I bought one of these cheap Dernord branded CIP balls. I want to use it in a corny keg cleaner. The keg will be upside down over the ball. Where should I position the ball vertically? Near the bottom (mouth of the keg), in the middle, or up high near the bottom of the keg? I'll post the...

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced source for 1" ID Natural Santoprene 73A FDA Tubing in rolls of 50 feet or less? USPlastic.com is the only source I have so far. They sell the 1/8" wall version for $4 a foot including shipping. That's nearing silicone prices. Isn't thermoplastic...

You may have seen Part I in my thread Mystery Perlick Faucet - Help Identify. Turns out one of the faucets isn't like the others. It's an interesting front seal design without a shuttle. There's a sphere permanently (?) attached to the bottom of the lever. I can't figure out how to get the...

I got a Perlick T-tower that has six of these faucets. The tower was salvaged from a bar that went out of business. I attempted to identify the tower on the Perlick website but didn't find an exact match. I suspect the tower is very old. Same with the faucets. This faucet came straight off...

These camlock barb fittings are available in sizes up to 4 inches. What kind of hose is used on the larger sizes, say 2 to 4 inches? I'm asking because I'm considering using one of the larger sizes for the main line of my keg washer.

I found my cat digging like a maniac in a bin of brewing stuff. I though it was funny at first. On closer inspection, it wasn't so funny. A brand new bag of Fermaid O was torn to shreds. The powder was everywhere. I wrote it off as typical psyco cat behavior at first but as time passed I...

I'm brewing eight batches of cider with eight different yeasts. I can make four 5 gallon batches and four 3 gallon batches. Which four yeasts would you honor with a 5 gallon batch?

What's the best way to punch a hole for an airlock grommet in a plastic bucket lid? This is what my grommets look like: I measured the width in the middle area and it's about 12mm or almost 1/2 inch. I know a regular 1/2" drill will leave a mess of a hole. I was thinking a punch like these...

I placed an order from Long Island Homebrew twelve days ago. They emailed an order confirmation and charged my card but didn't provide a tracking number or ship date. A few days ago, I used their online form to inquire about my order. No response from that. Today, I tried calling the number...

I'm rehabbing a 50psi primary regulator I bought secondhand. I want to replace the gauges and piggyback it to another primary regulator so I have 100psi for soda and 50psi for beer. (I have secondary regulators to step those down as needed.) It looks like this regulator was built using blue...

I'm in the process of the rehabbing a second hand kegerator. It came with a Taprite 740 series regulator, model 366M. I want to replace the gauges so I was looking over parts on the Taprite website. I noticed the CO2 bottle nipple shown on the website has a washer. My regulator doesn't...

Do regular Perlick / Nukatap beer taps work well for soda and seltzer?

I'm getting back into the hobby after a two decade absence. I brewed kits and extract recipes back in the day. I looked into BIAB and the Robobrew type systems but they don't appeal to me. I want to brew all-grain using the standard three vessel system. I plan to outfit my tun with a false...
