My husband and I want to expand into all-grain brewing. Our local brew shop guy said it's probably a good idea to take the class they offer, which is $20 a person. I think they are very knowledgeable, and could be fun, but is it worth it to spend $40, or is it simple enough to learn the method...

I have two questions! 1. What's the best thermometer to have in a kegerator? I have a Kegco brand, and I was thinking to mount one inside. Is a regular fridge thermometer good or is there something better for a kegerator? Any particular brands/models? Currently the only thing I have is the...

Hope ya'll can help me understand why my faucets keep breaking... The tower with 3 faucets was purchased with the kegerator as a package deal from beveragefactory.com almost a year ago. I didn't know much about faucet-ology and didn't think to upgrade to Perlick faucets, or stainless steel...

So...I have two kegs waiting to be tapped, but the thing is, I really don't want to tap them. I want to bottle them instead. Already went through two very similar beers on tap and I'm sick of sweet and malty! I want to put them in bottles like the old days and save my taps for stuff I can...

It seemed like the fermentation was complete when I moved it over to a 5gal carboy, threw in some hops and put on a closed stopper (no airlock). I stuck it in the garage and went away for the weekend. When I came back, the...

I'm sick of the beer I have on tap and want to bottle from a keg, and the guy at my local homebrew store showed me a counterpressure filler he made, which looks easy enough to use but I've heard about beer not lasting very long that way. So I was wondering...If I removed the keg from the co2...

I over-pressurized my keg trying to carb it and beer came back all the way through the co2 line and started foaming out of the manifold. I corrected the problem, do I now need to sanitize the co2 line and/or the manifold, or can that wait until I change kegs? Thanks!

I have my (first ever) three kegs all hooked up, and they are slow carbonating (I hope that's the correct term) for a few weeks at 12-13 psi (no priming sugar). The fridge temp is 48F for the time being. I've taken samples of the beers every few days and it seems like the carbonation is coming...
