Hey folks, hoping to get some opinions on a very slow leak I have. I recently moved and after setting up my previously leak-free kegging system I am now finding a very slow leak that I'm having trouble tracking down. With all kegs disconnected, I turn the main tank on, adjust my regulator to...

Hey fellas. I've got a corny whose black rubber top has completely fallen off. Thus, I am left with a bare metal top with no indication of which hole was originally the IN and which was the OUT (both posts have been removed). I know it matters which quick disconnect attaches to which post...

I've been kegging for awhile, and usually have 3-4 on tap. However I recently ran dry and only have 1 keg going. I have typically connected my gas line to the keg, then set my regulator to ~12 psi, and never had a problem. I checked the pressure today, and with only one keg instead of my...

Typically when I keg a beer I will hit it with 30psi to seat the lid and then let the keg sit at room temp for a couple months before throwing it in my fridge and carbing it. I've noticed with some of my kegs that when I go to move it in the fridge and pull the off-gas ring on top to check...

Last night I stumbled in to my brew room after waking up in the middle of the night to let the dog out and noticed I had krausen flowing out of my airlock on day 2 of fermentation. In my sleepy haze I grabbed the nearest tube around and fitted a blowoff. This morning I realized that the tube...

I am trying a wine kit for the first time and from searching the site am unable to find a confirmed answer on what type of water I should be using. I know with beer I have had success running tap water through a charcoal filter. With wine, since it is not being boiled, is it best to purchase...

I have a double dual gauge regulator that's been working fine for around a year. Today I kegged a beer and was cranking the pressure to 30 psi to seal the lid, when the needle just kept on going all the way to the max (60 psi). Once it hit the max, a hissing sound emerged. I turned the tank...

So after a few drinks last night I thought it would be a great time to dry hop my ipa I brewed three weeks ago. I had brewed a 10g batch split in to two 5g buckets, and 1 oz Amarillo, 1 oz Simco was to be added to each. I measured out the hops and put the proper amounts in separate containers...

Hey guys! Hoping to get some help on a possible recipe here... I was planning on brewing a batch of the Lake Walk Pale Ale. I visited my LHBS and handed off my handwritten recipe to be filled and crushed. When I got home, I realized that I had 2 pounds of roasted malt instead of toasted...

Well I had poor results with my first few extract/PM recipes. They all seemed to develop a strange off flavor in the bottles, which got worse with time. I would get no aroma, flavor would all bland down to the same flavor regardless of beer type... makes me think oxidation? Regardless, I...

I'm about to dry hop Yooper's Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA clone. I have had only one beer prior that I had to dry hop, and due to not having any secondary vessel available, I just threw the hops in to the primary after ~3 weeks. This round, I do have a 6g better bottle available. Are there any...

I think it just may be... HOPSIDE DOWN™ Trying to get a hold of one myself, but all stores in my area are sold out. At $20 a pop, a local store should be in stock mid April. Figured I'd share the news on this cool concept! :mug:

I'm sure there's an answer out there already, but I didn't turn anything up with a quick search. I initially bought a keg kit that came basically pre-assembled. I'm trying to add on another liquid out, so I purchased the following: Threaded liquid out quick disconnect Threaded to 1/4"...

Okay, so I think I have an understanding of what's going on here, but I want to confirm... I picked up a kegging setup with 2 cornys, 5 lb tank, and the double dual gauge regulator from Midwest about a month ago and immediatly kegged two beers. One keg was kicked about a week ago and I...

I can't get this post o-ring off! I've got a slow leak in my gas in post, so I'm disassembling it, cleaning it, and lubing the o-rings. It appears that the post o-ring is brand spankin' new, so I don't want to destroy it... but how in the world do I get this sucker off? Fingernails aren't...

Just busted out my new immersion chiller for the first time. Cleaned the outside and whatnot, but what about the water still inside? I can drain some of it, but it is still noticeably heavier with water weight than it was originally. Is it necessary to shoot some compressed air through it or...

I have spent the last few weeks piecing together my AG getup. Gotten the inline water filter set up, new brewpot, burner, all the goodies. Bought everything for my Coleman Xtreme 70qt MLT but can not for the life of me find a single 3/4" SS washer! Today my travels included Home Depot, Lowes...

Total noob question, I'm sure. I purchased the 2 keg setup from Midwest. I'm just sitting down to clean the kegs (and fill one!) and noticed that the posts are different... They are both cornelius kegs. One of the kegs has straight cylindrical posts with equal sized nuts: The other...

Received my starter keg kit the other day, and I have, for some reason, had a pressing question on my mind since. Hypothetically speaking, what can be carbonated? Obviously I could make some delicious sparkling water. Maybe recarbonate that half full can of Mountain Dew that's been sitting...

Well I have collected all my equipment for full boil AG sans an MLT, which I am looking at piecing together this coming weekend. I've done a few PM recipes, but I have a question regarding bigger AG beers with batch sparging. From what I've read, double batch sparging offers better efficiency...
