I was getting ready to post a link to that. I found it and have spent about an hour going through it, good stuff. I thought I had better check and see if it had already been posted. I should have known Day Tripper would have beat me to it by a few years. I didn't find it here but I am glad I...

Quat based cleaners are plentiful, particularly in professional kitchens. Homebrewers are told to avoid them becase they will make your beer taste like cardboard and have no head. I was doing some research on how to get glasses "beer clean" and found the SDS for Last Call Beer Glass Sanitizer...

I know this thread has been dead a while but does anyone have a source for the all in one kit that gives you a paintball tank, some hoses and a regulator? It is like for 6 months 10 years or so ago they were everywhere and now they don't exist. That usually implies that somthing didn't work but...

Yet another question. One of the jockey boxes has 3/16" I.D. hose going to the taps. That comes to 4.76 mm. My 2 choices are 4.5 and 5mm, Is it better to be too big or too loose with this stuff. Likewise the other lines (and presumably fittings) are 5/16", the biggest EVA Barrier comes to...

Guess I will have to get out the calipers and see what ID they are. One has a bunch of stainless coil. I can't help but believe that will slow the liquid down some. The other one, the 2 tap has a cold plate. The lines coming from the cold plate looked pretty small, I am thinking they are 4x8 mm...

One more question is EVA Barrier that much different than this stuff? Sioux Chief 3/8" OD x 1/4" ID x 25' Polyethylene Tubing Never mind the size it comes in many different sizes. It claims to be FDA rated food safe. Any thoughts?

Looks like William's has it back in stock so I can order (hopefully) the last thing I need to set up a keg and refurbish my jockey boxes. For my keg set up I will be going from a 2.5 gallon Corny to a disconnect-to an adapter - to a 690SS Flow Control Perlick faucet. The faucet will be inside...

Has anyone tried these? US Standard Faucet Flow Control Valve No idea what they are made off, probably chrome plated Chineseium. It would give you flow control with whatever faucet you want and the ability to use a return spring and still have flow control. BTW anyone know if you can use return...

Sorry for hijacking your post but I'm having similar problems.

Can you tell me what "notty" is? I have tried bread yeast, champagne yeast and distillers yeast. I start by adding petic enzyme and then wait an hour then add Yeast Nutrient and yeast. My end result no matter what the yeast is very dry, hardly any apple flavor. I haven't been adding sugar to the...

I am surprised that several of you have got orange wine to turn out ok. Night Train is orange wine and it is vile. This is coming from a man who will drink Wild Irish Rose and likes Boone's Farm so I'm no wine snob. There is a home brew channel on YouTube featuring this old timer that looks...

I know others have posted DIY tap handles that they made from stuff from a lumber yard. These were pre fab. All I had to do was thread them on. Tap Handle one. I call it "The Lawn Mower Starter" Here is what it looks like installed: Tap Handle #2 "The Ball" I am using it right now. #1 is $3...

I have a similar set from Menards that were either cheap or free after rebate. Very handy for changing gaskets. Unfortunately I got carried away when I bought my first keg. I took all the gaskets off. Had a little trouble with 2 of them. Then I got looking at the replacement gasket set and...

FWIW I lubed the faucet ever so slightly and put it back together. You can operate it with your pinky and the spring loaded return functions again. I am glad it uses a standard size faucet. It this turns out to be too fizzy I could always slap a flow control faucet on it. I wish I knew if the...

I got the tap apart. I took #9 off and then drove #8 out. Nothing looks bent & there are no metal chips anyplace. I will probably hit all the rubber and the front of #8 with a little keg lube when I put it back together. Looking at this design I am surprised these don't leak out the front.

It is a plain old cheap Chinese rear sealing tap. Even after I remove parts 1-5 part #8 attached to #9 will not come out. It will barely move when the tap is assembled. https://www.kegoutlet.com/prod_images/xlarge/FA70105.jpg It functioned fine for a while. If you want to talk over designed...

I bought one of these from a person locally: https://www.amazon.com/Nostalgia-CBG64-HomeCrraft-growler-64-Ounce/dp/B074RF71TL It was still sealed in the box. I opened it up, put it together and messed around with it a little. The tap is spring loaded to shut off automatically. When I first put...

FWIW I am drinking cider I made with Red Star DADY. Taste fine. I will have to try fermenting a sugar wash with it and see if I get any off flavors. The cider has the apple flavor to cover off flavors. The sugar wash wont. If the batch with the DADY turns out bad I will try it with champagne...

BTW if all you can get is bread yeast it will work. It takes longer to settle to the bottom. My current set up is I take container of store bought juice, pour some off in to another container, add pectic enzyme and let it set an hour. Then I come back and add yeast and yeast nutrient. I put...

I have a question about the sugar wash. I have some Red Star DADY, seems like that would be the ideal thing. Looks like it will go to 15% How do I figure out ho much sugar I need to make that happen? Is there a calculator someplace?
