Churchkey is a fantastic beer place on 14th near Logan circle -- well worth the drive (or better yet, metro it and get sloppy) from Germantown. Their website appears to be down for the moment, but you can find info & beer list at www.churchkeydc.com

+1 to thermapen, fantastic product. just make sure you order the bright pink one :P

haha, i think we now know the real reason that orders from AHS have been taking longer than normal to ship -- they're not backlogged from the anniversary sale, they're using our boxes as a sketch paper! love it. well played AHS, well played.

I got this one a few weeks back to convert my 10g HD rubbermaid: http://www.bargainfittings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=47&product_id=85 the 1.5" standard nipple is a perfect fit.

yes you can do that, if you replace the word 'bucket' with 'cornelius keg.' those bad boys are rated up to 150psi (IIRC), bottling buckets not so much...my guess is that the pressure would pop the lid off your bucket, all that co2 that your yeasties worked so hard to create will escape, and...

you're disconnecting the gas to force carb? admittedly i'm a novice when it comes to kegging, but perhaps after that initial 30psi of gas is absorbed into the liquid the remaining pressure isn't enough to keep a tight seal on the lid?

this thread is absolute gold, i have the names for my next three brews. i've always thought the space pope would look good as a label.

thanks to pericles for this build, i just finished it up earlier tonight and put my very first keg ever on tap. it was indeed straight forward, and someone with little mechanical talent (me) can easily do it. i covered the front door with chalkboard paint, so i can write what's in each tap (see...

impossible for some, though not all. i can get 7.5g to a pretty great rolling boil on my GE gas range (forget the number, but it's got the powerboil feature on the front-right burner). it completely depends on your stove. can you get your hands on a friend's large pot and try to bring 6.5g of...

wait isn't irish moss made from irish people? not very veg-friendly, IMHO... :D

yes churchkey churchKEY CHURCHKEY! hope you enjoy it. and yeah, it might be crowded with furloughed gov't workers, who have little better to do than drink their worries away. also, a bunch of area pubs/bars are running shutdown specials: http://www.rollcall.com/news/shutdown_drink_up-204749-1.html

+1 for Bamberg. Pretty cheap hotels from what I remember, and you can easily do a day-trip down to Munich on the train.

what a terrible guess, it's obviously Luxembourg :D

I've never had need to build a copper manifold with my setup (10g Rubbermaid, Flyguy's build and same SS hose as you MikeinCT). After a nasty stuck drain on my first AG I found that opening the drain slowly (like, painfully slowly) allows the grain bed to set and eventually I can make my way...

Thanks Hammy! Freshest hops it is, I'll raise a pint to you when this brew is done!

I have a recipe that calls for half an ounce of Kent Goldings hops at flameout. Going through my beautiful big box 'o hops I found that I've got 2 different packs of KG, but with quite different alpha acid percentages -- 4.5% and 7.2%. Any insight out there as to what effect using one over...

pstrohs -- fortunately I can wait. They shipped it *way* faster than I expected (that's one of those good problems), and the brew I plan to keg is still in the midst of fermenting. I know I can get them at a hardware store, though it's not exactly local for me -- $5 in subway fare plus the cost...

Thanks for confirming what I suspected Garrett. Just sent them an email, and given their previous responsiveness and glowing track record here on HBT I'm pretty confident that they'll correct the oversight. DeafSmith -- My liquid lines have clamps on both ends, though they're shanks/faucets and...

Hi all, So my kegging kit from kegconnection.com arrived today (:ban:), and after looking over all the components I'm a little worried that they forgot something in assembly. Specifically, the gas lines coming off the air manifold don't have hose clamps, and can be pulled off with very little...

thanks for the quick replies gents. i was leaning toward the 2" one, figuring the magnets would line us best with that size -- so it's good to hear some confirmation of my speculation...
