    Long Term Hop Storage Planning / Question

    There's an idea! Would I want to plant them individually (assuming they're different hops)? Would I want to water them or just leave them in some loose / healthy soil? Is it an issue if they sit someplace with little to no sunlight while they're in the temporary pots for a few months?

    Long Term Hop Storage Planning / Question

    I currently have third year hops growing however the backyard they're in right now is not accessible and while I would like to hope they would go unharmed, I can't trust that the current tenant won't damage/remove them. Is there any chance I can pull the rhizome/roots out of the ground say...

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Success! The washer replacements did the trick and stopped all leaks. Thanks everyone for the advice! Cheers

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Going to look into the kit from amazon. I've attached a few more photos as well because I'm not totally sure everything is as it should be

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Would something like this give me the washers I need to replace?

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Is there a small listing of those that I could just buy/try for all of them since they're ~$2.00 each? This is becoming a pain in the ass and all I wanna do is find the easiest solution to get this operable without liquid coming out of several areas.

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    So, I need to get two new O rings to go with my new shank? How do I know what O-rings to buy?

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Ok, I got my new shank and installed it. I resolved the original leak, and created two additional. I resolved the first (new) leak with teflon tape, but the second one is coming out of the tap itself. I've loosened/tightened areas around it, not sure what I can do about this one.

    Thanks Bishop, Ordered the shank, I'll post my results once it arrives and I mess with it!

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Could you explain how this will fix the issue? The tubing looks right but the hardware before it just looks like its going to make things more complicated to connect. My original hardware doesn't match that

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Is my best bet emailing someplace like morebeer/northernbrewer for a modern version? I'm not too experienced with that I would need.. Trying to avoid buying additional parts if they aren't necessary. Thanks for all the advice!

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    *Attaching two additional photos. 1) I don’t think tightening will do anything. As mentioned, the threaded piece is not locked into the pipe, so I’m screwing more into the eraser but the metal tube isn’t progressing forward. 2)This eraser is fitted into the shank, no idea how to replace that. Is...

    Leaking Kegerator system, not sure how to fix.

    Buddy of mine got a kegerator for free and when I connected everything a leak started coming from the small pipe looking piece in the photo. You can see the suds of starsan oozing out, it was mainly coming from the top. When I unthread the brass/bronze fitting its placed into (which the small...

    General Thermometer Inquiry

    I feel like there aren't a whole lot of options on brew sites for different thermometers, specifically those that fit on and attach to kettles for things like mash temp and such. I've purchased a few different kinds but it seems like even through calibration they get thrown off, or a little...

    Brewing on a Balcony

    Yeah, the water isn't really the issue, its more about convenience and being able to grab things, setup/clean up, etc. Also, I have 3 roommates so garage/driveway for several hours would be difficult. This way, if I want to grab a beer from the fridge or need anything its a few steps away as...

    Brewing on a Balcony

    I've recently built an all grain, single tier system with two burners (one on each end) with a center area for a third kettle location (HERMS/Mash Kettle). It stands at about 3'. I thought about brewing in the driveway but the thought of pulling water from the hose/faucet grosses me out, and I...

    I'm trying to get an understanding for keeping grain fresh. How do the dog containers seal? Is there a way to vacuum the air out so that its 100% air tight? How long does grain stay fresh in the dog food containers? :D
