I brewed an APA, sort of an apri-hop type clone last fall. Brewing went fine, and then I decided to rack the beer onto 3 lbs of blended apricots in the secondary for a week. I pitted the apricots, threw them in a blender with a bit of water, and boiled them for about 1/2 hr. There was a bit...

Has anyone else come across any off-flavors due to these? The ones that came with mine are black (buna-N I think). I have been getting some off flavors since I upgraded to these fittings. I finally took the seals out today and boiled them in the microwave in a glass for a few minutes. When I...

I had a thought the other day: would it be possible to attach a keg setup on a golf cart and play a round, or would all the bouncing about kill my dream? I also have hopes of taking a keg on the boat this summer. Has anyone attempted anything similar?

I've finally decided to join this site ... I've lurked here for awhile & learned a lot. On to my question: I'm currently about to switch to fly sparging; before you ask, yes I have the setup and I don't need any batch sparging advice. I've seen other brewers fly sparge, and generally heat up...
