4 525s f*ck yes! I got holes drilled for 2 more. Need to get some brewing done so I can have 6 on tap at once. cant seem to get beyond having 4 on tap, i drink to fast..

why in the world would you leave the top of the bucket on with the blow off tube still in there as you are bottling? why wouldnt you take the top of the bucket off and remove the blow off tube? how did you get the priming sugar into the bucket? are you using carbonation tabs? just relax and...

if i am gonna cut off the plastic picnic taps, you dont happen to know the right barb size off the top of your head do you?

oh thats awesome thanks. pretty much the same price too.. so thats it, straight nipple shanks and the perlicks? then some clamps to keep the lines on the end? not bad I can order 4 right away. gonna try 3 525 and one 575 to give the creamer action a little test..

austin homebrew supply calls it a 'Fitting Kit', i think it has the extras.. i used a 2"x8" to build the collar. is the 3" shank proper?

Yes its time. The 4 picninc taps are messy, time for Perlicks. Still debating 525 or 575.. maybe 1 575 to start to see if the creamer action is that good.. Anyways sorry for this but I did just search for 20 min. why cant i find a 'Installing Perlicks in you Collar' thread? What...

I kegged and put it in the keezer right away. My first thought would be that the colder temp would stall or kill an infection? Just my thought.. but i will say, it still tastes good, but in the better bottle, the beer was crystal clear. its been on gas for 7 days now, and still pours very...

Relax dude. Everyone here is friendly. Everyone is also busy, just like you. This is a great resource for unlimited info and conflicting opinions on diff ways to do the same things, which is great. The fun is to try everything every diff way that sounds good to you, and form your own...

If it is an extract recipe, you steep these grains to add flavor that you cannot get from the extract. The LME or DME will add all the fermentables you need, and steeping these grains will just add flavor and color. If it is a partial mash recipe, you need to mash a percentage of these...
