    Ball lock faucet adapter needed

    I picked up a Pera flow control faucet kit from amazon and they failed to include the adapter to go between the ball lock and the flow control faucet. Anyone have a link? Looking for one that threads to the shank, not to the faucet due to the design of the flow control.

    Beer gas options?

    So, I want to do Cold Brew Coffee in the hot months, and I'd like to consider a nitro stout/porter or some such in the winter. I'm told that for coffee I should run straight nitro. Is my only realistic option to purge the bottle when I switch from straight nitro to beer gas? Looks like all the...

    Pressure for a Quad?

    I've got a Belgian Quad on tap. It taps "ok" but seems like all the head is very initial, and then the beer is mostly flat. Would a pressure change help? Increase or decrease? or is this a head retention-fix-the-recipe thing? It's been on tap for a month, so even at ambient pressure, I should...

    Beverage-Air 50 too loud

    My wife is not a fan of the cool cycle noise level (external fan) volume of our new (used) Beverage Air 50 double door kegerator. Anyone have suggestions for reducing the volume? Our home is a modest ranch, and the room it's in will be nicer to use with a more tolerable noise output. It's free...

    Champagne corker endorsement

    Used my corker (blue floor corker with brass iris) for the first time to bottle a mead In wine bottles with straight corks and a quad in cork and cage. The wine bottle is cake and the cork and cage was easy as well. Makes cork and cage bottling a process nearly as easy as capping. Add a #3...
