    Building a copper tower - need suggestions and measurements

    I have a friend that is a pipe fitter who hooked me up with a good length piece of 3" copper pipe. I'm hoping to patina the copper and put a brass faucet on it. I've already got the faucet, but need a flange and cap for the pipe. I initially intended on using PVC, but the ID on the cap and...

    Water Filtration

    How necessary is water filtration? I've got a few brews under my belt now, I'm happy with them, but I've always borrowed a friend's carbon filter and filtered my water and let it sit over night before brewing. This was recommended to me, but I'm wondering how necessary it is. My friend is a...

    Kegerator shank length?

    Just drilled up an old refrigerator to convert to a Kegerator, but can't seem to find any information on how long my shanks have to be to go through the door. The door measures 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" thick. How much extra length should I have on the shank to accomodate the nut that holds it on...
