    Best tap/conversion option for Sanke kegs

    I just got your ball lock conversion kit and a sanke tap. The build quality is, like NASA grade- excellent, solid and (finally) working. My very minor complaints would be: The gas coupler could use an extra gasket. I had one that fit, but needed two for a good leak-free fit. Put a sticker on...

    Best tap/conversion option for Sanke kegs

    I'm not married to that tap at all, I was just going for the Perlick brand. Is there a tap you'd recommend? I don't need low profile.

    Bobby, would the SANKE KEG COUPLER BALL LOCK POST CONVERSION SET work with the tap I linked to?

    Best tap/conversion option for Sanke kegs

    Looking for some advice on using 1/6 to 1/2 barrel kegs with my ball lock co2 setup. Would these work? Are there better options? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007MCF7I4/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006IW80HY/

    Alts for Briess Brewer's Malt and Briess Pale Malt

    My LHBS doesn't carry these. I can't figure out what Briess Brewer's Malt is, let alone figure out a substitution. Same for Briess Pale Malt.

    Brewmasters Warehouse

    Man oh man, what happened to BW? I put an order in on May 20. Sent an email about 10 days later asking about shipping time, got no reply. A week after that I called and was told it would be going out "soon." Sent another email last week, again no response. Just got shipping notice yesterday...

    Coconut Rum Porter Recipe Help

    Coconut is oily, which may affect head retention. I'd add some wheat for that reason alone.

    Wet shaving thread.

    There's a web forum called badger and blade. About as in-depth as the homebrew info here. There are videos, instructions, reviews, etc.

    stainless steel hop canister/bag

    My LHBS has these SS tea balls, about the size of a raquetball. They're fantastic, but don't hold enough. I'm sick of muslin and plastic hop bags. I'm looking to find or build a stainless steel hop canister or bag for boiling hops. Ideally this would be a cylinder made of wire mesh with a...

    PBW for cleaning and Star San for sanitizing, mixed according to the instructions. Use distilled water for the Star San.

    Wet shaving thread.

    I have the same problem. First, hold a very hot, wet facecloth over your face for a few minutes before shaving, which will soften the hairs. Also, don't try to get all the hair in one shot. Lather up, make a pass going WITH the grain and rinse. Then lather again and make a pass going AGAINST the...

    Abysmal Efficiency (55%-ish). Help?

    When sparging, you need to raise the temp of the grain bed to 170F. For me, that means my first round of batch sparging needs to be around 200F. You will grab several points, if not more, this way. I get about 80% with a Home Depot cooler and braid, batch sparging.

    How would I...

    I'm constantly amazed at the breadth and depth of knowledge on this forum. I've gotten answers here to questions about plumbing, astrophysics, electrical, etc. This is a serious hive mind!

    Does it offend you?

    I've used all sorts of Irish slurs for names of my beers over the years.
