Depending on where you are you can normally find it at a grocery store, or a kitchen store. I saw it at WIlliams Sonoma the other day. Even with their over-pricing it was like 3 or 4 bucks. I would expect Bed Bath and Beyond or similar places to have it as well

and you are correct about the times- After the boil is when you really want everything to be sanitized that will touch the beer. Before the boil, and during, it just needs to be clean (no matter deposited on it, etc) although sanitizing isnt that hard so I do it anyway

Don't fear the foam! It is totally safe to bottle, etc with foam still there. It won't hurt the beer or make any difference to the taste, etc. Rinsing afterwards, besides being a pain, just reintroduces bacteria etc from your water. Don't rinse! Also, I try to go longer than 3 secs, i think...

SO.... its slightly a crapshoot but seems best to ask for Cornelius and hope to avoid getting stuck with plastic pieces or the firestone poppets I've heard about that can be tricky... I know cornykeg.con sells converted kegs- and yes I have checked out the pinlock to ball lock size difference-...

Reviving an old thread instead of starting anew- so are there any noticeable differences between the two? DOes anyone know if the dimensions are the exact same? WOrking on a kegerator that will be a tight fit, and Keg Connection says you can specify if you want firestone or cornelius (although i...

I have the same exact first question- plan on buying a kit soon from kegconnection but trying to decide whether the 15 bucks extra for a Taprite regulator is worth it.. Anybody else have thoughts? Tempted to get the economy model but i dont know if its more likely to break, and there are no...

still have any of these?

Sorry to have all of us trying to change your mind... but do let us know if you'd consider shipping any of this!

You can't really start and stop a siphon to bottle beers that way- you need to siphon it from your primary into a bottling bucket, and then use a spigot on the bucket to bottle (preferably with a bottling wand attached). Plus siphoning to a bottling bucket first leaves behind the yeast, trub...

Just read through everything as well- a really amazing story and a pretty quick development! Please keep us updated and best of luck!

Summer is in high gear and I am considering building a SOn of Fermenter chiller but one part of the plans I don't quite get is the wiring with the dc adapter, fan and thermostat. Can anyone explain this in a little more detail? I have looked at the plans which say a wire goes from the 12v DC...

Just made my first batch 11 days ago, can't wait for it to be ready but confident form everyone else that this will be a winner. 17130.5 + 5 = 17135.5

Definitely agree there- Oxiclean worked no problem for a few cases I had of different Sam Adams, but I have a six pack of Boston Lager 25th anniversay (where they changed the labels to more of a foil looking type) and its a PITA with glue residue...

Just got the latest Costco coupons in the mail.... BINGO- $2 off of 2 gallons of Mott's brand apple juice. I almost bought my 5 gallons 2 days ago, but didn't- this seems like a sign from God that it's time to try this recipe... Wish they didn't have a limit of 2 or I would stock up for future...

I did this my first time and I think it turned out fine. A little inexact in my divisions but I'm okay with mild flavor variation. If you do have a kit and are dividing it in half, you can use all the yeast then try out Yeast Washing (or just pitch onto the same yeas) and not have to buy new...

If you're still around, Hokie, I'd love to see those pictures but it's saying your photobucket account is inactive again. (Also a few questions from others above if you have a few minutes!)

Frustrating to have my first post be a repeat... sorry i didn't search more first, thought I was on the forefront of this- first time I saw it at my Costco and I'm there pretty regularly... oh well. more reading to do! Thanks for the links!

Hello all, First post but been reading for about a month and finally registered the other day so I'm in for good I suppose: Wondering if anybody has tried the beer from Costco that is made by Kirkland (their brand). It's "hand crafted" or something like that and what I saw was a case with 6...
