    Do Perlick taps require special shanks?

    I had some questions about these shanks so I asked the seller. They did not answer all my questions but one answer surprised me. Shanks in question. I wanted to know how thick of item you could mount the shanks in. The seller did not answer that but they answered one other question. "Will...

    apparently action news today, the house behind me is burning down....

    I feel for anyone who has their house burn. It happened to me and through an interesting set of circumstances the insurance company was able to give me the Willy Wonka treatment. Except they weren't particularly upset by it.

    Floating dip tube questions.

    First off I apologize if I am putting this in the wrong place. I wasn't sure if it should go here or in the cider forum. By that last line you probably figured out I make cider. As of now I make it in the container the apple juice comes in. Once it is fermented I cold crash it, rack it, cold...

    apparently action news today, the house behind me is burning down....

    They make a lot of heat. House next to my parents house burnt and the heat messed up their paint and shingles. It took a while to show up and once it did it was too late for an insurance claim.

    Setting up a brand new keg and faucet

    The last parts I am waiting for (hopefully) should get here tomorrow. So if The Good Lord is willin' and the creek don't rise I should be able to set up my keg tomorrow. Everything is brand new. Can I just set it up and pump some sanitizer through it? Or would it be better to take the keg and...

    How do I be a bad neighbor, without actually being a bad neighbor??

    You watch they will "rescue" (buy at a shelter) some giant, angry dog they can't handle. If I read this right he came on your property and threw your log in the ally becase he didn't like it on your fence. Without making a threat (that is illegal) he needs to know in no uncertain terms he is to...

    Source for stainless pass through shank?

    I am replacing a corroded chrome plated brass pass through on a jockey box. I need beer threads on both sides. One side will connect to a stainless coil, the pass through will pass though the side of the cooler and then I will attach a liquid line on the other side. If I got new fittings I bet I...

    Vintage tap types.

    One more I meant to share. No worrying when the chrome will wear off and your beer taste funny. It taste like brass from day 1! At least you are not drinking chrome this way. I like the hook for the bucket on the front.

    Vintage tap types.

    I was binge watching some old beer commercials the other day and I started paying attention to the taps. I would say 95% of them were your standard "Perlick Style" rear sealers. There was another type I saw a few times. This style showed up in a few Schlitz ads Tap Right Forward sealer...

    Source for stainless pass through shank?

    Thanks! Where did you buy your Eva Barrier? Williams has it and Brew Hardware shows the 5mm in 13 foot lengths and the 4 mm in 5.5 foot lengths. My plan is to buy a roll of the 5mm and the 6.5mm. I wish I could find one seller who had everything so I only had to pay S&H once but it doesn't look...

    Wort/Beer line cleaners?? What would you recommend?

    Do you just use an air compressor? Any concerns or getting oil in the keg or do you use one of those oil free air compressors?

    How to tell difference between stainless and chrome Perlick forward sealing faucets in a photo?

    I assume chrome plated brass is non magnetic as well. I know bullet brass is nonmagnetic, otherwise range clean up would be MUCH easier. Thanks for the suggestions! I wasn't sure there were any markings on the outside other than "P".

    How to tell difference between stainless and chrome Perlick forward sealing faucets in a photo?

    Is there a way to tell the difference between chrome plated and stainless steel Perlick forward sealing faucets in a photo? Are they marked stainless? Is there a model number on the out side? They are attached to a tower so I can't see in them. I doubt the seller has a faucet wrench so I don't...

    Used corny that had pesticides?

    Can you find out what pesticides? Some are pretty benign while others are every dangerous. Like it or not tanker trucks and railroad cars will carry pesticides one day and apple juice the next so this sort of thing isn't unheard of.
