This is what I've been able to find at the hardware store. I'm really not interested in cutting a pipe. I'm sure I can find the right parts to make this work, I just don't know where to look. This is what I've been able to find at the store (at least one potential option). The brass fitting...

Are you talking about cutting the copper pipe and adding another valve? If so, that's what I'm trying to avoid. I'd like to replace the current valve with a valve that has two 'exits'. I can find one of those. The problem I'm having is finding the parts to a.) add a shutoff on the second...

The problem with that method is that I have a sprayer-type head on the sink faucet. I don't believe I could do it that way without taking the whole thing apart.

I have a question regarding hookups for my wort chillers. It's plural because I put a stainless steel chiller in one sink and fill it with ice water. I put the second one (that's copper) in the wort. So water goes into the stainless steel one to chill, then into the copper one to chill the...

The Brulosophy article was very helpful. I guess I need to just figure out what method I want to use. My tendency is to not be very patient. I'm much better about that now.;) So, this is where I'm at now. I racked to the secondary (before I got responses on here. Did I mention I lack...

Awesome, thank you all for the advice. I've only been brewing for about a year and a half. The most frustrating part of it is asking 3 different people the same question and getting 4 different answers. And then read two books and get two more answers. But I'm starting to relax a bit more...

I am finally brewing my first lager and am getting some conflicting advice on how to do it. After I finished brewing and chilled the wort to about 65 degrees, I put it in my second fridge with a temperature controller and got it down to 50 in about two days. I left it there for 12 days, and...

I've gotten a little better with Illustrator. I ended up buying a 1-month subscription and finished a few more labels. I upped my game with the last one. Thoughts?

My pdf label file was too big and I don't wanna spend the time trying to downsize it. But here it is. As I said before, I used a 30-trial of Illustrator. I may play around with some of the suggestions. Earlier today I was complaining to a buddy about the difficulty in getting started on...

I was hoping to get more responses too. I ended up getting a 30-day trial of Adobe Illustrator to complete the first batch of labels. I'm going to be changing some colors but the gist of it is what I want. It was a royal PITA to create at first. But once you figure out the what you want...

Hi everybody, I'm new to the home brewing. As it turns out, I really like it. I've done my third batch and now it's time to make it look more professional. I've read many of the beer label threads and come up with some ideas. My question is what software are guys using for creating the...
