Anyone ever buy something off etsy? Is it legit?

I'm looking for a supplier of: Colorless 12oz glass bottles, crimp-cap style (not twist) Crimp caps with liners that can take retort (121°C / 250°F) temperatures (Don't worry, this is not for beer! It's for something I'm trying at work.)

I've been researching a portable regulator system for dispensing from a 2.5gal ball lock keg. I've seen the super-mini keg charger systems that take the 16g CO2 cartridges; but the plastic-bodied trigger style sounds totally like junk, and even the metal-bodied ones with regulator get mixed...

Last night took the family out for wings and mashed potato and bacon pizza at a local pub. Mmmm. Wife ordered Modern Times Rolling Boomers, waitress poured from can. I ordered Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale (never had it before) from the draft list. I tasted my wife's beer, it was just what...

My BIL is an IPA fiend. He loves crazy high-IBU's, but not crazy high ABV or super bone-dryness. He also seems to really like anything I've served him with Simcoe in it. (For the record, I'm a big fan of Simcoe) He wants me to brew him a biggish IPA for his 50th b'day party, whatever I...

I am drafting an ad for Craigslist, thought I'd run it by the pool of potential applicants here first, since any decent homebrewer--and/or person who kinda thinks they want to work in a brewery but wants more stability--likely possesses the skills and aptitude we're looking for! PM me if...

Stone of course has been in nationwide distribution for some time. We all know about the recent billion-dollar Ballast Point deal. So which other San Diego area craft breweries are poised to take the leap to nationwide distribution / "satellite" production? Which deserve it? Which would...

There are many testimonials on the web regarding a sulfur smell coming out in the beer on the first pull of the day when using Perlick 650ss flow-control faucets. I assure you, it is not a myth, it is real. (Just Google keywords like “Perlick 650ss sulfur” to see.) Some think it’s due to...

Who is gravity-racking to their corny keg using a spigot on a ported plastic fermenter / carboy (say, Big Mouth Bubbler or Better Bottle)? What are your experiences, good or bad? Do you wish you were doing it another way? Leaky spigot? Oxidation? Too much trub transferred? Surely this...

I get that if serving (and, I suppose, set-and forget carbing?) a stout on 75/25 nitro/CO2, you want to set your regulator to about 4 times what you would for straight CO2 (say, maybe 30-35 psi at 40F) since only the CO2 portion readily dissolves. And use a stout faucet with restrictor plate...

The creamer function on a faucet--for example, the difference between a Perlick 690ss and a 650ss--is that worthwhile? Can that do anything I can't do just by holding my glass a little lower and/or "blasting" the bottom of the glass at the start of a pour?

Wtf?

I see many keezer builds online using pink foam board insulation inside the collar. I'm planning to use this because I have a bunch left from another project. In the area where the shanks go, a lot of times I see that the builder just leaves a "blank spot" (no insulation). Or perhaps cuts...

Is there a "standard" size for keezer (not tower) shank lock nut? That is, the wrench or deep socket you need to tighten it? My web searching suggests many are 1-3/16" although nothing said that was any kind of a universal (US, anyway) standard. I called 5 different keg equipment supply...

Thinking about Perlick 650SS faucets for my very first ever keezer build. I have some questions: How do you like it? Is the flow control worthwhile, or just a gimmick? Is it true that if you turn the adjustment valve all the way to "off" that it stops all flow...even if the faucet is...

Just starting to plan out a keezer. I want to be able to keep 4 cornies cold, presumably each at its own carb level based on style, so I suppose I'll want a bank of four secondaries for that. It seems my options are: 1. Primary on the CO2 cylinder, then low-pressure gas line to a bank of...

I find myself with 4oz each of: Rakau, Eureka, and EXP 6277 hop pellets from Farmhouse Brewing. Was thinking of doing some simple single-hop, late-hop-bursted Pales with each, just to learn them. Anyone with experience using these hops? Just want to hear what you found with them.
