New 1 gallon milkstone/beerstone remover, used to remove calcium oxalate deposites on beer making equipment like carboys. I had to by 4 gallons at a time but only need 1 for now. Works great. Located in Morris County NJ. https://www.truevalue.com/product/sterosol-milkstone-remover-acid-rinse-1-gal/

Ace Hardware sells it for $20.99 with tax it's about $22.50. I called Tractor Supply and nobody mentioned special ordering it. I'm going to try to sell some of it.

I got 4 gallons of Sterosol Milkstone Remover and Acid Rinse from my local ACE Hardware today, link here: https://www.truevalue.com/product/sterosol-milkstone-remover-acid-rinse-1-gal/ They had to special order it, but it was only $90 for 4 gallons, I had to buy four. The directions were meant...

The plug that plugs into my heating element would melt occasionaly even though I would clean the contacts of the heating element after each use. I haven't had an issure once since using this: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/conductivecompoundkit1ml.htm

I am going to paint all of the apron except for the bottom. I will use sealer as a "glue" for the bottom.

I came across this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/painting-a-keezer.273902/ and started to be concered that the seal would ineract with the paint. Thanks

I'd rather paint my apron for my keezer than stain. I just realized I not should use an outdoor latex paint I already have. I have read that appliance paint can be used. If I would go that route would I need some sort of primer? Is there another alternative? I may decide to go with a stain and...

I bought a Midea chest freezer for a keezer. It has both a freezer and refridger mode. It seems like I can fairly actuatly sent the temperature. Should I get a temperature controller anyway? Also, is there a minimum amout of space between the top of the highest keg and the lid? And is a fan...

It seems like I need this: https://www.williamsbrewing.com/Home-Brewing-Equipment/Kegging-Equipment/Keg-Parts/Keg-Interior-Parts/Tapered-Plastic-Gas-Dip-Tube Along with the D67 Dip Tube Sealing O ring. My dip tube is reddish but is has a collar below the flange and so does mine. Thanks

I have a Firestone Spartanburg VI keg with an odd CO2 dip tube. The dip tube I have is on it's last legs. I was wondering if this plastic dip tube needs a o-ring. Also I was wondering why you even need a CO2 dip tube. Thanks.

I just got a Firestone keg. My dip tube has a smaller o-ring than a normal corny keg. If I did the precedure in this link would I use the smaller o-ring or a normal sized o-ring. It doesn't seem like the normal sized o-ring fits into the keg post.. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

I thought I saw a poll on this forum rating conry kegs by different manfacturers. Does anyone know where it is? I was thinking about buying some used Old Ale kegs. Are these OK and what whould you expect to pay? Whould you rather have an orginal Cornelius keg in good shape. Also has anyone...

I only have used sugar to carbonate my bottled beer. I used to used corn sugar but swithced to table sugar and didn't notice a difference exept for price.

They both say they are distilled but say nothing about isomerized. Is there a way to convert a recipe to use hop oil instead? Thanks
