    Can you bypass a propane timer?

    I have a turkey fryer with a timer on it. I drilled a hole in the knob and wired it to the wound up position with a piece of wire. Works great lasts a long time.

    Chugger Pump Stainless Steel Head

    I got my Chugger pump a few days ago. I decided to test it. I have never used a pump before and I do not have a fancy brew stand yet, so I set up my brew keggle on my turkey burner and hooked up the pump with the 1/2” inch fittings I have on hand. The pump was about 1.5 feet below the...

    fliptops good? or no good?

    I have a case of EZ Cap swingtops (32 oz) and I have never had a problem with them. I bought these back in 2004 and I'm still using the original gaskets. I use these for every batch I bottle if some are empty. They are a good investment.

Your cider is taking the route of least resistance through the airlock. I use one of those orange caps every time...

    New Weston grain mill smells like diesel fuel

    Samuel Smiths Organic Strawberry Ale

    I drank a bottle of this beer several weeks ago at bar during a night on the town. I already had several beers before I got to it. It tasted fine to start. Lots of strawberry flavor, but the taste got old half way through. If I bought this again, I would share the bottle with friends...
