    5/16" vs. 7/16" outer diameter keg lines

    My LHBS sells 3/16" ID, 5/16" OD, beer lines. I ordered some more from morebeer and it came as 7/16" OD. I've found alot of discussion around ID around here, but not much about OD. My preference is for the 5/16" as its so much smaller snd easier to work with, but I don't want to mess up anything...

    Can I test my regulator under water?

    I bought two taprite regulator sets with 3 regulators each for a 6 regulator setup. I've combined the two sets, but I have a VERY slow leak, with the regulator valves all shut and the regulator valve from my tank shut off I'm losing less than 1 psi in the regulators per hour. Over 12 hours today...

    Baby Barleywine

    So since I started homebrewing 5 years I've always wanted to do a Barleywine, but I decided that I was going to do it only when I knew my wife was pregnant, and I would let it age for the duration of the pregnancy, and drink it as a celebration beer. Fast forward to yesterday when we received...

    Using weight instead of volume for calibrating sight glass

    So I'm a little anal when it come to calibrating my new sight glass, and I want it to be as close to perfect as is possible. I have a high accuracy scale and my plan is to weight out 1/2 gallon at a time as opposed to measuring it by volume. I have an 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup so I can measure...

    Whats your efficiency?

    I've been getting what I assume are low efficiencys, but thought, hey maybe with my setup, that's not so bad. So I want to get an idea of what other people are hitting. I know alot is dependent on the brewer but I'm just curious what people are getting with different types of equipment, and...

    Brewzor Quitting?

    Anyone know if Brewzor for Android is still under development? I know a couple of months ago he had a blog post on brewzor.com saying he had just moved and was working on a new version. I just reinstalled brewzor on my phone to see if anything had changed, and when I tried to download the...

    MLT too big?

    I'm putting together my all grain setup and I'm all ready to do my first batch tomorrow. I used a Coleman Xtreme cooler that I already had left over from a camping trip its a great cooler in good shape. I'm worried however that since its SO big, the grain bed won't be deep enough. I'm using nine...

    Getting motor oil out of a keg

    I had a buddy cut up my keg last night and we used a step bit to cut the valve hole. I wasn't really paying attention when he started cutting and before I knew it he had dumped about a cup of 5W-30 into my new keg. He insisted that it's no different from cutting oil. When I got it home I...

    Art Themed Beers

    Just wanted to show off these labels because of how awesome they turned out. We entered a local home brew competition at an art museum so we went with an art theme. Cap'n Hoppy's was one of the winners.

    My very first "Should I pitch it Thread"

    Just kidding, I've read enough on here to know not to pitch it, but we just made our first big mistake today, and I'm curious to know what you guys think will be the result. My buddy wanted to make an American Amber Ale. Being inexperienced, I just asked him for the ingredients list and...

    Excessive Foam with Kegged Wheat Beer

    I'm new to homebrewing, but I've been using my kegerator with commercial kegs for a long time. This wheat beer is my second keg of homebrew (first was a Kolsch with no problems) I'm getting an absolute absurd amount of foam with this beer. I read that a wheat beer should have around 3.5 volumes...

    New in Ohio

    Hello everyone, got a homebrewing kit from Midwest Supplies for Christmas. My parents bought all the men in my family the same kit with the challenge that we have to bring a case of beer to our summer vacation to the beach for a little family competition. I've been wanting to get into...
