One of the lids to my keg seems like it's not closing tigh enough, and I think those little rubber bits that are on each end of the lid's handle are getting worn down. Does anyone know where to get those little pieces? Thanks.

Brewed up a batch this morning, but somehow at some point toward the end I cut my finger. I was in the middle of something so I could go grab a bandage. I just kept rinsing it in a bucket of water I had sitting there, and wiping on the rag ij my pocket. Pretty sure I didn't get it any blood in...

I making a starter for some yeast I rinsed a while back. When I opened the jar there was some mold on the lid and the outside rim of the jar. I wiped it down with a clorox wipe and dumped out most of the liquid and pitched the yeast into the starter. You think it'll be okay to brew with? There...

So, I've been kegging for a while now, but this past year I've had an issue pop up a couple times that I just can't figure out. Once in a while I'll have a keg that does this thing, where everytime I pour a beer I start off normal than just starts pouring straight foam for a couple seconds and...

So, a few years ago I was given two of these March pumps, but I've never used them because I don't have the fittings, and everytime I look online for them I get confused and give up. Does anyone else have something like these, and what fittings do I need to start using them? Thanks!

Has anyone seen these or used them? I thought they might be nice for my mini regulator setup, instead of being one time use cartridges. How do they get refilled? What kind of adaptor would you use? Does anyone know anything about these?

So, I was planning a brew day for this weekend, but started thinking I'd try to squeeze it in on Thursday instead. I have to work Thursday, but thought if I started the mash on my lunch break, I could finish brewing when I get off. However, I was planning to mash hop for this one, and wasn't...

I've been thinking of something and not sure of it's possible. I've been brewing for a long time now, but I think it's time to start keeping things more on the session side. I'm 40+ now and don't think having big beers on tap are that great for me. I want to make a session IPA with the big...

Does anyone use one of these? It looks like it might be a decent budget burner, but wondered what you all thought.

Alright, I want to brew a bitter, but I want to use up some stuff I have on hand. I've got it down to Sonnett and Adeena, basically because the alpha fits my idea for the recipe. Which one would work best. I think they're both related to English hops, which is another reason these are my two...

It's fruit season where I'm at, and I recently picked a couple pounds of Serviceberries. I was thinking about throwing them in a beer. Anybody ever use these before? Just thinking making a fruited farmhouse, but would like to hear what anyone else's experiences might have been with these berries.

Morebeer.com has some stuff called Whisky malt and I thought it might be interesting to brew with. I think it's different from distillers malt, because they carry that too with the distinct name of distillers malt. They say you can use it in beers amd get some fun flavors, but has anyone here...

So, a local homebrewer guy passed away a couple months back, RIP, and they were selling his beer making stuff. So, I bought 26 cans of liquid amber malt extract for like 50 or 60 bucks. Seemed like a good deal. I was just coming here to see if anyone has some fun recommendations of what to brew...

I've been brewing for about 10 years and have always appreciated the advice I've gotten on homebrewtalk. However, the same can not be said in my brief experience in the homebrew subreddit. I've gotten information on there that I know is straight up wrong and today I saw some advice for a new...

I want to connect my smaller wort chiller to my other wort chiller to make one bigger wort chiller. Would this be a dumb idea, and what would be a good way to connect them?

I'm just wanting some help making some decisions. I have 6, 8oz packs of various hbc exp hops from YVH. I was originally planning to do a series of single hop pales, but I'm thinking about making some various combinations instead. What do you think I should do? I was thinking of using 6oz per...

So, I apparently went on some YVH shopping sprees over the last year or two, and now I have a lot of 2020 hops sitting in my freezer. Anyone have a good idea on when I should try to use most of those by? I know AA% can fads over time, but what other flavor compounds. For example there's an...

A few years back my wife bought me a new Gas One burner, and I really liked it, but the last time I used it I couldn't get it to burn right. It was doing the big slow orange flame instead of the small focused blue flames. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the O2 to propane ratio, but I can't...

Some little a hole mice chewed a hole in a 55lb bag of grain. I bought a new bag of grain last week, and kept it up off the floor thinking it qould be safe there for for a few a days. But those little $#!+s managed to find it and chewed a couple little holes in the corner. I put it away in my...

Would this work for a beer gas set up?
