Somthing else I meant to say is apparently before I was drinking my cider fast enough the oxygen didn't hurt anything. I am so used to the the idea from wine that the best thing you can do is just let it set longer. Apparently that's not true with cider at least if you are making it in plastic...

I tasted it, super dry with just a hint of burnt caramel. I went a head and added the AJ concentrate and put some gas in the keg. Hopefully it wont get any worse. I also aged this batch longer be fore it went in the fridge. I was thinking that should be a good thing but when you are using...

OK well if it is either of those it probably isn't going to just evaporate away is it? I will give it a taste and as long as it just taste really dry I will back sweeten it and let it naturally carb. Should I put come co2 in the head space or does the yeast need the oxygen to process the new...

Yeast and just a hint of earthy almost musty smell. It is good and clear and there was no mold. Does anyone else usually off gas their cider or is there no need? I never have before.

I have it closed and a trap connected to the gas port. Will it naturally carb with CO2 in there? I thought yeast needed oxygen. I guess I should taste it, it never tastes good before I sweeten it but I know what it should taste like.

Hello. I am a super green newb at homebrewing, been at this cider making about 6 months. My usual routine is to add yeast, nutrient and clarifier enzyme to a container of store bought juice, let it set until it quits bubbling and or gets a specific gravity of one or less. I would then cold...

Hello, my homebrewing odyssey continues. I make cider using store bought apple juice and DADY. It works fine and I haven't had any problems but so far I have just been brewing in the bottles the apple juice comes in. Currently I have a bunch of cider in the jugs the apple juice came in. It has...

So in my case get it out of the fridge and let it age some more? I will have to sweeten it with somthing if I want it to carbonate. I think I will hit it with concentrated apple juice,

SOLD PLEASE DELETE You may have noticed me asking how to tell the difference between plated brass and stainless Perlick taps? This is why. Tapper It is a smoking deal but shipping is just going to be too much for me. Granted I was just buying it for the taps. If you need the tower and the...

I am trying to make EDWORT’S APFELWEIN for the first time. I followed this recipe EdWort's Apfelwein I let it ferment for about 2 months, I have cold crashed and racked and re-racked it. It taste like burnt coffee. Does anyone back sweeten this or do you just put in enough sugar to make it...

Consider it a practice run. Hopefully everything goes that much smoother on the next build with the new freezer. Much like cars that "ran when parked" often develop mysterious problems it seems appliances aren't happy when they are just setting. BTW we love keezer/ kegerator pics!

I assume this is one case where stainless or plates really wont make a difference? The nut should hold the tailpiece against the gasket and the shank. I don't see how the beer would actually touch it. I know what 7/8 14 is. What does bspp stand for?

This reminds me I keep watching my local farm supply store to see if they ever put their store brand brake parts cleaner on sale again. Is is carbon tet and co2. That stuff makes a great gun cleaner and when you find it on sale the store brand stuff is WAY cheaper than any cleaner with the word...

These guys list 2 different sizes. What is the standard size that fits on faucet shanks and couplers coming out of jockey boxes? Or are their multiple sizes for this "standard"? Nuts For Beer, Wine, Ale, Aren't We All?

I'm planning to copy some other gentleman's rig. 2.5 gallon keg in the fridge with a Perlick 690 hooked to the keg. My beer line will consist of a disconnect, an adapter and a faucet. Should not be too hard to clean and with it being refrigerated I am hoping it wont need cleaned all that often...

Thank you! Also thanks for this note on the 2" shank " Due to the way the standard measurements are made, this shank can accommodate a wall thickness of .5". " That gives me somthing to work with. I will measure the wall of the cooler and go from there.

Glad to know the Intertap springs will work with Perlicks. I have one flow control faucet a Perlick 690SS. I haven't used it yet but I have it mounted to one of those adapters that fits on to a disconnect. It fits fine and even has enough room for the creamer action to work (I can push the lever...

I have a Perlick SS faucet and it is shiny as all get out. Looks like chrome. Only numbers I have been able to get were patent numbers. There are 500 series Perlicks. I have been trying to get a pic of the inside of the faucet but no luck so far.

One more thing, this particular company has a very attractive model they use for a lot of their pictures. No complaints from me. Everything is tastefully done...at least that's what I thought until I went looking for parts for Corny kegs. I have so many questions. Are they drowning tiny women...

Thank you. That is what I thought. This is what I am looking at 2-1/8"x1/4" Bore All Stainless Beer Faucet Shank with nut 304SS Krome C212 I can't see any reason it would not work with a Perlick tap. One other question I had that they did not answer is how thick of material can you mount this...
