    Where are the Johnstown, PA area homebrewers at???

    I would call here http://www.caseyandfriendsboutique.com/blairsvillehomebrew.htm. Its a great homebrew shop in Blairsville. I remember hearing her say something about her husband and a hombrew club in Johnstown. I didn't pay that much attention as I'm from the other direction(Greensburg) but...

    Pubkeg plastic kegs?

    Most homebrewers don't have access to commercial keg cleaning equipment which is what caused the accidental death associated with these kegs. Homebrewers are more likely to take the keg apart and clean is like they would a corny keg. I get these kegs for free where I work, making it much...

    Pubkeg plastic kegs?

    So I just tore mine apart to see how it went. It comes completely apart, even the valve can be torn apart very easily. Once the spear is out, there are two clips that hold a cap on the end of the valve. Once the cap is popped off, there just a spring and the button that the coupler depresses.

    Pubkeg plastic kegs?

    That just made my day, thanks! :ban: I've been filling mine from another keg through a sanke tap with the check valve removed. I thought the valve might screw off, but I didn't want to put any real force to it without knowing for sure if it would work for fear of breaking it.

    Pubkeg plastic kegs?

    By internals do you mean the whole inner, or the valve/diptube? I can't figure out how to take the valve out or apart on mine: I had come to the conclusion that it doesn't come apart.

    What gauge SS are Hoff Stevens kegs?

    I don't know if anybody still cares but I just hit my hoff-stevens keggle with my cheap home set of calipers. It's either 13 or 14 gauge, leaning towards 14. (yes, that how cheap my at-home calipers are) It measures a hair over 2mm, but I think the hair over was because I couldn't find a nice...

    Ice Concentration, Separation, Refermentation, & Resurrection

    There's no fine line about it. Distillation is concentration by boiling off alcohol. This is freeze concentration. I've never once seen the B.A.T.F. seize freezers in an "illegal" jacking operation. That said, this is so freaking cool! Is there any oxidation flavors? I would imagine they...

    Getting rdy to wire up stc1000-question?

    Use that to figure out if it's OK. You can use a heater as long as the amperage isn't over what it's rated for. Bear in mind the heater and the fridge compressor shouldn't be on at the same time. If you need to you could always cut the extension cord shorter and wire a new plug on to make it...

    Getting rdy to wire up stc1000-question?

    How many amps does the fridge pull? Just remember that when wiring the stc you're basically wiring another wall outlet.

    Favorite American Lager

    I forgot to mention another local American lager: Straub. It has a really nice crisp earthy taste. I always say it tastes like dirt, but in a good way.

    Favorite American Lager

    Nope, it's misleading because it says pale on the label: It's a pale lager. Forgot about this one. I haven't drank that much of it since they sold out and moved away from here but it enjoy this one from time to time in the summer. Couldn't agree more, it's also wonderful from a tap. If...

    Favorite American Lager

    Yuengling is my go-to when I'm at a bar that doesn't serve crafts. It's also a nice lawnmower beer at under 5% abv. My only complaint is the green bottles, but it's even decent skunked.

    Will a standard knot hold ok with baling twine?

    As long as it's natural fiber twine you'll be fine with one good square knot. Remember, right over left, left over right.

    OH NO!!! Why would you do this to a mini keg???

    What you meant was "300 yards with a mosin nagant? That's some crazy luck!" Haha, I'm a mosin nagant man myself, so I know the OP's shoulder is too destroyed to come after me for that comment!

    chocolate

    I've used Hershey's Special Dark, and regular hershey's powder in both wines and beers. I've had the best luck adding the powder to a little bit of water or vodka in a blender and blending the crap out of it. It doesn't like to mix into room temperature liquid, especially if it's the regular...
