Well needless to say, I was in a hurry and not paying close enough attention. It's been a year since my last brew and I was trying to crank out some home improvement projects at the same time so I managed to fail to follow the partial grain recipe for fat tire. Just wondering g if you guys have...

Hi guys, wondering if anyone has a homebrew keg hooked up on the same regulator and CO2 tank as a craft brew keg? I bought the CO2 Splitter but I am now looking at the whole setup and thinking that the same pressure on 2 different types of kegs wont work... Can anyone confirm or deny?

Long story short, I'm restoring this cool old kegerator, Ive got the lines and fittings re-done but the one part I cant find is the tower shank. I need a shank that has a 9/16" diameter to go through the hole in the 2.5" diameter tower. My other option is to take the tower to a machine shop...

I think I ruined this batch... Somehow the Auto-siphon didn't work, I think I used a different tube to attach to it that didn't fit snugly so I couldnt create a total seal to maintain the siphon. So instead of finding the other tube I manually pumped it into my cornie. There were a good deal of...

I am planning on racking to my secondary today, which is a cornie, but got me to thinking, do I need an airlock? I know the fermentation is about done, no more bubbling in my primary airlock but just a bit curious if sitting in a cornie for 1-2 weeks will build up enough pressure to create a...

A friend of a friend gave me his old cornie keg that I want to use as my secondary. When I opened it it visually looks clean of any debris or residue but has a strong rootbeer smell, I have it soaking in hot water and sanitizer - will this smell permiate into my beer if I use it as the secondary?

I cant seem to find the answer using the search tool, hopefully some of the vets can help me out here. Im looking to setup my kegerator with an easy changeover fitting to switch between a typical D Coupler back to the ball lock coupler for my cornie keg. I am assuming someone has done this...

I bought an old kegerator a few weeks back and the guy threw in the CO2 Tank, I knew it was worthless as far as being used with the kegerator but I am wondering if these are still used by welders or any other trade? Its probably from the 70s, looks like steel, not aluminum. Worth anything to...

I bought my Hop plants from High Hops not knowing what to expect as I havent had the best luck buying healthy rhyzomes. I received them quickly and in good shape. I was happyto see that the leaves werent even wilted and still very green even after 2-3 days in shipping which can be pretty hard on...

Here is part of my inspiration in gettign back into brewing. Back in the day we had a kegerator in the college house, but thats long gone. I plan on giving this baby a light restore with a deep clean, new paint and new fixtures and lines. The first beer to flow through it will be a partial grain...

Hi All, I'm getting back into homebrewing after a couple year hiatus. Ive been trolling around in the background for awhile and just want to say thanks for all the great info I have found. I just brewed a patial grain kit from Northern Brewer this last weekend, Fixed Gear American Ale from...
