Hey guys! I made this mash tun, then did about 4 AG batches, but decided the minor difference in flavor (IMO) wasn't worth the extra 3-4 hours of doing all grain. So i decided to sell the AG tun. Coleman xtreme cooler. Copper pipes with stainless nipple/fittings/ball valve. I'd like to...

Hey guys, just curious. I made some apfelwein that some of my bosses really want to try. I use the method on here, of turning the pressure down, using a modified bottling wand and stopper to fill growlers/bottles. However, without the head that you get from beer filling all the headspace...

I have for sale a single ball lock corny keg. It's a single handle (other half was damaged and removed) keg and I'll throw in an extra O-ring set. Hold pressure. I also have a 25' copper chiller. One end has a garden hose, the other is a bit chewed up from the vice grip (my first attempt at...

Here's a simple question but figured I'd ask. I had kegged and subsequently drank a batch of apple cider over the course of 2 or so months. I made another batch in the meantime and that's about ready to keg. I still have about 5 glasses left (estimate) from the first batch. Second batch is...

Like the title says. I have 2 ball lock kegs that are in decent condition (cleaned and stanitized, holds pressure, but some dents/stickers). I also have a set of O-rings for each to rebuild. I also have a 3/8" immersion chiller thats about 23' long (screwed up the one end bending it). It...

Hey guys, I just setup my kegerator and did some searching, but couldn't find anything specific. I have a 3 tap system and recently finished 2 taps. What's the best way to clean the lines for long term storage? I don't plan on getting enough cash to brew again till probably mid January, which...

Hey guys! I have a few cases of empty, cleaned, and de-labeled (well, most are, a few are recent and not de-labeled) bottles I want to get rid of since I started kegging. I'd say maybe 6-8 still have labels on them (Dogfish Head). Probably a 50/50 split between Sam Adams bottles and others...

Hey guys, quick question. My blonde ale had a very vigorous fermentation and I needed to quickly prevent a fermenter-bomb so I used my siphon tube as a blowoff tube. Placed it in a glass of star-san. However I want to keg 2 batches tomorrow morning before work, and forgot about it. Can i...

So, my parents had an old chest freezer that they didn't use anymore, and I thought it would make a perfect kegerator. It's almost 15 years old, possibly even older than that. Made my Roper. I was going to take pictures during the build, but once things get going...I kinda forgot. I got...

Hey guys, I'm just wrapping up my chest freezer to kegerator conversion, and had a few Love temp wiring questions. I bought the TSS2 to possibly use it as a fermentation chiller as well. I figured it would be better to buy it and not need it, then buy say the TS2 and kick my myself for not...

Just a quick question to wrap up my kegerator build. How tight do you make your faucet to shank and shank to tailpiece connections? I'm assuming just hand tighten since they each have gaskets? Also, for the perlick 525's, the handles seem a bit wobbly and loose (both side to side and...

Just curious to those doing all grain batches, how long does it take you normally? I searched and couldn't find find anything revelavant (guess "long" and "time" are too generic). I was just curious cause I have 2 AG batches done now, and each took about 4-4.5 hours (batch sparging, using a...

So here's the deal. I have boarded the bandwagon and am currently converting my chest freezer into a 3-tap kegerator. I have gone faster than planned, and as a result, I want to have my first keg-tapping party for the Pats-Colts game on the 21st (GO COLTS!). I was wondering what beers I...

Hey guys, brewed an awesome beer a few months ago (double IPA, 10.5% ABV, partial mash), and it was hands out my best beer I created. However, it's been over 2 months since bottling (bottled 7/22), and it hasn't carbed up yet. I put the bottles in a hotter room (around 76*), laid the bottles...

I have a 3/8" by about 23 foot (screwed up the end a bit while bending it) immersion chiller for sale. It has a garden hose fitting on one end, and no fitting on the other. Garden hose fitting is soldered on. I never used it (was an extra I was able to make). Looking for a local sale. 30...

Hey guys. I recently scored a chest freezer that my parents decided to get rid of (it's about 9cu/ft and will hold 6 kegs plus a 5/10 lb co2 bottle. I was wondering what the best/most practical way was for the gas distribution. I plan on having a soda keg, as well as 3 taps for beer. I also...

Here's the question guys. Finally decided to pull the trigger and go all grain, and in doing so decided to look at coolers for it. I was going to go with a 36qt Coleman Xtreme, but after looking at one, I'm not so sure...it seems tiny! So, here's my question, for those with coolers in the...

So I have a huge IIPA fermenting right now, and will eventually dry hop it with a combo of Amarillo/Cascade/Citra. Going for a huge citrus aroma. Anyways, can I do something like: 1oz Amarillo- Day 14 1oz Cascade- Day 18 1oz Citra- Day 22 ...or would it be better to mix them and do...

Quick question before I brew my 5th and most anticipated brew! :rockin: I plan on doing a 3 gal batch of a double IPA, mainly to keep cost down, and becuase I want to make sure its good before doing a 6 gal batch. Is there a common rule on ratio for extract vs sugars...
