A buddy of mine picked up a used kegerator, True TDD-3, but we're confused on the temperature settings. I see online in a manual that it says for to put the dial on 4 to achieve approximately 35*, but i'm not entirely sure what the '4' should be pointing towards. Looking very closely, the...

Pictures upon request 7 pin-lock style Cornelius kegs (corny) - $40 each (SOLD) *two have new seals and are currently stored under pressure. The rest will need new o-rings. 10 Gallon mash tun with ball valve and stainless steel braid (assembled but never used) - $50 (SOLD) * cooler alone was...

My buddy bought a bar and the plan is to wall off a corner of it and create some sort of inviting entrance within the bar that would draw people into a newly created bottle-shop of sorts. (I envision it almost like a walk in humidor inside of a cigar shop). We've all seen the local "Beer...

So a buddy bought a dive bar with 5 beers on tap. All of the kegs are in one fridge under the bar and have 3 towers coming up through the bar. (two doubles and a single) There is one CO2 tank which goes from the tank, which is stored outside of the fridge, which goes into the fridge, then to a...

like all homebrewers, my long term goal is to convert to all-grain. That said, I'm starting to gather the equipment required. I will be asking for a round 10 gallon cooler to conver to an MLT for x-mas, and I have an old keg that I plan on converting to a keggle. I only plan on doing 5...

I have a Rabbit wine opener and it came with the drip-stop ring, wax remover, foil cutter, and a spare auger/worm/corkscrew. I can not find anything online as to why this would ever need to be replaced? I have opened probably 200 bottles of wine with this opener and have never bent or broken...

I did a search and found a couple of old threads from 2008. Rather than bumping those, I figured i'd copy/paste this Two-Hearted clone and allow for critique: The recipe shows a 5 gallon batch using: Ingredients: 10 lbs Maris Otter Malt 2 lbs Vienna Malt 1/2 lb Crystal Malt (20L)...

A buddy of mine just bought a bar and I found 7 old, nasty coke kegs in the basement. He was going to send them to the scrap yard, so I took them home to clean. They all apear to be in decent shape, and cleaned up pretty well. I have taken them all apart and have the lids, posts, and dip...

I'm not sure if this should be posted here, or in Equiment/Sanitation, so please move if necessary: My buddy just bought a bar, and as (my) luck would have it, there are 7 old cornies in the basement. They are Coke (pin lock, i believe) products, and appear to have never been used. I...

So I made this recipe: http://***********/component/resource/article/1183-new-belgiums-fat-tire-clone However, I used Dark DME instead of Extra Light DME. I just bottled it today and am excited for it to be carbed, but i'm curious what category this beer will be under... If the Fat...

So I have tried to search, but everything seems to involve more complex setups and ball lock couplers. For the time being, i bottle my beer, but i have a kegerator for commercial beers (just an old fridge with a tap on the door). I just tapped a 1/2 of Labatt last week for our halloween...

My wife and I will be driving to Metuchen, NJ (near woodbridge) in Mid Oct. for a wedding. Leaving from Pgh, our options are the Turnpike or I80. The turnpike goes through some good brewery areas, but also costs at least $15 each way in tolls. I80 would only add about 20 minutes to the trip...

I will be headed to Deep Creek Lake in Maryland for a Family vacation soon and I'm just wondering if there are any local places (breweries/bars) worth checking out... Thanks

I posted this in the 'extra hard lemonade' thread yesterday, but haven't had any feedback yet: I made some hard lemonade on 4/30. My OG was 1.122. It was in the primary for 3 weeks, then I transferred it to a carboy. At that point, my FG was showing around 1.095. The bubbles had stopped, so I...

Unforunately, I dont have the extra space/bucket to keep 5 gallons of Starsan around, nor do i brew frequently enough to justify mixing such a large batch, so i'm wondering how people sanitize longer items like their spoons/wine theif. When you check the gravity for consecutive days, it...

I have made a few batches of extract beer kits, and it seems that over on the beer forums, the general consesus is that a long primary is just as good as racking it to a secondary, unless you're dry-hopping or something... SWMBO wanted to give wine a try, so we bought a box-kit of...

Remodelling my basement (sadly not into a brew pub like some of you lucky bastards) has put the brewing on hold for the past couple of months. Now that it's nearing completion i plan to get the pipline going again and want to avoid bottling at all costs (well, at least a minimal costs)...

In response to the "Funny BMC & now Y people..." thread where Humann Brewing said that the only beer his FIL will drink is coors light/keystone light: Background: There is/was a local brewery in Pittsburgh called Pittsburgh Brewing Company. Their flagship beer is 'Iron City', and their...

Pretty straight forward - what does your avatar mean? I know some are just a brewery logo, or a picture of a dog or something, but i see a bunch that are just of a person? Is that your picture? Someone famous that I should recognize? I can't decide what to make my avatar, so i guess i'm...

So my wife and I live in Pittsburgh, but she has some friends out near the Philadelphia area that she hasn't seen much since college. She wants to go visit them next month, and since i'm not eactly thrilled at the idea of driving across the state just to say hello, we've compromised to turn...
