Gang, I recently moved to an apartment for a brief stay and I don't have access to a hose bib for my wort chiller. I plan to use my kitchen sink but don't know what faucet adapter I need.Can anyone make a recommendation?

Absolutely genius. Perfect thank you . What else did you do to your kegerator to convert it? Any other tips? I could use a drip tray.

Just upgraded my diy kegerator from having to open to door and poor with a picnic tap. Bought a stainless shank and perlick faucet. Have it drilled and installed but I can't get the kicking nut right enough so the faucet doesn't rotate. The door is just foam so if unreality crank the nut it just...

Do you think I can do a 10 gallon batch of this in a 10 gallon igloo water cooler?

Yes sir. I'd rather not try my luck cutting a whole in the top. Seems you get better performance with door mounted taps as all the lines are in the fridge and you aren't adding any more volume to cool. I just wondered what length shank people are running. I'll try to take a measurement tonight...

Guys I just made a kegerator Out of a frigidaire 4.4 . 2 kegs. Haven't decided what tap handle. I wanted to go cheap and put the tap through the door instead of the tower. Any cons to this? How long of a shank is typical to go through a mini fridge door?

How will amarillo as the aroma hops work in this. My LHBS was out of Cascade but they did have centenniel as the bittering hops.

So I am going to brew this AGAIN but this time I plan to do a 10 gallon batch. The problem is I only have an 8 gallon kettle and about a 12 gallon kettle. Is it ok to fill one of the the kettles out of the mash tun and then the second kettle until I hit the pre-boil volume? Then boil them...

This is an outstanding summer quaffer. I'm new to brewing and I personally prefer bitter beers , sadly my BMC drinker friends haven't been impressed. This was my first batch that they enjoyed. Drained a keg in about 2 hours. Will brew again . Thanks! Did only about 11 days primary and straight...

Looks like you got a good boil there. I'd say that's sufficient

Place probe on youngest beer it'll generate the most heat

Can I use flaked rice from my LHBS instead of instant rice? I bought a pound for this recipe and the stuff looks like rice crispy cereal

I plan to attempt the burst carbonation method . Should I cold crash in keezer , hook up to co2 and pour off the yeast sludge before I carbonate? Just give the keg pouring pressure. I was planning to chill in keezer. Burst carb the beer and let it sit a day to settle and then pour off the...

I assembled a kegging system but I have some questions. I'll be force carbing and not bottle conditioning but if I rack to keg from secondary at my fermentation temps ... Once the beer cools in my kegerator won't here be yeast sludge on the bottom right by the output tube in the keg? Seems the...
