    Have you ever tried metal salvage yards? I found eleven 3 gallon corny's at local salvage at $20/each... great condition and the price unheard of.

    Mexican craft beer when in playa del Carmen

    Just got back to the states from a trip to playa. Thought i would share since it was quite hard to find. First off, Amazing time! For one... In my quest for cerveza artisanal though I was met with laughter, funny looks, and "we're still in a small town." One night my wife and I came across las...

    Where can I buy sankey kegs?

    Have you tried any metal salvage yards? In the Phoenix area, I find the 5 gal sankey's quite often. Then you're only spending the price per pound on stainless. Its the way to go if you're near any yards.

    urgent! at scrap yard

    Thanks for the help guys! I actually got a cornie that the guy at the scrap yard thought was aluminum so I got it for $5. It is in fact SS and after researching it seems that there probably are not any aluminum cornies out there.

    Best Practice for carbonating/storing kegs?

    Any more input here. I'm making a bunch of beer for my wedding in November and just got kegging equipment to make my life (and storing decent quantities of beer easier). I've been "googling" and wondering about this. I have a 20lb tank, dual tap regulator and a keezer setup. Will I be able to...

    These are all great bits of advice. Do you have any pictures/links of these quick disconnects that you use? I was hoping for a set up like that. Thanks!

    Type of tubing/hose for transfering boiling water/wort??

    I must be over-thinking this... I am using pex to run my filtered water from the filter to the HLT. Once I have boiling water to send to my MT I'm not sure if I should be using pex, copper, some type of heat resistant flexible tubing, or something else? Obviously, I want something food grade and...

    Build burner issues

    My new burner orifice showed up today and I took a video to show you the improvement. I hope it helps those that may have similar questions in the future. My question now is how high should I have the kettle above the burner? Will the flames be coming up the sides of my kettle at all? Will...

    Which propane burner to buy

    I have the little bg 10 burner and I'm tinkering with it now to figure out my distance. Anyone have any pictures or advice like this for amount of room from burner to kettle? When I initially tested I was getting a ton of flame rolling up the sides... not what I want and I don't want to waste...

    Do I need a pump?

    Thanks! This is the kind of info I was hoping to get. Do I just simply run it through my cfc and loop it back into the boil kettle until the kettle temp total is 140 or lower? then start running it right into the fermenter? Great idea!

    Do I need a pump?

    I am building a similar tiered brew stand like the one pictured in the link. http://www.brewtree.com/i/SUB%20EZ%20Access/tn_DSC01635.JPG My question is... do I need a pump for circulating wort through my counterflow chiller? or will gravity be good enough? My boil kettle is just as low...

    Chill 10 gal batch with counterflow or immersion?

    Trying to decide right now on this issue? Any influence on flavor between CFC and IC? Also, I do live in Phoenix, AZ which makes for warm water temps in the summer... would one or the other chiller option be better considering?
