Just last night after racking a Hefe over into a keg, I just had to taste it so I gassed it and locked on my tap adapter. Well, I forgot to CLOSE the tap before putting it on the post and the hefe started squirting out. No big deal except it squirted onto the back of the high pressure gauge...

LME porter, kegged, star san, yeast nutrients. I panicked a few days ago because a 3 week old porter had massive metallic flavors and went on a licking binge taste testing all my equipment. 3 days later (not kidding) I tasted the porter again and the metallic flavors are gone...

Yeah, it will probably look like this in a week.

Porter and a hefe, 5 gal each: 39180+10= 39190

PBR. TOTAL Pipeline FAIL. Friggen porter is still young, and the Hefe is still bubbling. I'm new to homebrewing and not having a corny to bust down the door of my friends party to be my worst nubile mistake.

I thought this was going to be about pipeline. Light emitted from the sun doesn't get to Earth for 8 minutes, but since nothing travels faster than light it might as well be happening now. It's all dependent on your relative time frame. The beer I brewed doesn't reach my mouth for 4 weeks...

I have a number of home made and found items with 3/8-16 thread that have graced my tap. So far my favorite is a McMaster 6940K52 aluminum knob. Also, M10x1.5 is just close enough to 3/8-16 to thread on and not damage your tap. That means any shift knob made for Hondas will fit taps too...

Grab the reins and start humping. It helps to have a 6.5gal's head space.

Yeah but you can't shoot those in the backyard, or essentially for free. Besides, everyone has a an AR, a SKS or a AK these days. I'll take something wildly unique over an also-ran.

I've been shaking then purging the headspace with pure oxygen, then shaking some more. I'm on my third batch (noob) and they always start bubbling within 18 hours.

I used a piece of 1.5" pvc, a 5/16" bolt, and a Milwaukee grinder. I just bolted the grinder through a hole in the PVC. I used washers between the head of the bolt and the PVC to adjust the radius. Very similar to OP, but with a bolt instead of the handle. Worked great.

Yup, those are already in my cart.

Edit: (I just fubared my post) I think the PRV's are "D" type. This is what the lid looks like, with the footless lockbar. BUT the valve looks like the "D" type; the whole body screws out. But CHI says to put a gray PRV in it. I have some gray PRV's on my kegs, I'll try those. But I'm...

My friend got two 10 gallon Challenger kegs for effing free (I hate him so much right now). I've identified them as old Firestone Challengers with small race track lids, you know, with the post spacers and plastic dip tube. Despite searching around here, CHI, Williams, Keg...

Alright, I gotta throw mine in too. There is ONE restaurant in my city that serves decent beer on tap. There are about 36 taps, and a corresponding menu. I noticed there was a summer seasonal on the list(it's winter), so I ask: "Are there any beers on tap that are not on this list?" "No...

HAHA. I started a thread 2 weeks ago right before my first brew. HBS sent me the wrong extract which made it some weird bastard beer. Tastes great so far!

5g of hefedunkle (Belgian white accidentally made with amber extract) 32,282.32+5= 32,287.32

I sniff that airlock so much, I'm going to be bored with the beer before I even get to drink it! The fermenter is on the kitchen counter and I put my nose right on the 3-piece and suck it. I get starsan foam in my nose sometimes. I actually got my wife to sample the sample a week ago. She...
