I occasionally repurpose my bucket blaster to create a recirculating draft line cleaning setup, with the help of Bobby's awesome npt to ball lock adapter. I'm curious, however, if the bucket blaster pvc pipe is 1/2" bsp or npt. It all fits together pretty well, but I suspect I've been mating two...

I'm new to the nitro game, and I noticed there isn't a built in gasket on my regulator, unlike my co2 regulator. I understand CGA valves don't require teflon tape, and therefore rely on a gasket to form a seal, so I'm curious what the best practice is for nitro tanks and regulators. Here's the...

Does order of operations matter? I'd like to have a bit of extra security on the gas side of things.

I've noticed there should really be some sort of spacer on the hard metal frame of the bucket blaster when one is cleaning carboys. You can hear microscratches happening every time you put a carboy on the metal frame, it's simply too rough on the glass. Especially if you're cleaning a full size...

Does anyone know the thread type for the Nukatap Counter Pressure Bottle filler? I'd like to use this 1/4" NPT Male to 1/4" MFL Male Flare Adapter from brewhardware.com, however I suspect the Nukatap has bsp threads rather than npt. Maybe I can just use some teflon tape or a gasket to ensure a...

Can I make this happen if I use this adapter? https://www.amazon.com/10-30P-L6-30-Receptacle-PRIMECOM-TECH-Charger/dp/B07Y724BY7?th=1 Of course, there's no GFCI on the 10-30 outlet, which isn't ideal. Sadly, I'm a renter, so this is my only option to upgrade to 240v. Any thoughts would be...

The pump that came with my bucket blaster died and I'm looking for a non kegland brand replacement, preferably something that won't break after 6 months . Any suggestions that would be compatible with the bucket blaster, which I I believe has 1/2" threads? Thanks HBT!

I've decided to upgrade the tower on my Haier Kegerator, however I noticed the new tower I purchased is 3 inches in diameter rather than 2 inches. Will I be ok drilling new mounting holes in the top of the kegerator? If so, what size drill bit is preferred?

Anyone have a recommendation for swapping/refilling CO2 tanks near Grass Valley or Auburn? Thought I'd ask if there's a preferred source, as co2 suppliers seems to vary in price quite a bit.

I used one of these stainless steel dry hop cylinders to dry hop in a keg: Stainless Steel 300 Micron Brewing Hopper Filter Homebrew Dry Hops Beer Tea Brew 688295882251 | eBay The lid is super flimsy and does not screw on securely. Sure enough, the pos lid came off in the keg and dry hops...

I'm swapping all the orings on my kegs, and I've run into a particularly pesky oring that seems like it's glued on to the diptube. No amount of force is getting this thing off, so it looks like I may have to cut it. Do I have any other options? I'm not loving the idea of scratching up the...

I've noticed some corona mills come with a cover that keeps grain bits from flying everywhere, like this model for example: https://www.amazon.com/CHARD-GM-150-Grain-Mill-Coated/dp/B00A2YG6C0/ref=sr_1_19?dchild=1&keywords=grain+mill&qid=1623172414&sr=8-19 Mine doesn't have that feature, so I'm...

I'm putting together some jumpers so I can start doing pressure transfers and I'm undecided on the ideal length. 2-3 ft sounds good, what are y'all going with?

Are these Danby fridges reasonably quiet, or should I go with a more common brand name Fridge? I'm looking for a potential freezerless kegerator fridge.

I know this isn't directly brewing related, but I trust the expertise of the good people on the Brew Science forum. Anybody out there remineralizing RO water for drinking? If so, what target ppm values are you shooting for in terms of Calcium, Chloride, Sulfate, and Magnesium? I'm planning on...

Took apart my Robobrew V3 to replace the circuit board and I lost the screws to put everything back together. Anyone know what size screws I need to put things back together? Fortunately the new board works, so I didn't totally blow it. FML!! Wish I had labeled and stored those screws in a safe...

Electric brewing novice here, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I'm looking to brew larger batches than the 35L Robobrew will allow, so I'm exploring budget friendly alternatives. I'd like to install this element in a 15 gallon kettle, is it absolutely necessary to have a controller...

I'm looking to purchase something like this: https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/S_S_Mesh_Keg_Dip_Tube_Filter_Screen_3_8_p/mesh-filter-3-8.htm Unfortunately it seems the diptube screens from US homebrew shops I've seen online carry this product instead, which appears to have significantly larger...

I'm brewing a brown ale and I'm looking to to adjust my water to resemble the Brewers Friend London profile, as my source water does not contain sufficient bicarbonate. To treat 15.5 gallons of liquor, I've calculated the following additions to get in the ballpark: 3.95 grams Gypsum, 1.94 grams...

I'm looking for some clarification regarding the carbonate and/or bicarbonate content of my water. For some reason the water report provided by my local water district shows a value for CaCO3 ppm, but does not contain any info about HCO3 ppm. Is that normal practice for municipal water reports...
