I have started using plastic milk crates. They work great. They are lightweight but strong enough to handle full bottles. I have seen them on Ebay. When looking for them I've realized that business that take milk supplies tend to have a large quantity of these as they are good for lots of...

Well, when i realized that the first keg had a leak I found out because the CO2 had drained. So I siphoned (no co2 used) to the new keg. Then refilled my Co2 tank. So I only used it to carb the keg and dispense some of it. It's a 5# tank. Maybe I should ask how many kegs they last you guys...

I have been making beer boxes out of 1/4 and 1/2 inch birch/oak plywood. I made one big enough for a case and then several that hold 6 packs. They stack really well and of the 6 packs I give away to friends it adds something to the gift. If you made 12 or 24 bottle boxes that are taller...

I've read somewhere (maybe on this forum) that storing DME is a pain. How do you guys store your extract and about how long can you keep it around?
