    Help: air leak in kegerator

    Yes, this is an air leak, as in 'something aint sealed right and my cold air aint staying cold'. This is not a CO2 problem, as is more common. I have a kegerator which i build onto a minifridge. Was sealed fine, but i recently moved and had to detach it, reassemble and seal. Bad luck now i...

    pipe thread sealant: ok?

    i bought some Rectorseal, Slow dry, soft set pipe thread sealant (it's a red label, with a big #5 on it). It says it's safe for potable water up to 400*F, but of course nothing about boiling wort or mashing, etc. It's not pipe dope, at least not branded as such, and just wanna make sure it's a...

    Why sanitary welds on keggles, etc?

    I got to thinking the other day, everyone says sanitary welds are suggested, if not necessary, when welding couplers into kettles, keggles, etc. But if one were to just TIG the couplers into the HLT, MT, and BK, wouldnt it be ok, because in the end all the wort goes to the BK which boils the...

    weldless valves: silicone washer

    I'm sure we've all seen Bobby_Ms weldless sightglasses (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f41/sight-glass-thermometer-back-stock-164919/). He uses silicone washers instead of Orings, which seems like a better deal, and everyone else who's commented on his products seem to like them too. But for...

    easiest CO2 leak, anyone?

    i've read threads and have got as far as finding the leak in my kegerator, taking the equipment apart, cleaning, putting plumbers tape on, reassembling, pressurizing, and STILL a leak! :drunk: i've got my dual gauge running to 4 secondary gauges inside my kegerator. My leak is at one of the...

    big beer: is it stuck?

    i brewed a midas touch clone on the 16th december with an og of 1.081. its now only at 1.044. last week it was down to 1.050, so there hasn't been much fermentation in 7 days, imo. This is my first big beer. How long does it normally take for big beers to ferment to FG? Should i just keep...

    Bayou Brewhouse logos

    please evaluate my logo. Like everyone else posing this question, honest opinions are best. Positive comments are good. Negatives are best; they'll help improve the label. Naturally, some sort of specific beer name will have to be applied below the logo. 1: 2: thank you for helping!

    hydrometer reading using leftover wort from primary

    so, i've seen a few people mention that after they move their wort from primary to secondary, they use the bit of wort that is remaining in the primary to take a gravity reading. my question is this: wouldnt the yeast and other particulate matter that settled to the bottom stir up into the...

    Fermentation/storage/serving cabinet critique

    I'm planning on building this ferm chamber soon and wanted some input on things that might not work so well and what could be improved on it. I'll have 3 sets of doors on the front, one for each: bottles, serving keg, and primary keg. The construction isnt such an issue; i feel secure with my...

    sankey threaded spear removal

    thought i should post this info regarding sankey spear removal. Wortmonger has got a great thread on using sankey kegs for primary/secondary fermentation that I've adopted and I believe to be gaining in popularity. However, if acquiring kegs, you need to get the spear (the tap/coupler) out. The...

    hey, i just smacked my smack pack, but the seam of the bag split and the contents sprayed everywhere! there's still some stuff left inside (not sure if it's yeast, the nutrients, or both). What should I do? luckily i'm doing a 10 gallon batch, so have 2 smackpacks, but i fear one pack won't...

    weldless vs welded; 1/2" vs 3/8"

    i searched and couldn't find anything specific pointing towards one or the other as a sure thing. a few questions: 1. i get that a welded coupling on a keggle would be more stable and less prone to infection (but if its being boiled in wort anyway, the weldless won't infect the wort either)...
