And that is exactly why this marketing works. Triple Hoops Brewed. Cold filtered. Ice brewed. Beechwood Aged. Tap the Rockies. Etc. 90% of beer drinkers have no clue on how beer is made or with what. So throw something out that sounds fancy and people will buy it. Not bashing as I drink...

I use tap water just fine.

I do it all the time. Usually I won't have space in the kegorator ready to go. So it did a few weeks anyways. So I sugar carb.

My 4 year old can pour me a beer. If I ask her she will grab a pint glass and pull the tap and stop it in time. Having said that. My kids don't go into the mancave unsupervised. To much **** in there for them to screw up. I will probably be seriously consider getting locks once they get to...

I would be worried about oxidation using a funnel. Maybe purge each bottle with CO2 prior to filling them.

Just but the bullet on a refractometer on e-bay after I broke my last one. 28 bucks shipped. That's 4 $7 hydros. Which is how many I have broken the last few years.

Lol Sounds like chugger needs to concentrate on getting his pumps built and shipped. Rather then trying to cast doubt on the competition's products on HBT.

Was never an issue for me. Maybe if you keep the fridge outside in the hot ass summer. But most folks keep them indoors.

I use Oxyclean all the time. I rinse with tap water about three times to get everything out. Then use star-san to sanitize and drain with no rinse. That works without issues for me.

What kind of homebrew store does not have grains? Not trying to be a smart-ass. But it is a legitimate question. Me recomendation is to either find a different homebrew shop or use one of the many on-line shops. Steeping grains are not necessary for making homebrew but they sure make it...

Sure you can. I used a picnic tap for a couple of years just fine. It's a minor inconvenience to open the fridge every time but you get used it. Certainly nothing wrong with it. My wife bought a tower a few years ago for my birthday. It's pretty easy to add it if you are willing to drill a few...

Oxyclean is a great cleaner. But it's no sanitiser. I am suspecting you have un-sanitized nasties in your fermentor. Do you use anything like star-san, idophor (or bleach soluation) to sanitize)?

I think a SS braid + fly sparging is part of the problem. for fly sparging you want even drainage throughout the bottom of the mash-tun. You are not gonging to be collecting wort sideways into your braid. So you essentially have un-collected wort and un-rinsed grains wherever you do not have a...

Pretend it's a small carboy and siphon it out.

1k! I went all grain for less then $150.

You could use 2 liter soda bottles.

Why do people age? Why do plants, animals and everything in the universe age? Entropy cannot be stopped. It's a fundamental law of physics.

My advice (take it or leave it) Save up your money for a small used fridge and a corny. In the mean time you can bottle in 2 liter soda bottles to cut back on your bottling time.

I used them a bunch no problem. But after the 2nd one exploded u got a keg set-up. They are a ticking time bottle bomb.

Depends what the growlers look like. The ones with the metal handles and swing tops are fine. The all glass ones with screw top cannot hold the pressure. I have personal experience. I have had 2 of the screw tops explode on me.
