How about hot glue! That has worked on so many things for me. And it stays a bit pliable.

I say screw it all as it is sometimes better to ask forgiveness rather than permission, Relax and drink a home brew. I think your buddy needs a new hobby, like home brewing!

I have read that leaving in primary too long will cause acidic flavors from spent yeast. "Joy of Homebrewing" to be specific recommends no more than 2 weeks in primary. I have found transferring to secondary clears brew up nicely. Am I doing something wrong and missing out on something? Love the...

Hi everyone, OK So in past I have pretty much consumed what I have brewed in pretty short order as I wasn't brewing a lot. Well I got on this kick this winter to brew every weekend, sometimes 2 batches per weekend. And I have been building a kegorator w/glycol chiller etc which has taken some...

Hello all and thanks for your replies, Yes the reason my brew season will end is due to the daily temps exceeding 80f and killing fermentation success. This week has even been tough although I have carboy's in basement, but once summer comes then even there won't be safe until I build my...

Hello All, I have gained much knowledge reviewing posts on this site. I have found it to be a great resource for just about anything Homebrew related and then some, So when they announced the membership drive I thought it only fair to pony up and pay the reduced rate of $19.99 for the year. Even...

Had to get one of these deals, Girlfriend was tired of me stealing dishwasher racks!, Note the glycol cooler in background. Green pail has 35' of 3/8" copper tube coiled in it. will fill it with water and store in freezer to guarantee 32f glycol temp to cool tap & lines.

Micro-Matic 2 product tap with Koolrite glycol cooling module NSF certified. With Perlick 425 SS faucets. Good Clean, Cold BEER!

What styles of beer are you kegging dmfa?, I have read that the reason Belgian ales are typically not available on tap is because they always bottle condition to improve flavor of beer, apparently the smaller area in a bottle allows the yeast to impart a fuller flavor during conditioning...

Hello All, I'll thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide. OK here is my concern, I'm an extract brewer and love brewing the Belgian ales, Abbys & Trappists. And I have only bottled it in past with exceptional results. I am setting up a home keg system and am going full tilt...

Hello all, new to the site. Brewed a batch for first time 4 years ago and then moved. Packed all the gear and kinda got distracted with new house and all. My Sweet heart got me restarted by buying me a Belgian Ale kit for Christmas that I just brewed last Sunday. I brushed up by spot reading...
