    Kegerator build help needed - shopping list

    Not sure if there is a HBT sponsor that carries this. I got mine from beverage factory but several places sell it. More wine has it for the cheapest. It just a curvy piece of metal that lets you pop out that ring. Once you do it with the tool a few times you will be able to remove the ring in...

    Kegerator build help needed - shopping list

    I use a small flashlight and can get a pretty good look inside with that. I guess you could get one of those tiny mirrors on a pole and look with that too if you want. A carboy brush fits perfectly in the opening. Like johnnyrotten said they are easy to open and clean once you get used to it...

    Kegerator build help needed - shopping list

    I remove the spear and rinse with hot water and oxyclean. Then starsan. I also store all of my empty ones with star San in them. For stubborn stuck on stuff I use a carboy brush. Also a pressure washer wand will fit inside the neck and blast anything outta there. I bought some used ones...

    Brewometer kickstarter thoughts - digital bluetooth hydrometer

    Thanks for that detailed breakdown. But since it would be sold by the originally retailer the per unit cost would not be $120 but somewhere less. Let's hypothesize that this unit has a mere $40 markup above cost of goods. Would the seller be willing to make only $20 profit for the advantage of...

    Fist time kegging

    Your keg still has 30 psi in it. That will pour foam. Set it to 10 psi for three days. Then it will be fine.

    Brewometer kickstarter thoughts - digital bluetooth hydrometer

    Takes less than a few hours to list your product on Amazon. A little more effort to get it to ship Prime. My point is that there are many customers that prefer to buy on Amazon. Especially for products from new companies. On Amazon I am guaranteed that my product will be delivered. This makes it...

    Brewometer kickstarter thoughts - digital bluetooth hydrometer

    Didn't read all the pages. But why isn't this available on Amazon? I'd have just impulse bought one. Even better on Prime.

    Concial fermenter

    Makes sense. Often devices are produced a certain way for efficiency of manufacturing more than efficiency of the actual product use.

    Too cold for bacteria?

    What was the condition of the keg before PBW and star San? Recently finished beer or old mold ?

    Switched from chrome plated to stainless faucet

    I upgraded my Home Depot kegerator 5 months ago and pull the original faucet and ordered a Perlick. I was price shopping and decided on the Perlick 630PC chrome plated faucet. I'd had the original chrome plated faucet for a while and it seemed in decent condition but I didn't like that it would...

    Immersion chiller in glycol cooler

    Water in the chiller before you dropped it in the glycol froze? That blocks the flow in the chiller ? What temp is the glycol ?

    Bag spreader, not really sure what to call it. Quick question.

    My bag has a drawstring so I just pull it tight with that around the kettle. Then a clip to keep it

    Investing in a glycol chiller

    I agreed a small fridge can hold two 5 gallon kegs and has to occupy less volume than 2 kegs plus insulation plus a glycol cooler and venting

    Stuck Fermentation

    Extract or grain ? What was your mash temp? I just used amylase for the first time after too high mash temp and was able to get my Kolsch from 1.02 to 1.01 in 4 days after adding one teaspoon. No extra yeast. Just let what was there get back working

    So tired of crummy efficiency...

    Why instant rice and quick grits instead of regular rice and grits? Your gonna mash it for a while. No need to rush it. From Wikipedia instant rice article. Rice naturally has minerals like phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. Instant rice has fewer of the calories, carbohydrates, and...
