I'm late to the game here but I just found out Bet Mar in Columbia is permanently closed as of early March. Anyone have any information on it? I've been going there since I started brewing, sad to see it go.

Y'know the weird thing was I couldn't hear anything until I spritzed it with soapy water. If anything else had been running at the time (hot water heater, freezer, car going by the house etc) I'm not sure I would have picked up on it. The soapy water dunk was overkill. My thought was if it was...

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. Thankfully I worked from home yesterday so I was able to turn off all of the lines but one, pressurize it to about 50 psi, turn the gas off, walk away and check on it about a half hour later. If that held, on to the next. By process of elimination...

I'm thinking that's going to be the ticket. Thanks! I don't think the regulator is the issue since I smelled/burned the inside of my nose from the inside of the kegerator and I keep my tank on the outside. Still worth a look though, and I will need to replace that washer soon.

Well it could be because I don't know that I've ever looked at my tank washer haha. Are you talking about the washer in the regulator or have I been neglecting my tank some other way? Also if you don't mind me asking how do you find a leak if you don't rely on the bubble method? Thanks for...

Most of them do, there may be a few that don't. What gets me is there were no bubbles to be seen when I dunked it all in a bucket of soapy water. I may try to up the PSI this evening and see if that makes anything more obvious...

Dang my first mistake was putting it in print haha I'm pretty sure it isn't the regulator but I'll check again. I keep the tank outside of the kegerator so if it was leaking the gas wouldn't be detected the kegerator. Knowing my luck I could have two leaks though:rolleyes:

I'm at my wits end here. I've got a co2 leak...somewhere. No idea where it is though. I knew I had a problem so last weekend I took out all my kegs and replaced a few bad poppets and all of the o-rings, lubed up for good measure. Pressure tested them all with the starsan water test and...

Getting caught up on a few HBT worthy meals from the last few months. Homemade Pastrami that I turned into Reubens: Breakfast for dinner on the griddle (Bacon, homefries, sausage, pancakes, eggs): Nachos:

That thing is tremendous! Didn't even know putting a belt on a piece of plywood was possible

Thanks! Some of the support comes from the stupid looking piece of plywood/pine I have wedged in the track of the lathe. Obviously there was a good bit of wobbling with just that for support but the tailstock with a piece of scrap wood as a cushion worked like a charm. I couldn't just use the...

Several years ago my wife bought me a kitchenaid grain mill. We were living in an apartment at the time so it was great because it didn't take up much space and we already had a stand mixer. I usually hit my numbers with it so I kept it all these years, even after we bought a house. The mill...

I didn't measure it but it was probably an inch or two below the CO2 dip tube. There wasn't much room. Never used Fermcap but it might be worth giving it a try. There wasn't much blowoff though all things considered. About half of what's in the bottle was Starsan. The stuff that made it in the...

I figured I'd pop back in here with an update of what I ended up doing. The kegs in the fridge have a floating dip tube. The "in" posts (CO2) from both kegs are joined by a nylon barbed T fitting, which leads to a plastic T carbonation cap (thanks @renstyle for that recommendation) attached to...

@renstyle If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick up the T for your bottle setup?

Option 2 sounds like more or less what I'm after, with the addition of the blow off bottle. I'll definitely keep this post saved when I'm putting it all together, thanks!

Hey Gnome, Totally get where you're coming from, and I'm sure that works great. One thing about that method that probably won't work for me though is timing the transfer to Keg 2 with a few points remaining. I hate it but I don't have the time to devote to the hobby like I used to. When I get a...

Hey Jim, thanks for replying. I've seen the StarSan method before and would do it, but I've only got room for two cornies in my fermentation fridge so I wouldn't have a spot for the output. I do have a kegerator that I can use in a pinch but when the pipeline is built back up that won't be a...

Sorry if this has been posted before, I did some research on this but wasn’t able to find anything with this exact set up. I’ve been out of the fermentation game for quite some time now, hoping to get back in to it this summer. I got to thinking about pressure fermentation and how I could make...

Not with elderberry bushes specifically but I've done basil cuttings several times. What's your process? If it works anything like basil you might be better off starting in water only until the roots begin to develop. If you've got a bright light it probably wouldn't hurt to keep it under...
