last week.... What to do? what to do? It smells fine... kind of... So then...

I wanted to hear what people think about the various portable options. I have the choice to buy either an adapter for 20oz CO2 tank (paintball style pin valve type) or do the portable keg charger both of these would be pushing a 5 foot hose and a party tap. Just for me and the wife (at the...

I am laughing at this ad: Is there a growing trend around here? I will start wearing my eyeliner and fire up the Sisters of Mercy album if need be!

I just saw this bit on twitter: That would inspire folks in the workplace I think...

Help me understand what this is telling me: Maybe I am not understanding the whole efficiency deal. I did not adjust anything from the recipe. I just plugged it in (it cited a brewhouse efficiency of 80%) on the recipe. I nailed the amounts on the recipe. I know I am doing fine, but...
