I purchased a few sanke taps off of craiglist (NADS chrome plated type), and started cleaning them up. I noticed that one of the "plungers" (the thing that goes down to engage the ball bearing in the sanke keg), is too long. As in, even in the "unengaged" position, the tap still taps the keg...

Okay, So my last brewing foray was an Austin Homebrew Anniversary Pale Ale extract kit. I don't remember the specifics (nor does Forrest probably want me posting it), but my details are as follows: Full boil extract brew in Keggle I put wort chiller in during boil to sanitize After chilling...

I'm working on "refining" my keezer from a freezer with STC-1000 temp controller and cobra picnic taps to a collared keezer on casters with perlicks and had a few questions when looking through these keezer builds. 1.) Is there a decent way to mount a 20lb CO2 tank externally, hung from a...

So, I came home drunk last night and knew I had to make my starter for a Pike Kilt lifter clone to be brewed on Saturday (est. 1.067 OG). I've never made a starter, and never used Mr. Malty (luckily I found a link to the calculator because I was either on the wrong site, or the calculator link...

I'm looking into getting into kegging and found this come up on my local craiglist (stay away, KCBrewer): http://kansascity.craigslist.org/for/2224143941.html I used to be big into paintball and know CO2 tanks are supposed to be hydrostatically tested every 5-7 years. Do you think I will have...

I had a quick question regarding reusing the yeast cake. Last night I bottled an Irish Red (Northern Brewers) (it spent 1 day shy of 4 weeks in primary), followed by brewing an Amber (Autumn Amber from Midwest). The amber kit had dry yeast and the Red used Wyeast American Ale II, so I thought...
