    Went there today; they were awesome. Mark was a huge help for me (never brewed before). Answered a lot of my questions, and got me set up with two kits I'm excited to brew. Definitely the store to go to for great customer service. Clearly more into helping their customers than pushing the most...

    Commercial Beer Issues

    Issue is still happening. I reached out to Sam Adams, and they told me to dial up my PSI a bit. I did this and now its pouring with 1.5" of head, but then its flat. I don't get it! I have a cider keg hooked up too, and its pouring great.

    has anyone gotten reviews of them recently? I've ordered from a variety of online shops (ritebrew, aih, midwest, etc) and I have a LHBS but they are low volume. I'm only 15 min from Love2Brew at work, and would love to check them out if they still hold strong reviews!

    Idylis 5.0 Keezer Build

    Idylis 5.0 Keezer Build

    I can fit 2 sixtels on the floor without a collar, but I needed a 10" collar to be able to fit one on the hump (going with a standard sankey coupler). I got my first sixtel tapped the other night. SA Octoberfest. Set it at 10 PSI with about 10' of line. Pour is a little slow, but its absolutely...

    Idylis 5.0 Keezer Build

    Picked up my first commercial keg last night! Sixtel of SA Octoberfest. I got the last keg of it in my county so I was pretty pleased with that.
