    WTF?? Carboy Self-Destructs???? No Help from Me

    Before lead based paint was bad it covered 99% of homes. Whats your point? Glass does not leech antimony, phthalates, carcinogenic styrene, estrogenic alkylphenols, and a host of other ****. Yes, it breaks, still not a good reason not to use it.

    I hope you drink your beer from plastic cups.

    extra fine irish moss flakes

    The experiment only works if you are adding the same quantity. 1 level teaspoon of moss v/s 1 level tsp of ground moss is not the same.

    stone arrogant bastard clone

    Don't change anything unless you plan to make only 3 gallons of beer. I'm assuming you are doing a 3 gallon boil for a 5 gallon batch and will add water to meet the mark. This recipe is fine for 5 (final) gallons.

    http://www.fizzgiz.com/ Way cheaper and you can carb up a liter or 2 of beer in seconds. Uses regular co2 cartridges.

    What do you prefer more in your LHBS?

    Can't vote on this. My LHBS used to be great, single store, the co-owners worked the store and couldn't wait til you got there to chat, knew your name, had good stuff and great customer service. They've since bought all the other LHBS's in the area, there is a different person there each time...

    What size brew pot to get?

    Because some day you will want a full rig and pumps and chillers and all kinds of stuff that will require that valve.

    Coor's Disposable Keg = Party Pig?

    The threaded cartridges work fine, but my tap sprung a lead and is worthless.

    My Experience With The Coors Lite Home Draft (Video)

    The threaded ones work fine. Tight fit but not a problem.

    My Experience With The Coors Lite Home Draft (Video)

    A drip caught my eye and I found the miller lite 'keg' had leaked out about half of the starsan solution. I put a fresh co2 cartridge in and the tap leaks like crap with solution coming out all around the edges of the tap handle. I'll have to buy a new one, but perhaps one use only is all...

    SodaStream for force carbonation?

    http://www.fizzgiz.com/ for $30 but he also has DIY instructions on the site as well for around $10. I mostly use it to sodafy Kool Aid and such, but it's nice to pour off a liter or 20oz bottle while kegging and carb it up and enjoy. Gives you some a bit of a comparison point to see how it...

    Is aluminum okay?

    I found a 15 gallon AL pot at a restaurant supply shop with shipping for around $60. Easy to drill for the bulkhead/ball valve as well.

    My Experience With The Coors Lite Home Draft (Video)

    Way too expensive. Not affiliated but I buy my CO2 here: http://www.redrockminnesota.com/servlet/StoreFront The 16g threaded cartridges seem to be the best match but are a little bigger and it's a tight fit into the cartridge housing.
