    Better investment - Immersion chiller or Counterflow?

    What about the potential in the future to use a hop back. It seems like some of the good recipe clones out there require a Hop back. And as far as I can tell, you have to use a CFC for a hop back to work? Is this correct?

    Went to secondary fermentation think I messed up maybe I should dump or is it ok?

    Actually the aluminum foil with a rubber band wrapped around did make the sanke keg pretty airtight. I guess you would need to check the foil thoroughly before hand. I am in the process of purchasing a drilled stopper for the sanke keg fermenter and an airlock. I am going to get a #11 drilled...

    Ok, phew.... Really thought I might have ruined it there. Thanks for the quick response. Now I wont have to worry all day about my beer while at work. Can I use the keg as a secondary from here on out or should I not use it since there is a headspace of oxygen. What does the oxygen...

    Ok, so this is my second attempt at brewing beer. First time was about 10 years ago and the internet was not as up and going as it is now. And I made a huge mistake and had to dump my beer. Now I have read a bit and this is my second go at it. But here is where my problem lies. So I have read...

    Ok, so I got an old Keg shell from a friend and I want to get the stem removed.

    Anyone know where i can find kegs cheap

    Hey off topic a little bit, but a friend of mine works at a distributor and every so often they get kegs empty kegs returned that they dont have an account with, so they are often just disgarded. However, I wanted to use one as a fermenter. Long story short, the sankey keg he gave me is a...
