Just got mine :) I'll be using it tonight. I'll post a review after I try it.

Just ordered one :rockin:

So I'm new to kegging and I've had some issues with the plastic hose faucet that came with my kit. Everytime I dispense the beer a little bit of beer continues to dribble out the plastic facuet. I usually just wait till it's done dribbling or I quickly push the lever to the other side to get...

Long time NorthernBrewer fan. Just started using Austin's and I really like them. I like how how the grains are already packaged in the muslin bags ready to go. Midwest has great kits as well....but as already mentioned the shipping is bit high. For the people who have used Brew Masters....do...

I know over here in the Seattle area we can't get enough!! My wife and I regularly buy 60 and 90 minute.

Quick question Boggy....did you use a yeast starter for this brew? I only ask because my third batch I ever made was a double IPA and I only pitched one wyeast pack. It fermented like crazy but never carbonated in the bottles. Even after 3 years (finally dumped).

thanks for the responses guys.....I think it's used to tighten up the hose to the barbed outlet nipple from the regulator. The other end of the gas line is just....a hose. Every other kit I've seen comes with a swivel nut on the other site to connect to the regulator. The butterfly thing must...

Hey guys, finally bit the bullet and got a kegging system from my LHB. When looking at the gas disconnect hose they included which looks to be a fastner with a swivel tag (the orange thing) on it....it constricts and expands when twisting...it slides freely right now. It can be taken off if...

So I've been successfully brewing extract kits now for the past year and have been loving it. But now I have a problem.....the last three batches haven't turned out as nice. All the beer has a unique sour aftertaste to them. I'm confused as to what's going on....I think my auto siphon hasn't...

LOL...so I'm guessing you guys are saying to pour into a bowl first then proceeed...gotcha! Thanks guys...and happy brewing! :)

Hey guys, quick question on using DME. My wife gave me a early father's day gift of a honey nut brown ale she bought through one of our local brew shops. The kit contains all DME for the recipe. I've used a combination of DME and LME in the past and had a terrible time using the DME. When...

Yep I marked off gallon increments with painters tape so I know where I'm at.

LOL...yeah the kid grows regardless. Unfortunately couldn't get the kid to smile and look at the camera when I was taking the pics this afternoon. I have been reading that many people on here don't use a secondary...the sticky's up top are invaluable. The beer is a pale ale from Midwest...

Well I've been fermenting now going on day 5. I've been storing the primary in the closet under the stairs because it's dark and it stays a steady 69 degrees regardless of where the house temp is at. I pitched the yeast and 8 hours later the airlock started bubling away and now on day 5 the...

gotcha...that was my thoughts as well
