How about hot glue! That has worked on so many things for me. And it stays a bit pliable.

I say screw it all as it is sometimes better to ask forgiveness rather than permission, Relax and drink a home brew. I think your buddy needs a new hobby, like home brewing!

I have read that leaving in primary too long will cause acidic flavors from spent yeast. "Joy of Homebrewing" to be specific recommends no more than 2 weeks in primary. I have found transferring to secondary clears brew up nicely. Am I doing something wrong and missing out on something? Love the...

Thanks for all the feedback, even if some of it is contradictory, And I am really sorry about the double thread, totally my ignorance of site protocol, just looking to get max feedback. I do thank all of you for your experience and help. If ever in NJ, drop me a line and I'll make sure beer is cold.

Hi everyone, OK So in past I have pretty much consumed what I have brewed in pretty short order as I wasn't brewing a lot. Well I got on this kick this winter to brew every weekend, sometimes 2 batches per weekend. And I have been building a kegorator w/glycol chiller etc which has taken some...

Final piece of homemade Kegorator project. Micromatic trunk line with two 5/16" beer lines and two 3/8" Glycol cooling lines. Awesome stuff. Keg should be pouring within the week.

Hello All, I have gained much knowledge reviewing posts on this site. I have found it to be a great resource for just about anything Homebrew related and then some, So when they announced the membership drive I thought it only fair to pony up and pay the reduced rate of $19.99 for the year. Even...

Had to get one of these deals, Girlfriend was tired of me stealing dishwasher racks!, Note the glycol cooler in background. Green pail has 35' of 3/8" copper tube coiled in it. will fill it with water and store in freezer to guarantee 32f glycol temp to cool tap & lines.

First Belgian Batch of the season. a month later it tastes great!

When it's capped and ready for the long wait is a sigh of relief.

Title says it all, Good beer needs clean bottles, Have since invested in draining tree.

Micro-Matic 2 product tap with Koolrite glycol cooling module NSF certified. With Perlick 425 SS faucets. Good Clean, Cold BEER!
