Hi, all. I am having some trouble with a perlick 525SS faucet I disassembled (it was leaking out the bonnet, so I wanted to check o-rings), and now can't put back together. The lever simply will not fit back into the top hole on the faucet. The lever has 2 ball bearings attached, one small...

When I started kegging (less than 1 year ago), I bought a system from keg connection (very happy with them, this is not a thread to ***** about them in any way). Since 4 keg set-ups don't come cheap, I opted not to upgrade to the Perlick faucets at the time of the purchase, figuring I'd get...

I recently ordered a bunch of varied lovibond crystal malts, and decided it would be fun to do a brown ale featuring a little bit of each of them. I will be running this beer tonight, the following is my grain bill, haven't decided on a hop schedule yet, likely gonna use saaz, though. 7 lb...

OK, so soon I hope to have my keezer ready to go. I've got 4 kegs that have been primed (with a shot of gas added to pressurize the kegs at kegging time) and conditioning now for almost the full 3 weeks, and I'm starting to get a little anxious about the actual hooking them up. I figure they...

... we got 6-12 inches of snow coming on Friday. And I still have a fair amount of snow on the ground... i remember reading hop rhizomes could be stored in the basement until the ground was ready to plant. Anyone have any suggestions for keeping them safe and viable?

I'm trying it... tonight. I got 8 gallons of fresh sap yesterday from a friend, and I'm brewing tonight. My grain bill: 7 lbs 2 row 1/2 lb 2 row, toasted at 350 for 15 min. 4 oz 60L crystal I'm trying to accent the "woodsiness" aspect, thus keeping crystal low, but present to give a...

I'm brewing a dry stout tonight, and my lhbs didn't have any flaked barley, so I decided to go with rye instead. My grain bill thus far: 8 lbs pale malt 10 oz chocolate malt 9 oz debittered black malt (yes, I know these last two are weird amounts, but I'm also kind of using up stuff I have...

OK, I'm all on board for the "who needs a secondary, unless you want to dry hop or add fruit etc" approach. After all, one less step is one less step, and anything that makes life easier is good by me. But I have been wondering...why do you have to rack to secondary to dry hop? Is there a...

Just to prove that there are more than 3 female brewers in the world, I'd like to give a shout out to all the ladies out there...

Anyone have a recommendation on a good bottle of German lager from which I can culture yeast. I've developed a reluctance to actually BUY yeast if I can just buy a beer, and get the yeast out of the deal as well. So, any suggestions?

I'm starting my maple chipotle ale - all grain - tonight. It was originally going to be an attempt to clone rogue chipotle ale (which I realize is not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it), then I decided to go all Vermonty on it and add maple syrup. I'm thinking I'll start with a lowish...

Hi! I'm rejoining the homebrewing community after about a 4 year maternity leave... did a couple batches of all grain in the past couple of weeks, a pilsner and a .. .um... something ale-like. Looking forward to chatting with you all, and especially getting ideas for my new endeavor which will...
