I plan on getting a March pump in the near future and had a question about the silicone tube ID size. Why does everyone use 1/2" ID tubing? Could 3/8" ID tubing work as well? Either way I'd use the 1/8" walled stuff. I realize that the larger ID equals more flow, but I was just...

I entered my Oktoberfest into a local brewing contest. I got good scores and would have placed if I showed up for the meeting where they announced the winners (I got hosed......damn thesis dominating my life!) Here are the score sheets: #1, #2, #3 So, the issue is in the flavor, with a...

So, I orded some hops from hopsdirect.com earlier this year. Their prices are amazing, <$10 a POUND for most varieties. I'm not questioning their pricing or the quantity of hops you receive from them. This has been well covered in other threads. Question: has anyone else been...

I'm in the process of making my keezer collar, 1x6 pine. I'm attaching the collar to the lid, going to use Liquid Nails for that. I'm also going to glue 3/4" foam insulation panels on the inside of the collar. I want to clear coat the pine instead of painting it. My plan was to clear...

I just got a soda regulator with two low pressure gauges (0-160 psi) and a high pressure gauge. Can I just simply simply unscrew and replace the 0-160 psi gauges with a 0-60 psi gauge to more accurately set my co2 levels? Also, the regulator didn't come with shutoff valves, which I...
