I work in the natural gas field and can attest that the fittings are very much the same. I could see this happening if you weren't paying attention.

Awesome. Not a bad price considering what a retailer would charge for the same thing. Congrats on a successful design.

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I was sifting back through my threads and realized I never wrote back to you all.

Very nice! What was the final cost of all materials?

I have been considering straining or filtering my wort ever since I have begun having trouble with clogged kegs. I was wondering if it would be possible (and beneficial) to filter my finished wort through my grain bag that I used for steeping. My thought was that it would filter out a lot of...

So I found the search feature on my phone for sub forums, and I think u answered my question. I'll have to let the leg sit longer in the future I think.

I kegged my first batch last weekend. I force carbonated, hooked everything up, and when I went to serve, the beer barely came out of the picnic faucet. After a minute it totally stopped. my first thought was the outlet tube was clogged with sediment, so I attached the inlet tubing to the outlet...

One of the owners is a good friend of my uncles. I was in the market for a kegging system so I checked out his site. He was extremely helpful in explaining what I needed and what I didn't. On top of that his prices were great. Nice to see a small company treating its customers with such patience...

Lol, I feel ya. Been trying to plan our brew session for weeks. By the way, GO PACK!

Hey, ya like what ya like.

Lol, more than I expected. We're relatively new to brewing (only 5 batches brewed, all extract, and all pretty simple). Are any of those extract and have fairly simple ingredients? I don't think our local shop has a lot of variety.

A friend and I are hosting a fairly large St. Patty's Day party at a lodge near us. Guinness, Smithwicks, Bass, and other Irish/English beers are normally served, but since we've started home brewing more often we wanted to add a home brew kick to this year's events. We're going to make at...

I remember reading Revvy's post when I first started brewing a while back, but I had since forgotten. Wise words... I'm 98% sure this batch is infected; I just don't think the taste and smell can be done away with. Here's a pic. Edit: Ok, the pictures isn't showing up for me. You can access...

I brwed my extract bitter four weeks ago, its still in the fermenter. This is my 4th overall batch, and my 2nd of this kind, so I know what it should look and smell like. About 1 week in I noticed some weird spots floating at the top, it almost looked like a off colored mold. I noticed as...

Alright, I'll sleep easy tonight now. Thanks! This brewing business is stressful on my nerves!

I just boiled my second batch tonight, a Dry Irish Stout. The kit suggested OG was 1.042, and I've seen it as high as 1.056 on other recipes. I followed all of the directions and had a pretty mistake-free (relatively, of course, to my first batch) brew session. At the end I took a SG reading...

It is a British Bitter Ale Extract from NB - Beer Properties as listed by NB. My OG post-boil, pre-yeast was 1.030. My SG at day 3 and 4 were both 1.010. Day 3's taste seemed like it had a bit more alcohol than day 4. The beer started out at around 76F during the first day, but has since...

That's what I hoped to hear, thanks guys!

What are the best times to test your beer (or wort) throughout the whole process? I thought I read somewhere you can sip the cooled wort and get a good feeling if the beer came out ok... And I'm assuming you can taste during and after primary fermentation, and at bottling... Am I wrong on any...
