I picked up a Glastender 60" Back Bar Cooler on Wheels, Model BB60-L6-BSH(LL), 115V at a local auction site for $225. The initial plan was to put it in my utility room behind the basement bar and run taps through the wall. This is still possible, though this thing is HEAVY and the idea of...

Looking for a cheaper way to get a beer engine. I am going London in a month and a half and am going to try to buy one over there. They seem to be a bit cheaper over there, and I really don't want to spend $400 in American for one! I am fairly handy and can definitely make the wooden...

This is the cheapest I've seen a tank for as my LHB store doesn't have any refurbished. Would this work for brew dispensing? It's for welding so I didn't know if there was something inside the tank that would make it not work...? http://store.cyberweld.com/shielgascyl22.html Thanks!

Got my stout faucet yesterday. Looking forward to some nitro beer. I can't find anyone who will bottle beer gas in a co2 tank so I need to either spend min. $70 on a nitrogen regulator or buy an adapter. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with the adapters and if I need to worry about...

I know this has been discussed, but I haven't found a thread where it is completely clear what is being asked. I know if I leave the wort on the grains over night the Lactic Acid will create off flavor, but if I mash for my standard amount of time, sparge, and boil to kill the bacteria; then...

Finally! Finished my basement bar! It took a few months, and definitely the worst part was sheetrocking the ceiling. Hope you guys approve!

Anyone have a good idea so I can use my kegerator for both corny and sanke kegs without switching the lines in the tower?

Gettin' married at the end of June to a wonderful women named Heather. I am brewing a beer for the Grooms dinner the night before and I wanted to something using the Heather flower. Apparently it was used as a bittering flower before the use of Hops, (along time ago) I was wondering if...

Knocked a wall down and cut a serving window in another - the wetbar plan is in motion! I've got a mini fridge for two kegs and a tower attached at the moment. The plan is to have the tower on top of the bar but what I REALLY want is a glass rinser as part of my drip tray. With a wedding...

I have an IPA fermenting, but my thermometer was broken and I didnt realize it until halfway through mashing. It said 150, but I think i mashed at about 165 for half of the mash. my OG was only at about 1.023. I am thinking about boiling rice syrup or LDME and adding it to the fermentation...

Hey all, just finished with a 5 gallon AG IPA and I'm stressin! Mis-measured my mash water and dumped about 2 extra gallons into the MLT (realized it just as the bucket was empty) and mashed at 155. I slightly adjusted my sparge water, but didn't want to shorty that, boiled 90min, and my OG was...

Great Noob story. between my brew partner and I, I have sort of been the brains behind the brewing process. I sent him to the LHBS with a lager recipe to make our first lager. He also bought grains to make an EPA. Great, but he forgot which bag he put which grains in. So we very well could...

So I have done about 4 AG batches and they have been fantastic and a great experience. My brew partner and I have been doing 5 gallon batches for a while and decided to do a 10 gal batch. Everything went well, we have a cooler MLT that fit all the grains and enough water, the problem came when...

I have a keg of cream soda in my two tap kegerator. I have 25' of line to serve the soda. I was wondering if there was a way to create a disconnect so that I could change out the lines between 25' and 7' for my beer. The barbs in my tower are a PITA to take a hose on and off of so I was...

This is a question/comment. To keep SWMBO happy I am making a Cream Soda. I have read in a lot of threads that if you do this because of the amount of pressure you need in soda you have to get a 20'+ line for serving to keep it balanced like you would with a regular beer. Well this was...

I made an Irish Red on Thursday night (3 days ago) and saw some okay airlock activity the next day. By Saturday it had all but stopped. The vodka is pushed up and it may be bubbling every 10 minutes or so. The reason I ask is becuase it is the first time I have used a yeast starter pack...

I brewed a Pumpkin Ale two weeks ago and it was fermenting nicely. I took hydro readings on two days and things had stopped. I was ready to rack my stout from my carboy to a keg, and then put the Pumpkin Ale from the primary to the carboy. unfortunately my kegerator stopped working (start...

Just brewed my first stout and the OG was 1.083. The gravity has been steady at 1.033 for the last three days. It is still in the primary, The FG should be 1.024. I had read some threads on amylase enzyme, but I thought it may be a yeast problem. Also,as there were many arguments as to...
