Hey guys, I recently tried Harpoon's Chocolate Stout and enjoyed it enough to want to do my own take on it. So I sifted through the forums here to find out as much as I could on people's reflections on actual chocolate in beer. The main thing I determined is that it doesn't seem people can...

What's going in the attic? That just storage for the brewing equipment when not in use or storage in general? Pretty sweet build, I'm jealous... Congrats on the 25 years too, excellent way to celebrate.

Thanks guys, those sound like good tips. Unfortunately I'm heading on a trip and don't have time to check on it until I get back in two weeks. I'll let you know what happens when I get back. Appreciate the help!

I gave your strategy a shot but I still hear gas moving through the regulator even when I turn it back a bit. I guess I've got two clarification questions. When you turn up the gas and then back off the pressure, does the needle on the low pressure gage fall as you turn it down? The reason I...

I seem to be having some trouble with my regulator and wondering if any of you have had a similar problem and know what needs tightening, fixing, or replacing. The obvious symptom is that something is leaking. The current 5lb CO2 tank didn't get me through 3 corny kegs and that doesn't...

There a recommended time to 'retire' glass? Like after so many uses or such?

Might a thermistor make more sense in this application than a thermocouple? Thermocouples tend to be for up to several hundred degrees C and you're talking about probably no more than 110C (If you go all the way to boil, I don't know all your acronyms but I get a feeling this may be for mashing...

The beer was bottled in December, so it's been around for a few months. I'm liking the idea of a weakened bottle/micro-cracks. It occurred to me that if the bottled had been crushed it probably would have been me doing the crushing and I would have heard resultant explosion. But I didn't...

Here's my story. About 3-4 weeks ago my dorm room started smelling like beer for some reason. I thought this was odd because I always wash out all my bottles but sometimes I delay a day so whatever. A little while after that I notice a piece of glass on my bathroom floor. This is odd...
