Just a random thought I had as I have seen store shelves empty of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes due to Coronavirus panic buying. Does Starsan kill viruses? I’ve got plenty of concentrate I could mix up as a sanitizer if regular cleaners continue to be hard to find. My gut tells me Starsan...

I have 5 (16 gram) left over CO2 cartridges. 5 bucks plus shipping from NC.

Nothing fancy but they work. $15 for both. Buyer pays shipping. in Raleigh NC if you are in the area for local pickup.

I have 2 perlick Flow Control faucets for sale. Just took apart to clean and recondition / replaced gaskets as needed. These are chrome plated brass. $40 each. Buyer pays shipping from NC. In Raleigh if you prefer local pickup.

So my ibrewmater finally crapped out so time to move on. What do folks like / not like about brewfather vs. brewers friend? I will be mainly using my iphone / ipad. I have a Windows laptop but it's issued through work so I can't load software on it - which rules out beersmith and other...

So I have been using iBrewmaster for about the past 5 years or so. And while a little buggy, provided pretty much all the features I needed. Recently I upgrade my iphone, and none of the recipes and batch info sync'ed onto the new phone(even though I was using the iCloud Sync feature). They are...

I am looking for these flat O-rings that seal the top of Corny disconnects #1 on the diagram below). KegConnection.com has them for $0.25. I was going to order several but their only shipping option is flat rate $7.99 which is a good deal for most stuff but when your total order is like $1.00...

So I have an old (standard freezer on top) fridge that I have been using about 3 years or so as my fermentation chamber. I have a temp controller on it and everything works great. Except it is rather tight for 2 of my fermenters. I have 2 1/4bbl sanke kegs I use as fermenters, and while I can...

Shouldn't interfere with magnets should it?

Been brewing double batches once a month since December and I finally have a good pipeline going. 5 kegs filled and another 10 gallons in the fermentor. Now I am really wishing I had more then 2 taps. One problem solved. But a new one presents itself. It never ends.

So I have been brewing this Dale's Pale Ale clone for a couple of years with good success. Anywas - long story short When I ordered my ingredients for the upcoming batch I ended up with "white Wheat malt" instead of Munich. So should I just brew with it and see what come out or go by the LBSH...

So I dry hopped a IIPA in my corny at room temp for two weeks. It was about two ounces of pellet hops in a hop bag. After 2 weeks I pulled the hop bag, chilled & carbed. I have pulled about 4 pints from the keg and each one has had a good number of floaties from the hops. They settle out...

Brewed up a IIPA that I am planning on oak agog half the batch for a while. Normally for a darker beer ( stout) I soak the chips in bourbon to sanitize and then dump the whole thing in. Bourbon and all. I am worried that with an IIPA the bourbon may overpower the beer. Do I drain off the...

Man it feels good. Just got me mash going. Between moving cities and a new baby there has not been time. Bit now finally! Last time I brewed was right before new years with my dad. I am all out of home-brews. Buying commercial is expensive! At least for decent craft brew stuff. Brewing up a...

So my hydrometer was sitting in the dish drying rack after use and my daughter come up and starts playing with it and breaks it. So I think it's time to upgrade to a refractometer. I have read the various "refractometer" issues and the concensus seems to point to operator error. Now my...

So I am moving to Raleigh next month for about a 2 year stint. Any of you locals care to fill me in on such things as: LHBS - What is (are ) the best one(s). How is service, price, selection, grain milling etc. Brewpubs - ditto above Water quality - Currently I have great city water to...

Anyone ever tried one of these wine aerators for aerating the wort as it's coming out of the kettle and into the fermenter? Seems like it would work pretty well. Anyone have any experience with this or reason not to try it?

Took my tap tower apart and peaked inside. My beer lines were seriously discolored. I have had them for probably 4-5 years. Typically I flush with Star-san every-time I swap a keg. And run beer-line cleaner through them every so often. I pulled everything apart and will head by the LBSH...

What is the general thinking behind batch size vs. fermenter size to leave enough head space for the Krausen (sp?) After a long break from brewing because of being out of town. I am looking to get back into it this weekend. I have recently upgrade my boil kettle to a 15.5 gallon keggle and am...

Due to a recent addition to the family (newborn) my brewing time will probably be somewhat limited for a bit. But I still love to have good beer available on tap. I have a converted Sanyo 4912 fridge with 2 cornies for the homebrews. Question: I know 1/6 bbl kegs are roughly the same size as...
