Hi all! I've been a homebrewer and member of the forums for a number of years, but haven't been too active. I've gleaned a lot of great information and inspiration from these forums over the years and thought I'd give back by posting my winerator build. I hope you enjoy! This build was a fun...

I keep a keg of sparkling water for the girlfriend, but after seemingly exhaustive efforts to thoroughly clean the entire system, the water still has a slight beer taste. So far, I've thoroughly cleaned the keg including disassembling and cleaning the posts and poppets, have brand new...

I bought a 5 tap beer tower off eBay a while back which didn't come with a lid. I made a pretty decent lid by bending and cutting a sheet of metal made for signs from Home Depot, but it has since rusted severely and isn't shiny like the rest of the tower :(. I haven't been able to find a...

I introduced my in-laws to extract homebrewing a while ago and they've really taken a liking to it. They are solely doing 10 gal extract batches by ordering two of the same kit and brewing it all together. I think ingredient amounts are not a linear function of batch volume, so I think they are...

It appears it is possible to boil starters in an Erlenmeyer flask on "old fashioned" electric stoves. I've read all I could find online and everything says to only boil Erlenmeyer flasks on gas stoves. There have been some unsuccessful attempts on this forum with sand or water and another pot...

Lately, I've been having up to a foot of CO2 (hopefully) building up in the beverage line causing it to spurt and foam excessively when dispensed. The beer is at 38*F and 12lbs of pressure which should give 2.57 volumes of CO2. The dispense line is 3/16" I.D. and 7' long to a cobra tap that is...

I keep my CO2 tank in my keezer and I know that the tank gauge reads low (~500psi) so logically the output gauge is also low. Does anybody know how inaccurate the gauges are as a function of temperature? It's probably a function of pressure too. I suppose I could warm up the tank to some...

I've been searching the internet for a Maredsous 8 or 10 recipe and have come up with the following recipe. It is still very rough and I would really appreciate input or another recipe on how to make this beer. I would like it to be a 5 gallon extract batch. Thanks. yeast #1388 Hops: 1.50...

There is a seller on eBay with 100qt stainless steel stock pots for $160 shipped. :ban: I was wondering if anyone has experience with these pots or other info that would explain why they are so cheap? Here's the link. Also, is there any reason why a 20gal pot shouldn't be used for a 5 or 10gal...

I acquired a "glycol cooled" 5 tap T style beer tower with standard faucets on eBay for $100.99 shipped. SCORE! It didn't have a lid and was kinda dirty and dinged up, but I made a lid out of sheet metal and cleaned it up. The taps aren't in very good shape in my opinion because the chrome has...

Hello everyone. For some reason or another, I've been thinking about how to very quickly cool wort. I know about counterflow chillers, but they have their drawbacks. I've always used an immersion chiller and like how easy the sanitation and cleanup are with it, but I don't like having to stir it...
