O bought mine from McMaster.com. They had many with variable pressure limits on them... I bought 2 with a max of 15 PSI and 1 that goes to 30. I like the idea of really dialing in the pressure when I want to. They were around $9 each. kvh.

A while back, while idly strolling around Big Lots (or Odd Lots, depending on where in the country you are), I found a 4-way splitter intended for compressed air. The whole unit was maybe $5, so that would be a start for something like this. You would just remove the quick-releases that came...

Fair enough. I was convinced you weren't adding raw gluten to the mix... kvh

A quick google search seems to indicate that roasted barley does contain gluten. And I think you meant to source raw barley... I'm wholeheartedly up for the challenge. The one gluten-free beer I've tried was terrible - I'm convinced I could make something better. I think the secret lies in...

Actually, my primer did nothing. The inside scratches when I nick it. It's easy to touch up as the epoxy enamel blends in rather easily. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just be sure it's clean and dry. kvh.

Thanks - it does the job certainly. I haven't taken any photos since I bought my last two Shirrons. A friend who works in a furniture shop is making tap handles for me. I also custom-etched a zinc plate and enameled it for the front door, which hides where the old Beverage Air tag was...

I was reading this yesterday, and relayed the story to by brewing partner... Both of us were jealous of such an awesome project and an excellent excuse to travel. Then we got to talking about what exactly would make the trip so important in terms of the beer. It would be the agitation, the...

Fed Ex has a freight service... a couple hundred dollars should get that to you in a few days... kvh

I don't think you're crazy, but I think a 1-gal batch is too small. The relative percentage in ingredient volumes to make a gallon have the potential to throw you off considerably. Better put, if you have a hop or grain volume that is slightly mis-measured, say off by .5 or 1 oz, you could be...

The one problem I have with the podcast is that you really can't do ANYTHING ELSE while you're listening to it. It demands so much attention just to not miss anything. Driving to it might be ok, but don't try to surf the web or listen to it at work, you'll miss it all. On the other hand, in...

I make 3 gal. AG batches because I don't have the space for a propane burner, full size keggles, or anything. It's fine, except I burn through the kegs faster. Incidentally 98EXL, the guy who wrote that article for BYO also runs podcasts on the subject of beer, both audio and video, and he...

I did the same thing at a bar I frequented for a couple weeks last month on the Eastern Shore of MD. The first time I had a Sierra, I couldn't figure out why it tasted so different. The second time I visited, I started insisting I be served a warm glass with my bottle. By the second week, they...

Awesome! Exactly what I wanted to hear. thx. kvh.

Yeah, I realize it's probably a slow leak... but I have to ask. I drained a co2 tank last week due to a bad pressure-release valve. No problem, taken care of. Got it refilled, up to 1000 PSI, plugged everything back in, fixed the valve, and everything was good. I just took a couple...

Mine has a pull-ring on it. I just unscrewed it, rinsed everything off, and reseated it. It seems to be holding... It doesn't matter because a new one is arriving by Friday/Monday... Keg Lube would probably help too... Thanks though. kvh

I had a keg arrive with pressure, but I fiddled with the pressure valve and now it leaks. (Figured this out after I emptied a new CO2 cylinder). I just ordered a replacement valve for it, but can anyone give me a tip on disassembly? I thought it didn't come apart, but the guy at...

He's also used the method for drying herbs, and making jerkey. I'm not so sure about jerkey on a furnace filter, but he swears by it.... I believe those are one-time-use-only filters though. The hops/herbs one you can use over and over.

That is all perfectly normal. That yeast is the whole reason you moved to secondary. You could let it sit there for 3 months and it wouldn't affect the flavor of the beer. Relax and have a homebrew. kvh

Use the Alton Brown (Good Eats) method of drying things - buy a few 20" x 20" furnace air filters (the zig-zag kind, not the squishy mesh kind). Fill all the crevices with hops, a different variety per filter... stack them up with an empty one on top, lay a box fan onto it, and bungie cord the...

kegconnection.com says they will.
