    BIAB brew stand with hoist and pump

    Looks great. I've been doing something similar for about a year but yours is much nicer. I use an engine lift from Harbor Freight to pull out the basket on my 20 gallon aluminum pot. I lined the inside of the basket with aluminum window screen and used aquarium food safe silicone to hold it...

    55 Gallon Stainless Brewing System- Electrically Heated

    Would you consider freight shipping it? I'm actually interested if total cost is about $1500. I'm in Sioux City, Iowa. Thanks.

    Cooler Box VS Pot & Grain bag

    I disagree- I've been doing 12 gallon batches as Brew in a Bag (BIAB) for a few months now. :) I used the cooler method for about 9 months and it's ok but it's nicer for me with BIAB. It's nice to clean only one vessel and if your temp starts dropping you can bring it back up. It's also easy...

    Edgestar Mini-Regulator?

    Has anyone used the Edgestar mini-regulator with a full sized corny? Its part of a kit used for mini-kegs and is about $50 and found here: TBC50-ACC EdgeStar Mini Keg Beer Dispenser Accessory Kit I want to get a mini charger so I can take kegs without dragging along a big co2 tank. I...

    What's the cost? I looked at the site and couldn't tell.

    Anyone use Midwest's "Kit of the Month"?

    I received the first kit last week- Big Ben Pale Ale. They did add the shipping to that order but it was the first one and I also had a few other items. Since the shipping cost was on checkout I expected to pay it. The bigger question is if they charge you for shipping every month because...

    Replace poppet valve

    You can use a 7/8" wrench- the closed end is 12 points that fit the liquid out posts. I just changed a poppet out yesterday.

    Anyone use Midwest's "Kit of the Month"?

    I just signed up for it last week. I am curious if they add shipping every month. If shipping is included then it seems to be a pretty good deal.

    Is a gas shut-off valve safe to use in beer line?

    I had to find beer line valves too. I wanted to find some that screwed directly onto threaded corny connects. After much searching I found these: REFCO CA 1/4 SAE B 4493525 Blue ball valve for Refrigeration Charging Hoses - New and used sheet metal equipment sales. Des Moines, Iowa, United...

    Screw on Valves for Corny Beer Connects?

    I've been looking for ball lock valves I could screw directly onto my 1/4" liquid disconnects (flared). I could then screw the beer line into the valve without cutting hoses apart. Anyone know where I could find these? I'd really like valves to turn off beer lines without pulling off the whole...

    Would plastic tubing clamps prevent a keg from accidently emptying?

    I've been looking for ball lock valves I could screw directly onto my 1/4" liquid disconnects (flared). I could then screw the beer line into the valve without cutting hoses apart. Anyone know where I could find these?

    faucet locks

    I've thought about that as well. Does anyone know if there are shutoff valves available that screw directly onto corny keg outs? I've looked around and the best I could find was 1/4" shut offs where I'd have to feed the corny keg out a line then to a shutoff and then to another line to the...

    Will the compact fridge work?

    For those of you with the CO2 tank on the inside- does it fit with a double body regulator? Thanks.
